Kookaburra Retreat | Dog Friendly | Forest Views

True reflection Positive: Location, Negative: The house finishes and furniture is tired, the kitchen utensils need replacing, the cookware needs replacing, and the awful smell in The kitchen cupboards needs to be addressed. Very expensive for 2 people even though we booked the entire place, one qoukd think you are provided a discount for the minimal usage

Fantastic beautiful home in an perfect setting. Quiet and peaceful. Positive: Wow, what a beautiful place! Check-in was at 3 PM, which gave us ample time to explore some local wineries before our arrival. Finding the retreat was easy as we drove down the long, quiet bush driveway, leading us to a charming cottage that felt like it was straight out of a Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. Upon entering, we were welcomed by the warm glow of lamps, creating an inviting atmosphere. The house is wonderfully appointed with quirky decor, and large cushions and blankets are thoughtfully placed throughout. The main area of the property is fenced, making it perfect for our dog, who could sleep inside comfortably with a bed placed near the door or in our bedroom. With three bathrooms, this retreat is ideal for a holiday with friends. My husband, a writer, found the perfect nook for his creativity. There's also a private TV room for those who prefer a quieter space to watch television. The owners have truly thought of everything, including an amazing oven that any cooking enthusiast would appreciate. One delightful challenge was deciding where to sit, as plenty of seating options are inside and around the verandah. The property is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with the soothing sounds of frogs adding to the ambience. It’s impeccably clean and comfortable, with windows so clear that you feel one with the outdoors. I can definitely see myself returning to this idyllic location a few more times! Negative: Having to go home at the end of our stay.

Positive: This was a great home for us during our stay in Margaret River! Lots of character and very homely. It has a well equipped kitchen for those that enjoy cooking with sharpe knives, good pots and pans and even a Nespresso machine. The showers were lovely and hot with nice pressure, and there's a beautiful deck to enjoy the birds and nature. I'm missing enjoying my morning coffee out there now I'm back to the city! The location was excellent, only a short 5 minute drive into town and some great wineries to enjoy close to home. Negative: I will say the beds are due for an upgrade and not very comfortable, this was the overall consensus between each of the rooms.

Lovely spot, surrounded by bush with a great house with lots of space to stay in. Great for families and their dog!
