Whalebone Quindalup was the perfect location to spend an Easter holiday, with everything comfort and convenience considered. We felt so very lucky to have snapped it up for six days, and the very kind Janine made every effort to welcome us and accomodate questions before arriving.
With a beautiful balance struck between luxury and simplicity, the team behind this spot have considered all the things that make a trip away truly great. The best, softest linens and a plush pillow top on the mattress? Check! Two bathrooms, one a little fancy and one more suited to kids back from the beach? Check! A cupboard stocked on arrival with lovely treats like hot chocolate and marshmallows, yummy local granola and more? Check, check and check.
My favourite parts: a kitchen with MANY utensils and dishes and vessels (nothing worse than going to cook an Easter Sunday feast and having to improvise to get it done!). The vintage art works dotted across the walls. Having a washer AND dryer in a spot that is tucked away so as not to encroach on the holiday feels. That beautiful deck, with a big table to seat family and friends and a daybed for lounging, which we used every day - added some great wine and a tasty platter (the sunset comes complimentary) and listened to the sounds of kids playing and boats skimming across Geographe Bay. The peace and quiet of Quindalup, and the beach all to ourselves right across the road.
When I said to my 14 year old son as we were driving away on our final day that I guessed he was probably looking forward to getting home and seeing his friends, he said "Why would I want to leave here?!" High praise from him, and a couldn't agree more - having such a brilliant stay made it tough to leave, but eager to come back again!
