Chaudiere Beach House is a six bedroom family holiday house, furnished for casual comfort while still being stylish and attractive. It has magnificent views over Flinders Bay and the mouth of the Blackwood River. In season you are likely to see whales from the upstairs veranda and dolphins may pass by at any time. The Colourpatch restaurant is just around the corner, surf and child friendly beaches are nearby and there is great fishing or boating on the river. Wineries, forests, caves and all the attractions of Margaret River are all just a short drive away. The accommodation consists of an upstairs house and a self-contained downstairs flat. They are never rented separately. Access to the flat is given to groups of more than eight or to smaller groups for an additional fee. There are two driveways (one to the house and one to the flat), which provide plenty of parking and easy access, including for elderly people. However, the external stairs linking the two are quite steep, and care should be taken with young children or frail, elderly people. We cannot accommodate vehicles with excessively high clearances or boats. There is an area at the bottom of the street where larger vehicles and boats can be parked. It is not permitted for guests to be accommodated in campervans or tents on the property in any circumstances. The upstairs house has a comfortable living room and a separate dining room with a reverse cycle air conditioner. There is a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, induction cooktop, electric oven and microwave. There are four bedrooms one with a queen bed, one with a double the others with twin single beds. There are two bathrooms (one ensuite). The downstairs flat has a living/dining room with a television and a kitchen with a electric stove. There are two adjoining bedrooms, one with a queen bed the other has double bunks. There is also a bathroom. Both levels have a washing machine and dryer. Linen is supplied and beds will be made prior to your arrival. Each bed has a feather doona and a lighter cover. We supply bathmats and one bath towel per person. Tea towels are also supplied. You will need to bring your own toiletries. The house sits on a bushy block and the yard is not fenced.

The house is inspected and cleaned following each stay. However, our rates are calculated on the understanding that guests will leave the house in a reasonably clean and tidy state. This includes ensuring that all indoor and outdoor furniture is placed where it was on arrival, all dishes and cooking utensils are washed and put away, any foodstuff has been removed from the refrigerator and cupboards and all rubbish has been placed in firmly tied plastic bags and placed in the outside bins. If the barbeque has been used it should be thoroughly cleaned. Any excess cleaning will be charged at $40 an hour.
