Relaxing and comfortable stay
This was our anniversary celebration and just wanted a restful and relaxing beachcation, we loved the house very comfortable large and spacious. We don’t have a dog but what a great place if you did have pets, walk to the beach and into Dunsborough. Very easy checkin process, house is so welcoming and easy to find. It is quiet which is exactly what we were looking for. We only stayed the weekend and we’re expected to take out the trash which was full, I thought that request was an unfair ask but we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your space with us, would definitely stay again.

Retriever Retreat
A quaint cottage style property; with quirky, inspirational quotes dotted throughout the house. Super quiet, everything we needed at the property, apart from a dishwasher! Short walk to the beach and quick bike ride into town. Lovely property.

Good location, lovely, well-appointed holiday home.
We really enjoyed our stay at Retriever Retreat. The home was in a great location being on a quiet street in Old Dunsborough; 5-7 minutes walk to the beach and about a 15-20 minute walk into town. The home is designated "pet friendly" and was really well set up for our dog with tiled floors throughout and a secure back yard, fully enclosed with a colorbond fence. There were dog beds and bowls at the home, though we had already brought our own with us. The house was exceptionally clean (you would not know it was "pet friendly"), light and airy with all the doors having security screening. We found it to be very well appointed compared to many other homes we have rented. The kitchen pantry was full of various condiments, olive oil and coffee with a sign reading "Take what you need, replace what you feel" which was a nice touch- I would presume the availability of condiments would be entirely dependent on who had been there before you. There was also a "welcome" bottle of wine from a local vineyard. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, bakeware, crockery and cutlery so I found I was able to cook everything I ordinarily would at home. There was also a 4-burner bbq with 2 full gas bottles outside. The home had wifi, and a decent entertainment system that allowed you to watch streaming TV and blu-ray or use the Sonos system. The home is a really nice to relax both inside and out. We would definitely return in the future and recommend it to anyone else, with or without pets.
