Fabia is awesome! She met us when we arrived and made us feel so welcome. She had baked a lovely loaf of bread for us, with super-delicious homemade banana jam. She also provided skim milk like we asked, and she explained everything in the room and kitchen, plus she showed us where to go, eat, visit etc, using a map.

The room itself is very, very comfortable. Everything you need is provided--shampoo, conditioner, soap, fluffy towels, hairdryer, umbrella. There are fresh flowers in the room, and the bed is firm, with very nice sheets and quilt. We slept very well indeed! The kitchen is well equipped with plates, cutlery, microwave, fridge, and water in a stone urn.

The garden is heavenly, with flowers and trees galore and a fantastic 360-degree view! If you like birds, this is the place to stay. All day long, we saw so many beautiful birds--galahs, cockatoos, honeybirds, magpies, ducks, kookaburras etc. There were kangaroos and rabbits dashing about, and even a handsome frog perching on the back of the outdoor sofa, one night. Whether lying in bed or sitting on the comfy chairs on the patio, you see this slice of heaven unfold before you. And at night, the stars are so bright in the velvety darkness, with nary a tall building in sight to block the view. A section of Margaret River runs past the River Cabana Guesthouse, and we had a wonderful long walk there, because Fabia had recommended it. The drive to the Guesthouse is also very scenic, as the long road in is lined with trees. If you have a car, the drive to Margaret River town is pleasant and takes about 5 minutes.

We stayed 3 days and 2 nights, and we were so reluctant to leave River Cabana Guesthouse. It was a wonderful stay, and we would come back to Australia just to stay at Fabia's beautiful place again. Her greyhound, Apee, is very sweet and added to the charm of this amazingly lovely place. Having stayed at other Airbnb places for this trip, we can see that Fabia is more than a class above other hosts. She gave us our space, but answered our questions when we had them and was so very welcoming. She is knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife in the area, and she had excellent recommendations about where to go. We couldn't have asked for a better host or a nicer place to stay. River Cabana Guesthouse really is a paradise! Thanks so much, Fabia!!
