Fantastic getaway
We stay here 10 years ago when grand kids were just born. To take them back was amazing. They loved the place and learnt to kayak, swim in the estuary, crab and catch fish. Was a relaxing weekend away. The house itself was clean and had everything we needed. Really recommend Dot's home.

Relaxing and peaceful
Lovely big home clean and tidy when checking in. house was fabulous, the deck was the best spot! The only negative would be the driveway/parking. Very tight and a squeeze parking cars in the narrow driveway & carport. The towels on beds up stairs were folded but quite wet still.. all in all would recommend.

Very comfortable for our group of nine aged 70 + friends. We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed the balcony over the Canal for meals and drinks. We also had a pair of swans with 4 big cygnets visiting us each day. Most enjoyable stay especially in December as we also were able to go on the Christmas lights cruise.

My elderly sisters and other family found this property perfect for our needs. The sun deck was the most popular spot as we spent a lot of time watching swans pelicans and other birds. No dolphins but we did enjoy our lunch cruise one day where the dolphins put on a show. Great stay in the lovely city of Mandurah

Stay at 5 Donnelly Garens
The property was beautiful and well appointed; however, the cleanliness was questionable. The previous occupants had left the property in a very dirty state, meaning the cleaners were struggling to have the property cleaned in time for our check in. Our guests were arriving at 2.00 and the floors were still being mopped, the bins needed taking out, and the fridge cleaned. I ended up cleaning out the fridge, thus freeing up the cleaners to complete the floors etc. The fridge was in an awful state, necessitating me having to scrub the spilt sticky liquid from the bottom of the fridge. When we went to use the BBQ, my husband needed to spend an hour cleaning off the burnt, built up food from previous uses. This was so much so, that I made a trip home to our house, nearby to grab the electric frypan to cook in. The Lazy Susan on the outside table had a large buildup of crumbs, so it wouldn't rotate. We rectified these issues, including cleaning out the bins in the kitchen before putting in bin liners. The cleaners did their best but obviously didn't have enough time to clean from the previous occupants. This didn't detract from our enjoyment of the property, however when you are spending good money, it was quite unacceptable. Maybe there should be greater expectations for guests to leave the property in a better state when they depart.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Feb 2023
What a shame that Carols group had such a disappointing experience at the start of their stay. We're happy to say that the majority of our guests thoughtfully leave the property in a great condition. With a same day checkout/checkin our cleaners did the best they could in the short time they had, as they always do. Feedback is always appreciated and we will look for ways to overcome these occasional potential challenges to ensure our guests arrive to an immaculate property.

Luxury Canal Stay.
Very well presented 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home. It was a pleasure for our group of over 70's to enjoy. The weather was great and we spent a good deal of our time on the balcony overlooking the canal. Dolphins and black swans also added to the stay. We would love to come back again.

Fabulous house with a deck to die for!
Just back from a 2 night weekend stay with 4 friends at this stunning property, on the canals in Mandurah. The house was impeccable with 5 separate bed rooms, 2 lounge areas and a divine view and space on the deck. We didn’t want to leave to go sightseeing as the house was so comfortable and bright. Dot was very obliging and easy to deal with too. Highly recommend!

A humble family vacation
It was the perfect house to stay with my family to get away for a few days. The property is well layed out and big enough for a family of all ages. It's just a stones throw from town which is perfect to walk in. What makes this place spectacular is the ambience of being on the river, a great way to spend the day soaking up the sunshine.

We as a group have stayed in numerous holiday rentals and have found this home to be a place for relaxation and socialising on the wonderful balcony. Having said this we did have a small issue with the back neighbour burning wood which smoked us out every evening.

Great house! Great location!
We were a group of nine adults so the room configuration was perfect. The house was tastefully decorated and well kept/clean. Would definitely recommend. We could walk into town in about 20 mins and Mandurah Forum was about a five min. drive. Very little in the way of bathroom products etc. so take your own.

Weekend Chill Out
My friends and I (a group of 8 women) had a wonderful 3 night stay at this property. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend and all we had to take were food, drinks and clothes. The large deck with shade sails overlooking the water is fantastic. There was more than enough seating inside and the 3 bathrooms were such a bonus. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to just chill out. Will book for next year.

Loved the house from the minute we walked in the door. The deck overlooking the canal was STUNNING. A very functional layout loved the quality fit out. The cleanliness was outstanding. Plenty of room for all my family, extra TV upstairs was great. Loved cooking in the kitchen. Last but most important beds were comfy.
