We fell in love with Karen’s place from the moment we entered the premise. The unique charm of an old house was adequately preserved while the amenities were sufficiently modern and convenient. All rooms, including the bathroom, had heating for the cold nights and chilly early mornings. The coffee maker was good and the crockery and cooking utensils were well-organised for comfortable home-cooking with great buys from the nearby Bunbury Farmers Market. The house was also conveniently located next to an Asian grocer. The fragrant lavender in front of the house, the kookaburra contentedly sitting on the grass in the backyard, only added to the charm of the home. Our daughter enjoyed seeing the tiny snails in the backyard, while helping my wife hang out the laundry before we left to see dolphins up and close at the Dolphin Discovery Center nearby. The coffee machine was good for me to treat my wife to her morning cuppa. It was a home we could live in forever. Our only regret is that it was not our actual home.
