We were two families holidaying together and we can not rate this house enough! We have already booked for next year. Everything about it was amazing. The lay out, location, cleanliness, everything was 100%. The fact that we could take our furry babies with us was the cherry on top!! HIGHLY recommend a stay here!!!

Weekend in Gracetown

Our group consisted of two couples volunteering as part of a community bike ride based in Gracetown. The location of this property was very convenient and a short walk from the event. The property was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped and had great views of Cowaramup Bay from the upper level deck. It was ideal for our small group of four.

Great quirky beach house. Very clean and well maintained home that has everything you need and more. Kitchen is a highlight - well set up and very easy to cook in.

Hogwarts of Gracetown

Marmaduke is great property for dog owners and folk with small children who like secret stairs and passageways. The upper deck was lovely. The dog had a great time chosing which stairs to bring back his toys. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well stocked with everything you need, and sunsets were lovely.

Weekend away

Property is well equipped in the kitchen & bathroom with everything you need. Great and quiet location, can't fault the short walk to the beach 🙂 Couldn't find the dart board but we had fun with the pool table and table tennis in the evenings so it wasn't missed! There was an issue with our stay but owners are aware & are onto it.

The dart board may have been difficult to see but it is in a cabinet on a wall on the back veranda.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Terry

Host profile image
I was born in Margaret River being descended from the first settlers in the district, Alfred and Ellen Bussell. I am a former high school Principal who lives in Perth but have had an ongoing close affinity with Margaret River.
Our 3 children and six grand children are proud of their Margaret River heritage and just love visiting such a very special beach house.

Why they chose this property

This amazing house is close to the beach, has brilliant ocean views, fantastic bedroom and kitchen facilities together with table tennis and pool tables.. Historical photos including the Grace Bussell horseback rescue of the "Georgette' survivors adorn the walls of this property.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property due to its great views over a beautiful bay, closeness to the sea. The large brick and stone house gives a sense of privacy to bedrooms and outdoor areas. The external area is well set up for pets.
It has been wonderful to share the Marmaduke experience with others and to find so many of our visitors also fall in love with our beach house.
