About this property

This 1 bedroom studio is only a 7 minute walk to the beach and is set on an acre of beautiful native bushland which it shares with a second residence. Both private residences have uninterrupted ocean views across Eagle Bay, and the Cape Naturaliste National Park – the ultimate escape for a romantic holiday.

Lounge on the balcony with a glass of local wine and gaze at the ocean after a hard day of strolling along the beach and wine tasting at Wise Winery or Eagle Bay Brewery, both located just a 3 minute drive away.

This property is perfect for a couples getaway. Fitted with quality furnishings, reverse cycle air conditioning in the living area (Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker, and WIFI ) and a kitchenette adequately equipped for 2 people (countertop toaster oven, two burner hotplate, microwave, full size fridge/freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster).

The separate bedroom has a queen bed with fresh linen and bath towels supplied. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, vanity and an under bench washing machine which is helpful for those staying a little longer (separate toilet).

The large deck area includes an electric Weber BBQ, dining table and timber li-lo chairs to create a relaxed atmosphere and enhances the romantic mood. You will not want to go home after experiencing this amazing vacation.

Please note: the studio is situated on a shared property with the owners' residence. Every effort is made to give guests as much privacy as possible; the owners are extremely respectful of guest privacy. The main house does not overlook the interior of the studio whatsoever, however the balcony is visible from the home. Access is via a flight of approx. 20 external wooden stairs.

NB **THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR STUDENT/ LEAVER BOOKINGS**

All linen is provided (excl. beach towels). All of our accommodation is fully self-catered, and as a courtesy we provide a basic starter pack for each stay, including: soap, toilet rolls, tea, coffee & sugar, basic cleaning products, and some cooking essentials (oil, salt & pepper). We provide these items to help kick-start your holiday in a stress-free way, but guests are responsible for the ongoing supply of anything they should require beyond the starter pack provided.

We will be back!

We had an excellent stay at this awesome little property and will definitely return for future trips. Beautiful views of the ocean, short walk to Eagle Bay Beach, great location in general. My only improvement suggestion would be to install a dishwasher, it wasn't a cheap rate to stay and it would have been nicer not to be hand washing everything we used.

kitchen facilities

It was never stated that there was no oven. The electric stove top only 1 burner worked. Did not state that you had to go up quite a large staircase to get in. No instructions for how the video machine and tv worked. A two seater for a couch and no shade for the back balcony Other then that it had a beautiful view of the ocean and very quiet and the bed was very comfortable

View is everything

Of course the position is great, and thats why this flat will go on being rented whatever the feedback. But the interior is a bit underwhelming. Having so many notices taped up on the wall and fridge gives an unwelcoming and down-market vibe. It also needs a better sunshade arrangement - an awning would make the terrace much more useable than with the spindly umbrella, and would do the place more justice.

Lovely tranquil location with great view

Easy to find, good clear instructions. The owners next door were delightful. We only saw them briefly and chatted with them and their lovely dog. They have the most beautiful garden to look over and walk through. The unit has wonderful views. The kitchen is basic but fully functional. The lounge chairs aren’t very comfortable but we managed ok. The bed mattress is great but unfortunately the wooden frame creaks a lot on the window side. The owners were very helpful as when we had a power cut one evening they brought over a solar powered lamp. It would be helpful if some provision is made for such occurrences as apparently power cuts are not uncommon in the busy summer period. It only lasted about an hour but there were no working torches. The positives were more than the negatives and we did love Eagle Bay and would happily return if on another visit from the UK.

For the view

You're paying for the view, and what a view. The property is a lightweight structure in above average condition, accessed by external stairs, above the owners garage, approximately 6m offset from their house. Access is via external timber stairs onto an upper deck. The accommodation is situated amongst the owners spectacular gardens. Visual privacy is more than adequate, certainly more than a hotel or adjoined structure. Acoustically, as the rental sits on top of the garage, you can certainly hear it when the owners park, but that was limited to once or twice a day and was not bothersome or intrusive. The owners are clearly conscious of personal space and did not intrude or pry in any way, and were very nice. They have a lovely dog, which we barely saw, which cannot enter the entry stairs to the unit, as there is a gate. The inside of the rental is exceptionally clean. The bed and bedding are high quality and very clean, though the doona was extremely warm, with limited alternatives. There is reverse cycle AC unit in the living section only, and air circulation to the bedroom was limited. In winter this was more than adequate, but in summer, I'm not sure. The remote is kind of broken (or perhaps running out of batteries), and so it was locked to 25C. Towels in the bathroom were great, and the hot water was faultless. There is a full fridge and freezer (not a bar fridge), and a Nespresso machine, complete with some pods as well as tea, which is nice. The oven is a counter top electric one, not a 600mm built in, which may affect people planning to cook anything large. The furniture is fine, mostly an assortment of cost effective and eclectic pieces. The lounge is a tiny love seat, which could be bigger, the chairs wicker or plastic and are outdoor furniture so not the most comfortable. Given the price range, easily comparable to 5 star hotels (minus the view), the furniture could use an update in style, size and comfort. TV was fine, though it has terrible sounds, though with that view, you likely won't turn it on. A bluetooth speaker is included which is nice. The deck is large and there are chairs and am umbrella, but we didn't use either due to the weather. You pay for the views, and you get that in spades. Everything else is fine and comfortable - we will likely return.

There is no mention that the cottage is right next door to the owner’s home giving zero privacy. The toilet facing into the bedroom is very awkward. I felt the property is totally over priced for what you get.
