The Guesthouse was ideal for our break away with our daughters dog. It was clean & warm with everything you need to have a good time. The property is secure with a small yard at the back and a larger entrance yard at the front with high gate. Ideal for our dog to mooch around while we were in the guesthouse. Its location is brilliant, within a few minutes walk of Safety Bay Foreshore which is lovely. Short distance to local IGA & local shops. Rockingham & Waikiki Centres within few minutes drive. Lots of lovely walks & places to have coffee etc. The area between Rockingham & Mandurah is great. We will definitely come again. Julie our host was very helpful & check-in & check-out was good.

Stay for my Dog & me.
It was a very settling environment, and the sleeping quarters were comfortable, and i woke up with a good night's rest. It was good entertainment on the TV, everything was available in the kitchen, and i was able to make some good dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous pet friendly little unit
The location and the security of the property is really great , plenty of parking for visiters and a boat trailer if you have one all behind a big secure gate. The owners are very friendly and will help with any request you may have. Unit itself is very well equipped with WiFi Netfix etc. Our puppy loved the freedom to wonder around on her own

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is small but nice and is lovingly furnished. We were pleasantly surprised by everything that was available to us (detergent, shampoo, milk, bread).
Julie was a very pleasant hostess.

Great place to stay!
The property was clean, well presented and had a fresh smell. Julie and Darren are both lovely hosts and very helpful. The location was great close to the beach and only a couple on minutes drive to Rockingham shopping centre. A great unit to have a long or short stay in and the netflix was a bonus!

Great little getaway
The guesthouse was clean and comfortable with everything you would need to hand, and the shower was great. Close to the Safety Bay beach with a good dog beach quite close. Had a very relaxing couple of days. Thanks to the lovely owners, Julie and Darryl, both very helpful and friendly and did not intrude at any time.

Hosts are lovely & guesthouse has everything you need.
loved the extra long shower .
Perfect for small pets, great facilities and having both Netflix and Disney plus was a bonus. Hosts were welcoming and informative. Very helpful and put our aircon on before we got there which was much appreciated in a 40+ day

Dolphin Retreat in Safety Bay a great discovery
Our hosts Julie and Darryl were excellent, welcoming but not intrusive. The accomodation was very clean and comfortable, excellent spacious shower, a great array of kitchen crockery and glassware. There are calm swimming beaches in Safety Bay, Warnbro and Rockingham, great to have a close destination 45 minutes by car from Perth as an alternative to going down south to Margaret River area.
The guest unit was perfect in every way. The attention to detail was perfect. It literally had everything. A very comfortable unit with a good airconditoner, comfortable settee and bed. The kitchen had everything you needed. The tv had a beautiful picture. The lady of the house was very friendly on arrival and departure. Definitely recommend this unit, close enough to the beaches etc. The only things that were a bit tricky was the driveway and the tv remote control.

Just what we needed
We were met by Julie when we first arrived and she explained everything- even giving us directions to the many shopping centres close by.
Our accommodation was just what we needed with our new puppy!
Many thanks!
