About this property

Dawesville Crab Shack - Outstanding Views and Location!

Original Renovated 1970’s 2 storey Holiday Home situated on a hill ,100 metres from the Estuary with Panoramic views and a great deck area. Cafe, parkland and boat launching all within 200 metres of the shack.

Whilst the home has had some renovations it has plenty of character and personality . However it I still a bit “ rickety” .. think original bathrooms , stiff sliding doors etc

Hence the description of a Shack! But it’s very comfortable ,clean ,well equipped and with extensive estuary views from almost every room.

Three bedrooms two bathrooms

UPSTAIRS

Main bedroom with QS bed , ensuite and lovely views.

New fully equipped Kitchen with electric hot plates , microwave and oven , dinning table for 6

Family room with Flat screen TV, opening onto the verandah

Large verandah with outdoor setting to watch all the activity on the estuary.

Not suited for more than 6 adults and not suitable for children under 6.

DOWNSTAIRS

Two bedrooms, one has a double bed and the other has two single beds .Shared bathroom and separate toilet.

Games room with Table Tennis, board games and books


LOCATION

Located in a cul de sac on a hill ,100 m from the Estuary foreshore with childrens playground , BBQs , cafe / general store and boat launching facilities. There are kilometres of pathways for walking and cycling

5 minute drive to the beaches, "The Cut" Golf Course and Bouvard Marina ,10 minute drive to Falcon and Miami shopping centre 15 minutes drive to central Mandurah

Plenty of room for cars and boats in the driveway

What an amazing holiday home

Thanks for allowing us to stay again. We love this cosy shack. The best thing about it has to be the views and short walk to estuary and the boat ramp. 1 week down here feels like a month. Lovely quiet , friendly neighbourhood. We'll be back again.

Quick getaway

Beautiful and quiet location. Amazing veiws of the estuary from the balcony. House was very clean and would be great for a family with 4 single beds downstairs and master bedroom upstairs. My partner and I wished we could have stayed for longer.

Wonderful house and location, but linen and old pillows were disgusting, we had to leave a day early

The linen and old pillows are disgusting to the point of leaving a day early due to my spouses health concerns due to constant coughing and wheezing with old pillows, update the linen NOW

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

I love our Crab Shack !... when we bought the house it was neglected and in original condition... the original owner, Connie, lived in the house until about 2010 after which it was rented, until we purchased it in 2014. We have replaced the outside verandah and installed a new kitchen. we have pulled out all the brown melamine furniture , lifted the nylon carpet and polished the jarrah floorboards. Add a coat of paint and some nice furniture and we have a place where you can relax , enjoy the views and environment just an hour out of Perth !

What makes this property unique

It's a home with personality ! No doubt some of the best views of both the Peel and Harvey Inlets...from just about every room ! Also only 200m away from the foreshore, Childrens play area and cafe .
