A wonderful place for some R&R. Hosts Deb and Wayne are so welcoming and ready to assist with anything you need. Comfortable, private & homely cottage with so much charm and history. Everything there to make your stay a home away from home including a relaxing bath with bath salts. We definitely recommend a stay here to recharge. We hope to have another visit sometime.
Pleasantly located in a semi rural environment between the ocean and the Peel Inlet 20kms South of Mandurah. Friendly owners and hospitality adding to a very enjoyable 5 day stay.
Very relaxing 2 nights highly recommend t

Quaint and peaceful cottage, feels immersed in nature and a place to unwind and recharge. Well equipped kitchen, nice dining area. One air conditioning unit with several fans that’s adequate to beat the heat in early summer.
We didn’t have signal (Telstra and Optus) nor manage to connect to wifi (iPhone 15 and Samsung s23) within the cottage, but there’s connectivity at the balcony outside the room or patio of the house.
Place was lovely with a historic feel to the place, with an interesting history provided to us by the engaging owner. Close to the Lazy Crab for a nice meal with live music. Close to Lake Clifton for a bit of photography at sunset. Perfect stay!
I spent 2 nights in this beautiful cottage with my young son. Great hosts and beautiful surrounds. Comfortable, clean and beautiful. We will be back for longer
We had a lovely weekend at Deb’s cottage. It’s bigger than the photos show and was very comfortable. Check in was easy and it was a great base to explore the surroundings.
Lil Rustic Cottage was a lovely Haven to spend some
time enjoying the area.
Hosts Deb and Wayne were lovely, the type of people
who you like instantly 😊
Our stay was fantastic! The cottage was comfortable, nostalgic and very peaceful. A great way to relax and enjoy some holidays for us. Deb and Wayne were generous and helpful hosts. We highly recommend this accommodation.
C&A Barry
The perfect base for our 4 day Birding trip. The interior decor is an eclectic mix of French Country and Australian Federation. Very comfortable with lots of attention to details ie choice of twinnings tea, good reading material etc
Abundant figs and friendly possum visitor where memorable surprises! Wayne [host] checked with us daily that all was running smoothly, especially with the hot days.
Deb and Wayne were excellent hosts providing us with treats in the fridge on arrival and a lovely clean cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable, with everything needed to make our stay so relaxing.
The cottage is beautifully decorated with the original stove and floorboards.
Highly recommend taking bikes to ride along the estuary too.
Highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful staycation.
Deb & Wayne’s cottage did not disappoint. Beautifully presented & well stocked, it’s remote enough to feel like you have gone away yet still close enough to the attractions of Port Bouvard & Mandurah to get out & about if that’s what you want.
Highly recommended.
This is an old farmhouse that was built more than 130 years ago. It has been well rejuvenated but the owners have not destroyed the rustic character of the property. Therefore, it is a very pleasant spot to just get away for a break. The hosts were also excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you Deb and Wayne.
We enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at Deb and Wayne's cottage and it was everything we needed.
A charming little cottage, very clean, in a fabulous location.
Communication with Deb prior to our stay was excellent. We unfortunately didn't meet Deb but Wayne was very helpful and friendly upon our arrival. He went out of his way to help us park a horse float, and then kindly fixed a small problem we had with the float. We were so grateful, and certainly chose the right place to stay.
Thank you Deb and Wayne. We will most definitely recommend your cottage to family and friends.
