Beautiful accomodation.
We had an amazing time. The cottage was simple and beautiful. Highly recommend staying here especially for the price we paid. Check in and check out were simple with everything we needed ready for us once we opened the doors.

Great location
Excellent location and nice &quiet. Well equipped and with a great fireplace and a nice long BBQ table outside. However the property was advertised as a 2 bathroom property and is only a one bathroom with an extra toilet. Also the 3rd bedroom is a converted sleepout and quite cold overnight.

Exactly what we were after. Not fancy but everything we needed and a great location. Open plan kitchen/dining /lounge was great for our group of 8. I think we'll be back one day. Cheers.

Wonderful location
Perfect location for short walk to stunning beach, and suited location of our wedding venue. Could have done with a few more details on line of what was provided, ie iron and board. Only criticism is blankets and doona covers were badly stained. We took our own sheets and towels. Location was fabulous.

Excellent location, could be a little cleaner by getting rid of the mould in the front bedroom and shower. We would stay again, solely for the location.

Fabulous location
Great home for 2 families to stay for a Bayside holiday without the price tag of others at the location. Highly recommend. Note however, the second main bedroom has direct access outside or walk through the kids room. 2 x toilets is great withg 8 of us staying. Easy walk to the bay for a swim anytime due to milder weather compared to Perth.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. The property is an older and comfortable, functional and in a good location. It was a good base for exploring this corner. Possibly a little costly for a couple, but as it sleeps 8, cost/person could be ok!

Linen wasn’t included, had to pay extra which I chose but ended up being a pain to have to make beds after a long drive and pack up again when leaving. No fire wood available to use for the fire place. No tea or coffee available either which isn’t very welcoming after a long drive and no shop in eagle bay to get some easily. Nice and spacious though and close to beach, good for families.

In a sea of million dollar properties, Eagle Bay discovery Cottage is out of place; however it does have a wood heater, lots of firewood and a great location.

Winter trip in Eagle bay
Great location and a great price. Easy access to beach, being 5 mins walk away. The house has some renovations done. The bedrooms are basic some of the mattresses need replacing. Very generous supply of free wood for fire, which we needed. Great communication from owner. All in all a good week away.
