Peaceful cottage

It’s often difficult to find quality accommodation that allows pets but this cottage was perfect for both us and our dogs. Directly across the road from the beach with a walking path along the shore that’s all dog friendly. It’s a beautiful, peaceful location. The cottage was very comfortable and we appreciated the modern renovations inside, especially the enormous bath. Having the choice of a wood fire or heat pump is great. Highly recommend.

Another Perfect Stay

This is our second time and we cannot fault the property. We only wish we could visit more often and will definitely be back. The perfect location by the beach, wonderful views, a beautifully appointed cottage and a backyard our dogs adore.

Great place to explore Esperance Bay and surrounds.

We wanted a place to use our kayak to explore the bay and river. We found it at Castaway! Also the setup/yard was perfect for our dog.

Tranquil cottage

Enjoyed a break at the delightful, pet friendly Castaway Cottage - on the esplanade, near beautiful beaches, many birds, differing walking areas for our dog. Lovely treats provided thank you - fresh loaf, jams, coffee, apples and lemons.

Cosy & Quiet

Beautifully appointed house directly across from the beach. The wood heater kept us warm & cosy at night & the floor heating in the bathroom was a highlight for our 12 year old daughter. It had everything we wanted & more! Highly recommend.

Perfect house in a perfect location.

This has to be one of our most enjoyable weekends away. A beautifully maintained cottage with lights and heaters on greeting us on arrival. The setup is perfect for couples but plenty of room for a family and pets. Bathroom and kitchen facilities were excellent and the bed was just the way we like it. The cottage is perfectly located for views and for making the most of the adjacent beach. We could not fault our stay and look forward to returning.

What a great cottage!

What a wonderful stay we had at Castaway Cottage. It is absolutely perfect for humans and dogs especially, with a perfectly fenced yard. Thank you for allowing us to have our dogs with us, the polished floorboards throughout made it perfect for the pets and very easy to clean. The huge bath was a bonus. Beautiful linen throughout. What can you say about the view? Absolutely perfect, just across the road from the beach. Such a perfect stay, we will definitely be back. Thank you!
