Red Cat Shack • Dunsborough

The Red Cat Shack is on the ocean side of Caves Road. It is a relaxing family holiday home and is only a stone's throw away from the pristine white sands of beautiful Geographe Bay beach. A playground and dog beach are nearby, and the water is nice and shallow - very safe and protected swimming, especially for young children.

It is centrally located (in a cul-de-sac) and a well-equipped home. Use the Red Cat Shack as your base to start exploring the magnificent Margaret River Wine Region.

A weekend away
This property is a great little house for those not wanting to spend big bucks for a weekend away in Dunsborough. We loved that the property is pet friendly so we could take our dog away with us. The location was great and just a small walk to town and close to the beach. I would just suggest updating the bed quilts/doona's as they were thin and not very warm during the cold nights. We would definitely stay there again.

Great property and location
We really enjoyed our stay and I will be recomending this property to friends and family (especially pet owners - we didnt bring our dogs down this time but the backyard is a good size and very secure) Our only issue was towels - it is flagged on the property listing that towels arent included but I think this could be clearer. I would have appreciated a reminder in the pre check-in emails to BYO or pay for towels. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

Great location close to everything.
Loved the location of the property - close to town and the beach and a good location to explore the rest of Dunsborough. House was clean and tidy. Few negatives included the main bed being squeaky and old, the front security door not locking or even closing properly so couldn’t allow airflow for fear of toddler pushing it open, and no top sheets on beds.

Beach house
The house is exceptionally well presented and perfect for a family beach holiday. That’s not what we used it for though, as we only needed a couple of beds while participating in the Busselton Ironman.

Comfortable and lovely
The property is smallish though certainly suitable for us as an older couple. Anyone with a large family may find it a bit tight. The house and yard are well-kept, and the furnishings are comfortable. The fence on one side had small gaps at the bottom which resulted in us being a little concerned that our small dogs may get out. The possums also did result in a disturbed sleep as the dogs were not used to them. We do love wildlife and mention this so others are informed, not as a complaint. Thank you
