Gypsy Cottage - a luxurious hideaway

Gypsy Cottage offers short-stay accommodation with all the luxuries of living away from home. Environmentally friendly products are used to clean the Cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, microwave, refrigerator and everything that you would need for home fare. A selection of tea plus plunger-style coffee is available and fresh milk is provided for your convenience on arrival.

The Cottage has a private entrance down the side of the main house where guests can come and go at their leisure. Enjoy relaxing in a private outdoor sitting area or the comfortable indoor living area which is equipped with TV, DVD, internet access, stereo and a 3-seater sofa which can fold down into a large double bed. The bathroom includes a washing machine with your own private clothes line.

Apart from a small step at the entrance of the cottage, the inside of the Cottage is on one level and suitable for elderly people or anyone who doesn't like stairs.

Please note that I am happy to accept bookings of 2 nights minimum but request that guests pay a surcharge of $50 towards cleaning and laundering costs.

A bond is not required but guests are asked to leave the Cottage in a reasonably clean condition where guests will be responsible for any malicious damage or theft.

Gypsy Cottage has been tastefully decorated with Anna Chandler 's range of homewares and art work. Anna is a local Perth artist who uses vibrant colours in her inspiring designs which include textiles, ceramics and other gift ware. (Guests receive 10% discount if they want to buy any of the Anna Chandler range).

Sneaky Break Away
We thoroughly enjoyed our break at Gypsy Cottage. Close to some beautiful cafe's and restaurants. Fremantle City Centre was a lovely stroll. Property was well presented inside and out. Kitchen was stocked with some homewares from a local artist which was a lovely touch. I have recommended the cottage to friends and we will be back to enjoy another stay real soon,

Great place, inside and out
We stayed 5 nights mid November. The apartment is clean, well decorated and comfy. Would highly recommend the place to any couple wanting a private space to relax, nice outside area. Good washing machine and good outside drying facility. It is a little walk to the centre of town but well worth the hike. There is a free bus but it stops running at 630. There is a good Grocer around the corner and several good eating establishments near by. I'd recommend the Friday market for fresh fruits and veggies.

Excellent property, let down by poor communication
I agree with the previous reviewers on the quality of the property.  It is in a great location, well appointed and very comfortable. It was the poor communication prior to our arrival that left us disappointed (including being unable to contact the owner to confirm that our deposit had been received, then being questioned about whether we had paid the deposit and final payment when both were paid on schedule). A list of instructions about how things work in the cottage would have been useful (eg evaporative air con and gas oven)

Gypsy Cottage is a little gem in South Freo hidden away on a quiet street with it's own entrance and lots of privacy.I loved staying in the 100% fully self-contained cottage that even included lovely ground coffee for the French press. Since there was a heat wave when I arrived, I especially appreciated the very efficient inbuilt air con!I highly recommend Gypsy Cottage.
