This popular beach home is cared for by the owners – who live locally. They will be available to meet and greet you on arrival and answer any questions that you have about the local area or home. Extensive overseas travel, and living in multicultural countries, has provided the owners with the extended knowledge and skills to meet those specific customer needs.

Whales - wines - beaches - galleries - caves - forests

Summer is magical. Relax on the balcony in the late afternoon watching the gentle breezes die out while the blue waters glass over. The sound of children playing on the beach drifts inland. For the more energetic a late afternoon swim after a days sight seeing and wine tasting is recommended.

Winter in Dunsborough is also very special - the crowds have gone, but the wineries, scenery and galleries remain. The fishing is even better, the golf courses less crowded, and in spring the whales arrive. The house is fully heated in winter. From late August to early December whales can often be seen from the balcony, but for an unforgettable experience take the whale watching tour which departs from nearby Quindalup. The wineries and beaches are available year round.

Local Attractions

Dunsborough, WAs top Tourism Town in 1999 and 2007, is the gateway to Cape Naturaliste.

Sheltered by the waters of Geographe Bay, Dunsborough has a lot to offer. Whale watching, sailing, canoeing, fishing, scuba diving, windsurfing, water skiing, horse riding, golf, wildlife parks, wineries and galleries featuring local arts & crafts. The Meelup National Park is 200m away, and this is the start of a coastal walking trail that goes all the way to Cape Naturaliste.

Beaches. The Dunsborough beaches in Geographe Bay have spectacular white sands, and are safe for children. For those more active just around the corner on the west coast are some of the world's best surfing beaches.
