Maree's place is great!
The house is lovely in the photos but even better in real life. The three biggest surprises were that the house is around 50% larger than we thought it would be, everything is spotless and the kitchen has far more equipment and supplies than you would ever expect! There is no need to bring vinegar, oils, sauces, etc. as several kinds of them it will probably be there.
We stayed with four adults and six children. The older boys spent most of their free time at the quite decent skate park that was around 100m across the road. It was within calling distance when meals were ready. The younger children spent time at the park or played closer to the house. The adults organised excursions or went on various walks. The shops, pub, tourist centre and jetties are all within two blocks of the house.
If you don't have children then the house is perfect for three couples who wish to get away from it all in a very civilised manner.
Walpole itself is a lovely town. Margaret River might have been like it forty years ago. If it were a couple of hours closer to Perth it would packed with tourists, but we had it all to ourselves instead. You definitely need a car to get there and to visit any of the tourist attractions that are in the region and forests.
Thanks very much Maree. We were blown away by your home and we cannot rate it highly enough!
