Luxe Homestays presents...Captains Cottage When you stay in The Captain's Cottage, you can't get any closer to the bay! Come and see what it feels like waking up with the water at your door. Long before there were houses on The Peninsula, the Captain’s Cottage was the end of the line a farmhouse on a fruit orchard surrounded by aquatic pleasures. The farm is long gone, and the coastal holiday enclave of Quindalup has grown and evolved around it, but this charming historic beachside verandah home remains in the same position it has sat for near on 100 years. Renovated in contemporary beach styling with a nod to its original character, you can enjoy a salty beach holiday and meditate over simpler days gone by. Captain’s Cottage is a single-level home that is perfect for families and comfortably sleeps ten. The master suite is in its own secluded wing with an ensuite and private sun-drenched reading room with a study nook hidden away from the more energetic family zones. Couples will also love this home with 4 bedrooms in total, with even the minor bedrooms having double beds. Both main bedrooms have queen beds and French doors opening to surround verandas that wrap around the house, giving guests plenty of outdoor sitting areas to choose from. The 3rd and 4th bedrooms both have tri-bunks set up, with both single and double-bed options, which makes the home great for couples and families alike. Bedroom 3 has a second single bed as well as the tri-bunk option. This is a house for relaxed seaside holidays. An outdoor shower is just the thing after a spell at the beach, and guests who amble home first can settle on the front veranda to watch the rest of the clan emerge from the tree-lined bush track across the road. Cook up a hearty meal in the newly renovated kitchen and share some holiday stories with your cherished family and friends. Families will appreciate the enclosed backyard and lawn area… great for containing little children who can play while being supervised through the kitchen window. The backyard also features an undercover alfresco and outdoor dining area just outside the kitchen door, so impromptu BBQs and meal times outdoors are a breeze. In the cooler months, enjoy a glass of Margaret River cabernet and conversation with a loved-one fireside in the lounge, to the backdrop of the crackling embers or opt for the convenience of the central reverse cycle air-conditioning which can warm the entire home. With its fruit trees, camellias, seaside location, and vintage styling, this house offers a fantastic holiday experience with a delightful touch of nostalgia. A starter pack of firewood is provided for the fireplace during the winter months. If you require extra firewood, it can be purchased at local service stations and hardware stores. LINEN IS OPTIONAL AND IF REQUIRED PLEASE ENSURE TO ORDER AT CHECKOUT STAGE. LINEN PACKS WILL INCLUDE: TOP AND BOTTOM SHEETS, PILLOWCASES, BATHROOM TOWELS, BATH MAT, AND HAND AND FACE TOWELS. LINEN COSTS ARE $30 PER PERSON.
