Busselton River Cottage

It was lovely but the property needs some attention.

✓ Loved the character but of course with ‘character’ comes with imperfections.

✗ Too cold. Bedrooms were freezing at night and the reverse cycle air conditioners in them didn’t take the chill off at all. One of us was up in the early hours and huddled in front of the gas fire in the lounge trying to get warm. Mattress in large bedroom needs replacing. Would’ve loved a mop and bucket to use in the bathroom. It is a very generous size and perfect for disabled. However the water runs everywhere. The drain does net seem to take it away fast enough. Water constantly pools outside the shower recess metal strip photo shows 12 hours later. Have a feeling there is an underground leak.

It was ok but on the expensive side for the quality

✓ Location was great

✗ Poor furniture. Property needs an update. Looked tired and paint was badly done. Some power points need updating some light switches didn’t seem to do anything.

Fabulous

Cosy cottage close to town

✓ This is a cute little cottage with lovely views of the river and an easy walk to the Main Street and Busselton foreshore. Would really suit a family group as all of the bedrooms are right next to each other, and there is a big backyard for kids. Bathroom and kitchen have been renovated and are lovely. Lounge room is comfy and a great place to hang out and enjoy the river views. Has a disability ramp and disability-friendly shower and toilet.

✗ Could use a bit of TLC. Mattress in main bedroom was old and saggy (though 2nd double bed had a fairly new one) and a few light bulbs were blown. The unfortunate downside of being so close to town is that there is a bit of noise. One of the nearby pubs has a rooftop bar which played loud music late into the night on Friday night, and the warehouse at the back loaded trucks in the early hours of one morning. A little ironic given the property has a strict “no party after 10pm” rule to avoid disturbing the neighbours 😏

ideal distance from jetty,if one wants to walk, the river across the road was nice to look out onto.

✓ the position of the place

✗ the front and back door locks need looking at. During the cooler weather better doonas are needed. Otherwise the place is lovely

Pleasant

Not best value for money.

✓ Pleasant location.

✗ Property and furniture is very tired. Also house cold. Bathroom would benefit from some sort of heating.
