What an amazing holiday home
Thanks for allowing us to stay again. We love this cosy shack. The best thing about it has to be the views and short walk to estuary and the boat ramp. 1 week down here feels like a month. Lovely quiet , friendly neighbourhood. We'll be back again.

Quick getaway
Beautiful and quiet location. Amazing veiws of the estuary from the balcony. House was very clean and would be great for a family with 4 single beds downstairs and master bedroom upstairs. My partner and I wished we could have stayed for longer.

This place is great, unfortunately while we were there there was a heatwave which is not ideal when there is no aircon! Other than that, the stay was perfect!

The linen and old pillows are disgusting to the point of leaving a day early due to my spouses health concerns due to constant coughing and wheezing with old pillows, update the linen NOW

Why they chose this property

I love our Crab Shack !... when we bought the house it was neglected and in original condition... the original owner, Connie, lived in the house until about 2010 after which it was rented, until we purchased it in 2014. We have replaced the outside verandah and installed a new kitchen. we have pulled out all the brown melamine furniture , lifted the nylon carpet and polished the jarrah floorboards. Add a coat of paint and some nice furniture and we have a place where you can relax , enjoy the views and environment just an hour out of Perth !

What makes this property unique

It's a home with personality ! No doubt some of the best views of both the Peel and Harvey Inlets...from just about every room ! Also only 200m away from the foreshore, Childrens play area and cafe .
