Stylish & relaxed, it’s perfect for single occupancy or a couple looking for a romantic getaway.
The Space.
Wintersun Retreat is a quaint, rammed earth cottage set within Wintersun Cottage. Situated on a generous sized block and surrounded by a mature garden, with lots of trees, bamboo and citrus trees, it’s hard to believe town is so close! Wintersun Retreat is located within Wintersun Cottage, meaning, we lock two-bedroom doors and re-list the property as a cosy one-bedroom retreat for two! You get all the conveniences of fully functioning home but, with only one bedroom for a single occupancy or couple.
The open plan living area and kitchen has beautiful floorboards and terracotta style tiles are throughout the rest of the home. There is a potbelly (and heaters) for winter, plus dining room table, Smart TV, Wifi and couch with plenty of cushions and snuggly throws and blankets to be cosy on the cooler months and in summer, relax amongst the mature trees in the 'wild’ garden.
The kitchen has a dishwasher, Nespresso machine, stove top, oven and large fridge, plus, an array of cooking utensils, pots and pans and crockery to prepare home cooked meals.
A BBQ and undercover alfresco area are the perfect entertaining areas, or location for family meals.
Down the hallway there is one bedroom with a Queen bed and two bathrooms, plus laundry. We supply all bed and bath linen.
A permanent tenant lives in studio at the rear of the property but, you are unlikely to come into contact with him as he works away, and his entry (and yours) is separate and private.
Wintersun Retreat is a cute couples retreat and as the yard is secure, so we will consider pets on a case by case basis. Please message us for more details.

Location.
Beside the calm and clear waters of Geographe Bay, the pretty town of Dunsborough is a favourite "down south" family holiday destination. A short walk or scenic drive brings you to secluded coves and stunning coastal trails, with local award-winning wineries and breweries offering the perfect excuse for a lazy lunch.
This cottage is walking to distance to town and a short hop from some of Western Australia's best swimming beaches, including pretty little Meelup, the sweeping sands of Eagle Bay and the sheltered turquoise waters of Bunker Bay.
Dunsborough itself was proclaimed as a town in 1877 and, until the mid-1950s, was no more than a few beach shacks. Today, it boasts a vibrant arts scene, with live music, widely-renowned art galleries and bustling summer markets.

Incredible little gem, wonderful gardens, cosy space and fantastic location. The home was bright and breezy during the day and warm and cosy at night. The garden was fully fenced which was great for my little dachshund. Loved the day bed in amongst the gorgeous garden. Great space to cook with good cooking equipment and BBQ. Really comfy bed, slept well! Not even 5 mins walk to awesome coffee and only 12 mins walk to the beach. A truly wonderful stay. Thanks Lizzie, you’re a fabulous host!!

This was our first time visiting Dunsborough and we quickly realised on arrival, we were super lucky to have booked this property. It's in a great location, a short walk into Dunsborough town centre and 10mins walk to the beach. A very clean house and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lizzy provided easy check-in and prompt/helpful replies to all our correspondence. The rammed earth property is in a very quiet street and the tenanted studio to the side of the property is totally unobtrusive and separate with its own garden, entrance and parking. We asked if we could bring our small dog, and after being supplied with the basic rules about having dogs at the property, she was welcomed to stay too. The well-established garden is fully fenced and has a BBQ, outdoor setting and sun loungers. An excellent Airbnb, well worth a second visit in the future!
