Ringtails, walk to town and beach

Summary:
Park your car and leave it for the rest of your holiday! Ringtails is perfectly situated slap bang between Dunsborough beach and town centre. This spacious 4x2 will be the ideal base for your next holiday in the jewel of the South West. Grab your morning coffee before taking a casual stroll down to the beach – it doesn’t get much better than this!

The Space:
The capacious open plan kitchen/lounge/dining area is at the centre of the house, with a wood fire to keep everyone cosy in cool weather, plus a reverse cycle air conditioning unit for heating or cooling all year round. The whole family can gather to enjoy quality time over board and card games provided or cosying up for movie night on the large smart TV, before sharing dinner together at the indoor or outdoor setting.

Each "wing" of the house has two bedrooms and one bathroom to share. On one side is a king and twin single bedroom with full bathroom, including a bath tub; on the other, two queen bedrooms, a bathroom with shower & vanity, and a separate WC just off the laundry.

Pets are welcome to stay at Ringtails, where they can enjoy the fully enclosed back yard and plenty of walks to the beach, which is under 5 minutes away on foot.

In warm weather, why cook or eat inside when you have so much space outside to cook up a storm on the BBQ? A full sized fridge freezer is also provided on the patio, to save multiple trips back to the kitchen for ingredients (and drinks!)

This property encapsulates the best of Dunsborough living, located just a stone's throw from all the action in town and sunsets on the beach.

NB **THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR STUDENT/ LEAVER BOOKINGS**

The Neighborhood:
Dunsborough is the jewel of the South West region, located on the beautiful shores of Geographe Bay. At low tide, the beach has shallow, clear waters, perfect for kids to play and splash around safely, and on a nice day you will find happy groups of visitors and locals alike paddling, floating, fishing and boating in the serene waters of the bay. Just outside of town there are some more secluded beaches, like Curtis Bay and Meelup.

Dunsborough is home to many lovely local boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants, and provides a hub for everyone to enjoy good shopping, food and entertainment. A laidback coastal town with a lovely community feel, it experiences a large swell in population during high season, yet you would be amazed how peaceful holidaying here can still be, thanks to beautiful surrounding bush, leafy suburbs and long stretches of pristine beach.

It's not just about summer here, despite its popularity thanks to the glorious weather; all year round, even when we may be less blessed with warm days and sunny skies, visitors can enjoy hikes, biking, surfing, off-roading, horse riding, cave tours, water sports, fishing, wine and beer tasting, and generally eating and drinking one's way around the area! Visit in spring to catch the whale migration and wild flower season, or in autumn to enjoy quieter beaches and excellent surf.

Please see the Guidebook for our personal recommendations on where to eat, drink, shop and what to see & do in this fabulous region. This list is by no means exhaustive, however, so please get in touch if you need any pointers ahead of your stay.

The Margaret River Wine Region is one of the most prestigious winemaking areas in the world. Considered a “boutique” region, production is relatively small and quality-focused. The unique microclimates and fabulous soils here mean that producers are able to make some of the world’s best Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with a host of other single varietal and blend wines; most wineries will have a good selection of options, including various sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz if the flagship varieties aren’t your cup of tea. Many of these wineries are also home to phenomenal restaurants, and your dining options will range from full tasting menus to casual pizzas or grazing boards. If you have any particular restaurant on your wish list, we strongly recommend booking ahead all year round. In peak summer season (December-February), bookings are essential and may need to be made several weeks or months in advance. Please contact us directly if you would like tailored recommendations for your self-guided winery and/or brewery tour. If you have time, we highly recommend buying a ticket onto one of the many locally operated winery and brewery tour buses, for an unforgettable day out of excellent food and drink.

Getting Around:
Dunsborough has a number of walking and bike paths, meaning that it is very easy to get around on foot and any wheels of your choice. We are fortunate to have a couple of local business offering bike hire, and Dunsborough has recently been included in an e-scooter initiative. This house in particular is just a stone's throw to town and the beach, so no need to hop in the car if you want to stay local. Visitors wishing to explore the surrounding area will need a car.
