Geri was communicative and attentive without being overbearing or intrusive. The property was lovely and clean - exactly as pictured on the site.
We didn’t end up needing the other half but the side we stayed in was comfortable and well equipped for all our needs.
Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone.

A wonderful holiday home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cape Illawarra, it had everything we needed to explore the local Margaret River region and hunker down in the warm at the end of each day.
We spent most of our time in the main living area of the house, which was well appointed and had private views out across the bush setting in every direction.
Everything was easy, great hosts, highly recommended.

Peaceful and a great location

High quality house in a beautiful bush setting
Cape Illawarra is an excellent place to stay. It is kept very clean with high quality furniture and fittings; all well looked after. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need should you decide to eat in. The bush setting is perfect and in a quiet neighbourhood. Communication with the owners was very good - clear, prompt and efficient. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and had no complaints (other than that our stay wasn't long enough).

Fantastic place - highly recommended
This is a perfect getaway location for a family or groups of friends. We had 3 couples, and were really impressed with the location and facilities. The peaceful bush location, close to the town centre, and visiting kangaroos added to the tranquillity. Our host Geri was always available to answer any questions. we would definitely visit again.

Beautiful trees... and kangaroos
We had a wonderful stay here. The house was large, modern and very clean. But the highlight was the wonderful bush outside and the visiting kangaroos. Very special! Thanks Geri and Greg.

Outstanding Getaway Location
Just fantastic in every way possible. The location of the house on the 2 hectares of peaceful bush land, is just perfect! A jewel in the bush, yet only a 2 minute drive to the middle of Margret River. The house has everything you need and is beautifully maintained. The 2 separate parts to the house are excellent also. Geri, the owner, was super to deal with and very prompt with answering any queries. The house overall is quite luxurious. We will definitely be back!!

Great relaxing stay
The house is in a fantastic location, a short walk into the main area of Margaret River. The setting is amazing, surrounded by bush, it's a nice relaxing place to stay. The house itself is perfect for a small or large group, with separate areas capable of catering for multiple groups. Geri was in contact on multiple of occasions prior to and at the start of our stay to update us/check in on us which was much appreciated.
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. will stay here again if we make our way over to Margaret River again in the future

Perfect getaway!
The house is brilliantly located a short walk from the centre of town but still with the bush chalet feel - kangaroos on the front garden in the evening. The house is really well set up and appointed - we were two couples and the separation in the two wings was fantastic - it would also be great for two larger families with children.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
We loved our stay at Cape Illawara :)
And can see all our family enjoying it immensely next time we are in Margaret River.
The house had all the convenience of being close to town, and all the joyful feeling of being in the forest.

Excellent Family Holiday
A weeks break with our adult children and baby granddaughter - this house was perfect. The facilities were like a home away from home and location perfect - we could walk into town. The extras made this place a five star - plenty of toilet paper, detergent, gladwrap, glasses, cutlery, crockery and cooking facilities, videos, board games etc etc etc
This is the 2nd time we've stayed here and we'll be back. The hosts were very helpful and provided a highchair for the baby and the two wings to the house were perfect for our family (those without kids got to sleep in!!!)

Disappointing Experience, overpriced
Unfortunately we did not feel the description of the property was accurate. It is described as Architect Designed and Executive Home. We felt very much like we were in a youth hostel with signs on the external doors regarding not forcing and breaking them as they are problematic to open, signs on the heaters not to adjust the settings as it would through the power out subsequently we were cold. The bathrooms had not form of heating and were cold. Instructions to empty the dishwasher before leaving, a little impractical when you are leaving after having breakfast. Insufficient lighting for reading in the living area and bedrooms. Absolute minimum linen supplied, no spare towels, only one face washer per couple no hand towel for the laundry which is where the toilet is located. The house did have adequate kitchen crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils.

Space and comfort amid nature
We loved our stay at Cape Illawarra. Great peaceful setting amongst natural bush and kangaroos who visited each morning. Very spacious but cosy and clean. It was the perfect place to base ourselves for travel around the region - wineries, caves and beaches. Minutes from town for walk or drive.

Excellent Accommodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cape Illawarra. The owner is very helpful and promptly replied to any questions. The property is within walking distance to town , yet still in a private setting surrounded by natural bushland. The house itself is suitable for a couple or large groups/families with very comfortable beds and separate entertaining areas. We were very pleased with the kitchen as it is well-stocked with the essential items like sugar, salt, pepper etc. We loved it here and would definitely stay again.
