Where and what to do

Wanui Escape is situated within 10 minutes of town either by walking or even quicker, riding along the delightful beach path with the shady peppermint trees. Alternatively you can have a peaceful stroll along the beach. Alternatively by car it is only 2 minutes to pop in and pick up the morning paper and fresh crunchy bread from the Bakery.

There are many attractions around Dunsborough, you can go whale watching, diving on the wreck of the "Swan", spend lazy days on the beach either sunbaking or beach fishing. Of couse a must is meandering around the region and calling in for a lunch or having a tasting at the many wineries available. If you like to potter you must visit the many craft places along the way. Also there are the caves to explore. the lighthouse and many other attractions that the local tourist bureau will be able to help you with.

Feeling like some more exercise as within 2 minutes you can be playing golf on the lovely Dunsborough Lakes Golf Estate.

Rating: 5 out of 5
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanui. The house was fully equipped, very comfortable, clean and conveniently located. Looking forward to rebooking it at a later date to enjoy the comforts and surrounding area. The secure yard was great piece of mind as we have young kids.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanui Escape and had some very special experiences in the region
Anne - December 2006
A very comfortable & relaxing home for a family. After a day out in the heat, we especially appreciated being able to lie on the main bed & watch a DVD with the fan going while the kids watched one in the lounge area. Though this quickly turned into some ZZZZ :o).
Hubby appreciated extra pillows (pillow Hog!)
Nice having the BBQ handy too (when we didn't eat out). Son really appreciated the grassed backyard to play cricket when we were "home".
Nice short walk to beach and daughter even caught her first fish (whiting) one night there.
Happy experience.

The Wanui Escape was everything we expected and more. Very comfortable with lots of room and the wood fire warms the entire house up. I would highly recommend staying there whether its a family holiday or a couples weekend away.
