Discovery cottage

Beautiful, well situated property amongst the pepper trees.Very clean and tidy inside, bathroom and kitchen modern and bedrooms are well furnished, would suggest that the front deck could do with sanding as it is very weathered. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Great location

Excellent location and nice &quiet. Well equipped and with a great fireplace and a nice long BBQ table outside. However the property was advertised as a 2 bathroom property and is only a one bathroom with an extra toilet. Also the 3rd bedroom is a converted sleepout and quite cold overnight.

Fabulous location

Great home for 2 families to stay for a Bayside holiday without the price tag of others at the location. Highly recommend. Note however, the second main bedroom has direct access outside or walk through the kids room. 2 x toilets is great withg 8 of us staying. Easy walk to the bay for a swim anytime due to milder weather compared to Perth.

Wonderful location

Perfect location for short walk to stunning beach, and suited location of our wedding venue. Could have done with a few more details on line of what was provided, ie iron and board. Only criticism is blankets and doona covers were badly stained. We took our own sheets and towels. Location was fabulous.

Disliked: Communication
Linen wasn’t included, had to pay extra which I chose but ended up being a pain to have to make beds after a long drive and pack up again when leaving. No fire wood available to use for the fire place. No tea or coffee available either which isn’t very welcoming after a long drive and no shop in eagle bay to get some easily. Nice and spacious though and close to beach, good for families.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. The property is an older and comfortable, functional and in a good location. It was a good base for exploring this corner. Possibly a little costly for a couple, but as it sleeps 8, cost/person could be ok!
