    My one quibble was that I wish it had been clearer in the listing that this is not a freestanding house, rather an apartment in the ground floor of a house, with another dwelling above. I only found this information after digging through the reviews and on a secondary tab to the main property listing. .We could hear everything, footsteps, talking, children running and shouting, and dogs barking all around us. I wouldn't recommend this as a place for peace and quiet, but if you're using it as a base to explore the area, like we did, then it would be fine.

    Overall we had a lovely stay. Rachel was attentive and helpful as a host. The location is great and the apartment was well equipped for our stay.

    It was perfect location, 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach. We were in the area for a friends wedding which was 5 minute walk away. Ideal location for us. Great information pack about the area too.

    The master bed was a tad creaky.

    Beautiful home made with raw WA materials like sandstone, slate, jarrah, etc. Comfy, quiet and stylish, with a beach feel, a Mediterranean courtyard, and a lovely large leather couch to lounge on. Perfect for a small family or two couples wanting to eat in occasionally. It’s thought of everything, including night lights, eco-friendly laundry and dish detergents, an excellent home-made tourist guide/manual, and well equipped kitchen including olive oil, salt and pepper. Short stroll to the beach and cafe, and a small drive to Margs central. You can hear the waves and sea breeze at night.

    1. One of the rooms was smelling of mold 2. The beds made noises when moving during the night 3. There was a family in the upper floor, and we could hear every step and conversation 4. It's far away from any cafe or market. You need car for everything

    Nice house, for both family or romantic couple. There are plenty of space, 2 rooms, nice kitchen and yard.

    No aircon unit. No issues with overheating this time of year, but I don't know how it'd fair in the middle of summer.

    A free bottle of red wine was a pleasant surprise. The decor and furnishing we're very well done.

    the only thing was the second bedroom didn’t have any sheets or pillow cases and there were no spare sheets in the cupboard! It was a girls trip (not a couple) so the second bedroom was used

    beautiful set up and location! It had a homey feel to it and was a very comfortable stay overall

    The Accommodation is on the bottom floor and occasionally heard footsteps and voices from above but it was minor and generally nice and quiet

    Great quiet location. Clean and comfortable accommodation. It was very hot in Prevelly when we were there, so no air-conditioning was a small critique.

    living with a family and dog upstairs got tiresome - inevitable noise was intrusive at times and disrupted sleep. couldn’t get the TV system to change channels, which was annoying. stove top is ancient, no markings and inefficient.

    nice apartment; private garden was a bonus; property was clean, well stocked; owner facilitated early checkin on rainy day.
