We stayed over just one night to explore some of the estuary and lake areas south of Perth. It would have been a great place to stay longer. It is very spacious and well equipped for cooking (a nice gas stove and knives and pans and things that actually work). It's just a short walk/bike to the estuary or a quick drive (or long bike) to the (ocean) beach. Deb provided good directions and good recommendations for places to eat in the area (we enjoyed Silk Thai!).
