Aqua Downs is the place to stay if you want to relax, or have some good quality family time. The house is split into three areas, bedrooms and bathroom, lounge and bar, and kitchen and dining. Plenty of space for everyone. There is a small contained outside area where you can sit and enjoy a cuppa or cocktail and right next door to that is the raised decked pool area for hot days. Inside you have everything you need: plenty of towels and beach towels, toilet paper, bedding, fans for warm nights, heaters for cold nights, a tv in the main bedroom, plenty of books to read or dvds to watch. A nice big tv, something that most holiday places skimp on. A small sound system, and a bar fridge. In the kitchen is every appliance you'd need, even a bread maker.
Janet is a very generous and helpful host. If you need her she's there, but she doesn't hang around your area, even though her living quarters is next door. There is ample privacy. We went with our grown up kids and their partners, who enjoyed playing ping pong, and shooting balls in the hoops outside, hubby and I even enjoyed a couple of games of the BIG Connect 4 in the games room. There is gym equipment if you need, and a massage table. We made use of the laundry and the barbecue. Everything worked well. Janet ensures you have plenty of extras - there was washing powder, shampoos, breakfast on first morning which was fabulous, and extra treats. She really is the hostess with the mostest! Aqua Downs is a simple 15 minute drive into the town of Esperance. We tried the Pier Hotel (Janet gave us some coupons she'd got for free drinks which we used up), we went to Golden Orient for Chinese food. Food was fine in both places. Cape le Grande National Park is a must to visit, we went on two different occasions and loved it. We spent the day at Hellfire Bay which had great amenities. At the farm, we went on walks and enjoyed feeding the animals too, there was a lovely natured kangaroo, Nulla, who enjoyed her peanuts, Leo the cow who is on his own mission most of the time but did come over for a pat, and the three sheep and lamb who come charging for their treats. Biggest sheep I've ever seen! Only negative that a big group might find is one toilet and bathroom. Give it a go folks, comes highly recommended. thanks Janet and Dave.
