Could not have asked for more
Simone was a lovely host. She attended to my queries and ensured that all was answered. I had to call her during the night as we had booked both properties and we had a hard time retrieving the email due to the huge storm. When we arrived, we were very pleased with the property. It was exactly how it was described to us if not more. However, we experienced a power outage in the middle of the night which got us worried. But lights came back on before dawn. If you are from the tropics and arrive during winter, you might find the rooms cold as no heaters are provided. The only heater in my property was in the living room. However, it was warm under the sheets. I highly recommend Halls Head. Thank you Simone for the pleasant experience.

Perfect Australia Day Weekend
Hired the house for my husbands 30th over Australia Day and it very comfortably slept all 8 of us. The house location and quality exceeded our expectation and the beach opposite was pristine and uninterrupted. We did happen to stay during a slight heatwave so the fans in the bedrooms were not enough but the air conditioner down stairs was a welcome relief. Would definitely recommend, Simone was very easy to communicate with and I'm looking forward to returning.

Fantastic property
Outstanding beach front location with 150 degree panoramic ocean views from the upstairs balcony. The house was spacious and comfortable for a great winter getaway and still offered outstanding ocean views from inside, whilst the weather was stormy! Look forward to staying during the summer.

Fantastic location !
We had a great weekend and spent most of our time on the beautiful balcony or on the beach just across the road ! The only thing that would have improved our experience would be the addition of a small fridge in the upstairs kitchenette.

Comfortable and roomy
We had a girls weekend and we all found it very welcoming and comfortable. The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed walking across the road for a walk on the beach. Sunsets and cocktails were amazing on the balcony.

Great Views & Lovely Home
We really enjoyed our stay at the blue bay beach stay, it was able to accommodate all 10 adults, unfortunately it was a very short stay and if we were there for better circumstances we defiantly would of extended our stay. Great Location, Great Views and lovely home. The owners are also lovely to deal with when organizing the home. Defiantly recommend to any large groups

Great location for a large family
We had a lovely Christmas at Blue Bay Beach Stay - the location is perfect! Our holiday was marred after the event only by the owners trying to retain the bond because of finger prints on glass sliding doors and wrongly alleging we had taken a doona. Recommend a pre and post stay inspection if you pay a large bond.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello from Leon and Simone

We live in Fremantle Western Australia and have three children, two adult girls and one 15 year old son. We also have 2 very cute dogs a Cavoodle and a King Charles Cavalier. We love summer and as a family one of our favourite things to do is go to the beach with our boogie boards and surf boards to catch some waves. We love the out doors walking or cycling along the river or beach and going to cafe's for coffee and a bite to eat and love catching up with friends and family as often as we can. Traveling is another thing high on our list of likes as well as relaxing after a day at the beach with a glass of wine and beer.

Another highlight of summer is an evening stroll along the river with our kids and dogs.

We would love to host you and help you explore our wonderful area of the world.
