There are two queen bedrooms and one with two singles (each room has it's own portable heater) plus a generous sized bathroom and a relaxing bathtub for the days you need to unwind with a book (and if you forget your own, there’s a selection of books in the downstairs retreat).

A romantic fireplace helps warm the house for the chilly nights keeping you cozy and the well-appointed kitchen with large oven, stocked with basic needs (tea, coffee, oil, herbs), flows seamlessly to the dining space with an 8 seater table to entertain. Double doors lead out to a cute alfresco area overlooking the generous and immaculate backyard, a great space to watch the kids kicking the footy.

For those that might need to work away from home, there’s wifi and a dedicated work desk downstairs which also features an ensuite, comfy couch and downstairs alfresco area. This is also a wonderful private space to curl up with a great book and cup of tea while looking out to the lush gardens, or to sit and meditate.

The house is a great base to visit many stunning beaches like middleton beach and emu point, walking and biking trails, hikes and also the Porongorup wine region – something for everyone.

Driving is the easiest way to get around although there are lovely cycling trails if you don’t mind some hills! 😅
