Lodge

Well managed for a non govt. service that has low cost rent and helps a lot of vulnerable and homeless people.

Cape Lodge is a quality destination if you want something special. Situated on Caves Road, between Yallingup and Cowaramup, this property has wonderful facilities, food and is close to many other local attractions, wineries and activities. Their staff are top class and provide wonderful and friendly service. If you are looking for something special you will find this hard to beat.

Stayed there this weekend. Beautiful location with panoramic views over the inlet in immaculately kept gardens. Room was spacious with very high quality finishings. The owner was lovely and accommodating, and the breakfast was simple luxury. Excellent location with Ocean and Lights Beaches and the town nearby. Would highly recommend.

We just wanted some where peaceful but not to far from home, we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary and my husbands birthday, Possum Creek Lodge was just the place, surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and some amazing fauna, and the price was extremely responsible as well as only 3mins by car to the local Kalamunda CBD.We choose the only room with a spa & it far outweighed our expectations, clean,homely with an old world charm.Thank you Chris and Di (proprietors) for a wonderful experience, we would highly recommend Possum Creek Lodge xxxx

We booked Rosella Cottage for three nights. We arrived mid afternoon and found the cottage to be suffocatingly hot. Granted it was a hot day but windows in the cottage had been left wide open which of course let the heat in. We located the air conditioner and turned it on to cool the place down before the rest of the party arrived. We looked for air con units in the three bedrooms but there were none. When accommodation is advertised as having reverse cycle air conditioning I think the average person would think the whole cottage would be air conditioned. Gradually the two bedrooms closest to the air-con cooled off but it took till mid evening for enough cool air to float through to the back bedroom.Two of the group took their shoes off upon arrival and soon found the soles of their feet were becoming very dirty. The floor may possibly have been swept or vacuumed before our arrival but I feel sure it had not been mopped. I visited Joanne, the owner and mentioned the heat in the cottage and the floor being dirty. I asked her for a mop and some cleaning solution so I could mop the living area. Joanne is very friendly and helpful so of course she obliged. She suggested opening doors and windows to cool the place off. I mentioned the peacocks might come in the doors and she said they were opportunistic . We found this to be true.Opening doors and windows might seem a simple thing to do and it would have helped a lot as afternoon turned into evening and the outside temperature cooled off. However flyscreens on doors and windows were minimal and those that were there were ineffective. Apart from the kitchen window all other windows were without fly screens. There were two sliding doors, one at the front entry and one in the back bedroom. The front flyscreen was torn along the edges and in a fragile state. The back bedroom door didn’t have a flyscreen at all. We were not at all keen to have the cottage full of mosquitoes or peacocks so the doors and windows had to remain closed.The two front bedrooms were presentable. However the back bedroom was not good. It was basically a narrow verandah that had been poorly closed in to make the cottage bigger. It was not at all suitable for paying guests. There was one tiny window which you couldn’t see out of unless you stood up. There was the sliding door onto a small concreted area at the back. This was a room with two beds in it. The room was so narrow that you couldn’t reach the second bed unless you walked sideways around the end of the first bed. There was a floor fan that helped move the air but it was not the sort of room you would pay to stay in. The single bed in that room needs looking at because it sinks in the middle.For a balanced review I want to add l the good things about Kerriley. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything needed was supplied. We had plenty of hot water. The towels were very soft and clean. The shower and toilet were very clean. There were plenty of games and toys and this was really appreciated. Other folk have commented on the ants. Yes, there were some but we never really found them to be an issue. The property is very quiet. The thing we liked best about Kerriley was the animal feeding each morning. The couple who do the animal feeding are brilliant with children. They remember each child’s name and ensure that all of them are actively involved in the feeding process. This is a real tourist attraction not to be missed.When I got home I checked on the Kerriley Park website. There were several photos of rooms in the other cottages but no specific photos of the interior of our Rosella Cottage. I wondered if this was intentional. A photo of the back bedroom in our cottage would not have resulted in any booking being made, I’m sure. Joanne gave us a discount on our accommodation when we made the booking a few weeks ago. Was this discount given because it was known that Rosella was very run down. We left the accommodation after only two nights, preferring to lose our money rather than stay longer.

Alison and her husband were so welcoming and accommodating. The rooms were impeccable and comfortable. Cannot fault our experience at the Allora house and highly recommend it!

I would not stay here again even I was paid to.The place seems to be used as emergency or social housing so there was constant fighting and shouting outside at night.There were blood stains on the bed linens, the bed was uncomfortable, there was a knife hidden behind the bathroom sink, a general smell of decay in the air, and suspicious stains on every carpet, and the hot tap is hot enough to scald you.Also no cutlery, no crockery, one glass, a dirty scouring pad with no dish soap, and both TVs in room 22 were broken.

Simple and lovely campground. Nothing too flashy here, but the amenities are clean and the park is well kept. This is also a great spot to access the National park (you are very close to the National park and beautiful beaches), plus a cafe/restaurant, a pool, and a lovely community (possibility for yoga classes, massage…).

I love staying at Boddington Retreat and laying in the hammock and watching the sunset

Great location. Clean and quiet. Only spent a few hours here before sleeping so didn't really use facilities or get a feel for the atmosphere. It's not the most attractive hostel (creaky floorboards, could do with new painting) but it does the job for a night!
