Shabby,very bacic setup, supposed to be dog friendly backyard and the gate fell over dog's got out.
The only and i mean only thing going for this property was its location. The rest was just awful didn’t want to touch anything in the house all stained and grotty chairs and pillows. If we hadn't travelled so far woulld not have stayed.

Some TLC needed.
Pleasant stay, in a good location close to shops. Well equipped home clean spacious bathroom comfy beds however requires some serious cleaning in kitchen especially cupboards.Could not use cupboard due to mice dropping inside and doors were dirty,had to keep food items in our closed bags. Mouse found roaming in bedroom at night.! Dinning chairs unstable /hazard of collapsing. Back sliding door can not be closed needs fixing and also back gate needs securing off its hinges.

The smell from the air conditioner and cleanliness was a total let down.
We were booked for 3 nights but left after 2 as the terrible smell of a dead mouse coming from the air conditioner was so bad I was feeling sick. As we arrived Christmas eve, it seemed pointless contacting the property manager to have the problem fixed over Christmas as we would have been gone by the time an Electrician was available, plus the smell would have lingered another day or two after the mouse was removed. I could smell this horrid stink as soon as I put my foot in the front door so surely previous tenants and the cleaner noticed it. We couldn’t sit out the back as the chairs were too dirty and would have needed a hard scrub to remove the built up dust/dirt. On arrival there was a dirty cigarette butt in the ash tray which is off putting for non smokers and the toilet floor was dirty and had not been swept or washed. The house itself is what we expected, the location is fantastic, however the cleanliness and smell from the air-conditioner was a total let down.

This is a fabulous spot for rest, relaxation and recreation. An older style chalet, but has everything you could possibly want including a lovely spa bath. Very clean and tidy, would definitely recommend 😊

You get what you pay for
Nice and tidy beach house, close to everything beach, shops etc.A few things could be improved. There were only 2 bath towels for 5 of us to use so extra linen would be good. The couch is a bit small so could do with another 2 seater. The double bed mattress was lumpy and the bed very squeaky might be time for a new one. The toaster needs replacing as it kept tripping the electricity when in use. Spa bath and hot water were a real feature. Would stay again as price affordable for budget accommodation .

Lazy beach adventure
Lovely clean home. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and happy. Was chilly weather but the reverse cycle ac kept us toasty. The spa was a welcome relaxation after a day of exploring all Jurien Bay has to offer. Beautiful beaches, beautiful lookouts over land & sea, kind friendly people and all the shops you need are just over the road. Very convenient. Thank you

Lovely 'After-Easter' Break
This is the third time we have stayed here in the last couple of years or so, which speaks for itself. Our dog, Bruno had a wonderful time too! Generally no problems at all, very happy with everything. Thank you Nessa.. we'll be back!

Good Location
The property is well located with shops just across the road. It was clean and tidy and ready for us on arrival. Just needed new tap washers as the taps kept dripping. Most annoying. Also the dead cockroaches on the skylight could do with removing as they are a bit off putting But apart from those two items the property is great and you could have a wonderful family holiday here.
