Smallest room there, we where the only people staying. I have stayed by myself previously and was very disappointed

The location was great

Stayed in August 2025

Wish they had a little kitchen facility but we knew that before booking, so can’t really complain. Decent little fridge, microwave & kettle if you just want the basics. The window shutters were a bit too large for the space and you needed to move the bed if you wanted to open them. The ones in the bathroom too would hit the tap if you tried to open it but at least the blinds worked well

The location was fabulous, centrally located & close to most hotspots. Felt very safe & was easy to find. Cute coffee shop walking distance & another 5 minutes away. The room was snug & cozy with good facilities (and a great hot shower!) Bed was super comfy & sheets were clean. The AC/heater was also great.

It was a bit small and we could hear possums in the roof at night

OMG the couch was dreadful, it was not possible to sit on it, cushions collapsed and was extremely uncomfy. Not that we wanted to use it, but it should at least be suitable for a quick relax before heading out again. That was the only complaint!

Excellent location, easy to find

Bathroom has a smell, & wasn't too comfortable with the bathroom corridor leads to the bed head initially.

Missed a toaster.

The room was spacious and very clean, with a large, comfortable bed. Check-in was smooth, the facilities were great, and the view was beautiful.

Air conditioning unit was not big enough for the area and repeatedly turned itself off. The shower head was very loose, possibly rusted through and did not spray water correctly.

Perfect location for exploring wineries in the area.

It was lovely and quiet ,I would definitely return. Great location a lovely little get away .

Some of the furniture needs updating, especially the sofa. Some sound from the upstairs room as it is wooden floors, but not really a problem.

Great location, close to Smiths Beach, Yallingup Gallery and loads of wineries. Also close to Dunsborough for shopping. we had a one bedroom apartment on ground floor with lovely patio overlooking the gardens and ponds, Heaps of birdlife. Property is self check in but we met the owner around the grounds. Older lodge style building but units are gradually being done up. Ours had good bathroom, comfy bed and new kitchenette fittings. TV was set up with streaming services, and the wifi was great. Right next door to Lavender Tea rooms, for light meals and Devonshire teas all day, and on other side was Barnyard restaurant and winery. Excellent food and service for breakfast or lunch. Really enjoyed our restful 4 day stay.

Exhaust fan too loud

Quiet

I get why they have old style step in & out shower in bath. But it is dangerous. If you have an upstairs room, the drying of clothes is difficult.

Location is excellent. 5 minutes from everything Check in is seamless.

Nothing it was great however when asked to do the dishes I hope they are reclined before the next guest

It was just what we needed and it felt like we were in a fairy tale cottage

The light on the verandah wasn't working.

The room we stayed in was really open and comfortable and perfect location.

Whilst cleverly designed to take up as little space as possible, the "kitchen facilities" were just a little too cramped, all (including a tiny fridge, and a microwave) being located in a small cupboard with double, louvred doors, one of which would not stay open, making it awkward to access. Also, I wasn't very keen on having to use the bathroom basin adjacent to the toilet to wash dishes and cutlery; I doubt it would be allowed (on health grounds) in a residential home. The lack of a top sheet on the bed. The bed linen was of beautiful quality, but the weather was too warm to use the doona but not comfortable enough to sleep with no covering, and I didn't want to keep the air-conditioning running all night. The bathroom mirror is located at one end of the basin unit and perpendicular to it, which makes it not really usable for females wanting to apply make-up, as one is obliged to stand about a metre away. However, it is not fixed to the wall, but hangs, so I was able to move it (but felt a bit guilty for doing so) and place it behind the taps, although that was not ideal as I had to bend down in order to see myself in it. The lack of even a small table, with a chair, to use for meals. Having to use the coffee table was very uncomfortable. Taking luggage up the stairs was very difficult (but I am elderly; perhaps younger people don't struggle), as they are quite narrow and, rather than having a landing half-way up, simply turn quite sharply. Despite the gorgeous view, in future I would ask for a ground floor room. Being able to hear the normal conversations of people in nearby rooms, although they were not unreasonably noisy people; I don't know what the owners can do to mitigate this. The self check-in, and general lack of staff to consult. I couldn't open the key box when I arrived, because I didn't use enough force to operate the mechanism. Luckily, as I was struggling, a young couple exiting helped me out.

The view - I had an upstairs room, with a lovely outlook in two directions, overlooking both garden and bushland. The tree immediately outside one window, just centimetres away, contained a bird's nest, but I never got a glimpse of its owner. The room itself was quite spacious and had character, with a pitched ceiling, and was not just a standard, stark square, which was visually very appealing. It also had a safe, which was an unexpected bonus. The air-conditioning was very effective, and very quickly brought the room temperature to a comfortable level. The location - it's just 11 kms from Dunsborough, so far enough from the "hustle and bustle" of all the tourist traffic, but close enough to make it very convenient. Good for short stay.

The location was great. It's only 5 minutes from Yallingup beach and general store, and a good spot to stay to explore the region. I didn't realise how close it is to the Barnyard1978, which offers some of the most delicious food in the area and it's literally next door. Also next door is the quaint Cape Lavender Teahouse. Famous for it's scones! My ground floor room was very spacious and comfortable and I loved having a little verandah and outlook to the big and beautiful garden.

No seperate kitchen sink to do dishes but this didn’t matter.

Handy to all activities . Lovely having the Lavender Tea House beside it . They do a great Devonshire Tea . This is a series of small quaint apartments within one building which is self contained. There is a lovely garden around it and a winery at the back. We were located at the back and it was very quiet.

The water - bore water tasted and felt like rusty nails.

Superb location and seamless access

Although we received text messages from the management, I didn't realise this was an unmanned reception. I know it was the Christmas season but we saw no staff at all during our week long stay and it felt very impersonal and not as welcoming as a lodge evokes. It is not really suitable for a family and although it is nice to be away from the crowds, it is noisy if you are the back of the building with traffic from the road junction, upstairs neighbours and visitors to the other eateries. The wifi was patchy and the TV reception was lagging and unwatchable. We enjoyed our stay due to the location near to the beaches but need to be mindful of expectations.

The location was great being close to Smith's beach and at the crossroads to Caves Road. The lodge was quaint and the garden at the back was pleasant to sit out at. There were food venues close by.

It was noisey the people staying above us sounded like they were moving house,the internet kept dropping out with the tv.

Location was great with the Lavender tea house and the Barnyard being next door .The bed was comfortable,the shower was good.
