This review mainly relates to Moonrise Cottage which is on the same property as The Dairy Cottage. We had arranged to stay at Dairy but when we arrived the cottage had not been cleaned or made up due to a mix up with the cleaners. Thankfully, Moonrise Cottage was vacant and had been made up by the cleaners so Ashe arranged for us to stay there instead. Ashe and his local contact communicated very well and arranged the move in a very efficient manner. I do wonder what would have happen though if Moonrise was booked. It was a wet and windy Sunday night so I'm not sure how we would have been accommodated.
Moonrise was lovely, it is old and you need to expect old world charm and dated furnishings. All of which appeals to me and was the kind of stay we were looking for. However there is a difference between old world charm and old world grime and we did find that the cleanliness levels were not great. We also felt that the mattress has had its day and needs replacing.
The location is stunning, the cottages are dated but beautiful. The ability to light a fire at night and enjoy the peacefulness is lovely, the proximity to Margaret River township and surrounding wineries and breweries is ideal and the communication with Ashe was good.
Would I stay again? Probably not, purely because of the level of cleanliness which is something I deem very important especially nowadays.
