We were looking for a view for our getaway from Perth. And what a view! In WA we are used to the beautiful sunset over the water, not always do we get to have a sunrise! The inlet is sooo peaceful and the area the cottage is located is very calm/ quiet. It was perfect for 2 adults and two kids, but definitely could have had another couple with us. The house is cozy/ small, but so charming, inviting and the furniture is comfortable. The whole back wall of the house is made of windows, so you are extended onto the balcony at all times. The hosts provided very clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements; for the cooler weather, there’s plenty of wooly blankets & each room has a heater. We cooked both nights and had all basic kitchen gear to make it happen. The walk down the stairs took us right into the water, walking less than 500m we were in a playground for the kids & the boats entryway for fishing. In 15 mins, by car, we were in Mandurah’s boardwalk. For us, it wasn’t about location and Mandurah itself, it was all about the views and all about the charm of this little house: if you like creaky floorboards and a wine by the porch kind of nights, you will love this. If you want to go fishing/crabbing/kayaking, this is also a fantastic location! Thanks Suzy for the text messages and making us feel welcome. Thanks also for the toys and books, my daughters loved it!
