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.

Amazing house

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. Such a lovely house to stay in. Quite big and roomy. The fireplace got a work out as it was quite cold down there. We will definitely recommend this house to friends and family. We will be back 💕💕

Location with everything you need

It was great staying in Tony’s place in gracetown for Easter. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and heaps of room for 2 families. We loved watching the sunset from the top balcony and enjoyed the table tennis tables. The kitchen has more than what we have a home. A beautiful home. Location is also great. Short walk to town and beaches and we enjoyed the Easter festivities on at the hall a short walk away

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.

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.

Great Oceanview Getaway with Excellent Amenities.

We recently stayed at this wonderful accommodation for five days, and it was an incredible experience. The house is impeccably clean and comes fully equipped with everything you might need, even down to rice for cooking! The location is perfect, offering stunning views overlooking the ocean. The variety of indoor activities provided kept us thoroughly entertained. We enjoyed countless hours playing various board games and had a fantastic time shooting pool. Additionally, the property is pet-friendly, and our dog absolutely loved the spacious area to roam and play. Communication with Tony was excellent throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

A bit of everything

The house has a bit of everything for everyone. It was well stocked, lots to keep you busy and the kids very entertained, toys, games and adventures for everyone or just sit around the fire and watch a movie. Quirky layout and some steep steps for the elderly, but everyone had a very comfortable sleep and enjoyed the views and ample room with peace and quiet. Not stayed in Gracetown before, but this was very pleasant. Kids enjoyed fishing and the beach and rocks. Would stay again.

The house was fully equipped. If you forgot anything you could be sure to find it in this house. Would be great for a family with children or even two families. Three showers, four toilets. Communication with the owner was excellent. I have nothing negative to say about this property. Will be back for sure!

Nice property

We stay in Gracetown at least three times a year and it was my first stay at Marmaduke. The kitchen in this property is a cook's dream - the best fitted out kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday house! The lounge-room has a really comfortable couch with a decent sized TV. Only downside - the Foxtel definitely does not work at this property (screen constantly flickers - coverage clearly an issue). The beds are nice and big and comfortable, although the house rattles a lot in the wind. Some views of the bay from the nicely decked balcony. Plus its a short walk to the beach which is great. What really impresses me with this property is that it allows well-trained pets. Didn't bring the family pooch on this occasion but would definitely book this house again, so we can bring our dog. So many houses refuse animals, so this is a big tick for us! Overall a nice, clean and comfortable property.

Amazing

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!!!

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. Owner was very easy to deal with and communicated promptly when there was an issue. Comfortable beds. Secure side yard for the dog. Loved it.

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.
