Terrific spot in the trees
We loved staying here. The house is in a lovely forest of trees full of kangaroos and bird life but 5 minutes from town. Clean, quiet, and everything you need for a relaxing stay. I wish I’d booked a week it was so good. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful property in lovely area
Geri was communicative and attentive without being overbearing or intrusive. The property was lovely and clean - exactly as pictured on the site. We didn’t end up needing the other half but the side we stayed in was comfortable and well equipped for all our needs. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone.

A wonderful holiday home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cape Illawarra, it had everything we needed to explore the local Margaret River region and hunker down in the warm at the end of each day. We spent most of our time in the main living area of the house, which was well appointed and had private views out across the bush setting in every direction. Everything was easy, great hosts, highly recommended.

Beautiful trees... and kangaroos
We had a wonderful stay here. The house was large, modern and very clean. But the highlight was the wonderful bush outside and the visiting kangaroos. Very special! Thanks Geri and Greg.

High quality house in a beautiful bush setting
Cape Illawarra is an excellent place to stay. It is kept very clean with high quality furniture and fittings; all well looked after. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need should you decide to eat in. The bush setting is perfect and in a quiet neighbourhood. Communication with the owners was very good - clear, prompt and efficient. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and had no complaints (other than that our stay wasn't long enough).
