Dine under the shade, fire up the Webber, or relax on the loungers with a morning coffee or sundowner.
Unwind in the living room, a warm, stylish space with leather sofas, soft lighting, and a great spot for relaxing after a day of exploring.
A charming kitchen that is fully equipped and easy to use, with gas hob, dishwasher, and thoughtful touches for home cooking.
Tucked in a peaceful corner just minutes from town, with native trees all around.
The first queen bedroom is peaceful and bright with a soft, earthy palette—ideal for slow mornings and restful nights.

About this property

Higgins Hideaway—Central Cottage with Garden Oasis

A lovingly restored character cottage in the heart of Margaret River, Higgins Hideaway, where charming art deco touches meet modern-day comforts.

Higgins Hideaway, a lovingly restored character cottage in the heart of Margaret River, offers a charming blend of art deco touches and modern comforts. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a light-filled living area with warm timber floors, comfortable leather sofas, and reverse cycle air conditioning to keep you comfortable in every season. Settle in for a movie night, curl up with a book, or enjoy a glass of wine after a day of adventure.

The open-plan kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a large gas hob, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook up a feast. Enjoy meals around the indoor dining table or dine alfresco under the shade of the trees, listening to the gentle hum of nature.

Two queen bedrooms at the front of the house showcase original art deco details and are serviced by a sleek, newly renovated family bathroom with a deep soaking tub. The third bedroom, tucked toward the rear of the house, is perfect for a second couple or kids, with its own tranquil outlook.

Step outside into your private garden oasis—fully enclosed, lush, and leafy, with a large deck for entertaining and a Webber BBQ for laid-back summer evenings. After a day at the beach or on the bike trails, rinse off in the outdoor shower with both hot and cold water options.

There’s a washing machine and dryer, free parking both on-site and on the street, a powder room for your convenience, blackout blinds for lazy mornings, and a TV with a sound system for cosy evenings in.

Lovely 3 nights
Higgins hideaway is a classy 1920's bungalow. High ceilings and beautiful boards. Stunning garden, beautifully blooming with seasonal flowers.A tranquil spot yet easy walking distance to Margs shops or walk in forest around the river. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.Loved the tiny book library and being able to bring our well behaved Jack Russell. Thank you for sharing your character home with us.

Cape to Comfort
We were in Margaret River for the C2C off road bike ride, the house had everything required to accommodate us along with a fenced area for the fur kids. Higgins Hideaway is walking distance to top along with bush walks. It was relaxing way to end the day thank you.

Great location & lovely light filled house
We stayed four nights and enjoyed the lovely light filled rooms. The house is decorated beautifully, the kitchen well equipped, bathrooms clean & outdoor areas lovely to relax in. An easy walk to the main street & all of the cafes, restaurants, bakeries & shops. We would highly recommend this property Check in was fairly smooth, although the lockbox is a little stiff to open & unfortunately we didn't receive our complementary bottle of wine on arrival

Lovely stay in Margaret River
Great location and nice house. Easy walk to the main street and beautiful to be right near the bush. Good to have 3 separate rooms with double and queen beds. Nice garden and outdoor area, however, our inquisitive 2 terriers easily got through the front wire fencing. We weren’t able to let them roam free and had to keep them on leashes when outside. Overall, we think it is a lovely place for a small family to stay.

Came for the open studios and some quality time with the family - the house was warm and very comfortable, the gardens were lovely, very friendly and entertaining Birdlife. So many experiences were just a walk away. Our furry companion enjoyed the walk along the river… thank you to maintenance for tending to the gaps in the fence she discovered so promptly! The stay was everything we hoped for and more.

Higgins Hideaway
The house and contents were excellent. Outside furniture was very disappointing. Plastic chairs and table were poor. We were unable to eat out as the table and chairs were constantly covered in leaves and flowers. Not pleasant having leaves and flowers dropping on your food. The outside would have been the same standard as inside if there had been a couple of comfortable chairs to sit on just outside the back door on upper decking. Having said all that we had a great stay and would come back.
