Nice rural setting - maybe would go back in summer to get a better experience

6.0

We liked the rural feel of it and had fun watching the kangaroos out the window! Liked the 2 levels of the apartment and the spa bath was awesome!

It was quite cold and there were no blankets! The bed was quite uncomfortable, especially trying to sit up and watch tv!

A wonderfully relaxing stay.

9.0

It had a lovely feel to it and the grounds were very pretty. The homestead was spacious and charming with two sitting areas and a dining area . The kitchen was well equipped and there were a good selection of teas with coffee and hot chocolate sachets too. The bedroom was comfortable and had a heater provided. It had a nice outlook onto a courtyard. I loved sitting out on the verandah overlooking the trees and ponds for my morning coffee and breakfast. It was well located just off caves road not too far from Margaret River town.

The first night we were there the open fire was prepared and lit for us which was lovely but the second night it was prepared but there was no way to light it. The bathroom sink was very slow to drain and the plug hole was a bit dirty which made me think there might have been a blockage (room 5)
