What to do?
If you manage to drag yourself away from the peace and quiet of Peppy Beach then you can stay close to home with walks in the forest or a visit to the local wineries (incl. Capel Vale 5mins). It's a 20min drive to Busselton through picturesque Ludlow and Tuart Drive, or Bunbury just up the highway. Both offer a variety of shops restaurants and cinemas. Busselton has one of the last drive-in cinemas.

Not too far away are the well known and diverse attractions of Dunsborough, Margaret River and the Southwest. Just Google any of these and you'll find something for everyone. Information booklet at the house with local food outlets and tourist information.

A short drive takes you to Capel where you will find an IGA, bottleshop, pub (TAB), takeaway food, cafes, GP's, newspapers, bait and tackle etc. Newly reopened caravan park has a small shop, bottle shop and make some lovely pizzas!

There are several beach launching spots and a marina boat ramp 15mins away (Port Geographe). A large stainless steel double sink is provided outside to clean your catch of fish etc.

Serenity Now relies on bottled LPG for gas to the house.

If no hot water, first double check that the gas cooktop is also not lighting, if not working then go to Gas Bottles:
- Gas bottles are located RHS of house (side next to vacant block).
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the empty gas bottle OFF (clockwise).
- You then move the changeover valve lever (our one is copper) to point towards the other (full) gas bottle.
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the full gas bottle ON (anti-clockwise).
- Please let us know when you swap bottles so we can order a replacement.

Great location
A nice enough place in great location, very close to a wonderful beach. For our group of 9 the living areas were a little snug, bedrooms were fine and comfortable. Back garden was secure and good for the children. Minimal pantry supplies mean that you should bring all the essentials if you intend to cook. Otherwise kitchen was adequately equipped. Lots of parking for a group of people. Spa bath with shower was very deep and probably not suitable for older people, as getting out was a little tricky and the bottom of the bath was not flat.

Lovely break
We stayed at this property for the weekend with my husband and two children. The house was in a lovely quiet location, minutes to the beach. The owner Michelle was very helpful and quick with helping out. The property is tricky with a 15 month old because of the stairs but this was listed on the website so I knew this going forward. The only thing we struggled with was the shower in the spa. This was the only shower and having to get in over big steps with a baby and a 5 year old is difficult. Even showering as an adult it’s tricky. Perhaps another normal shower would make things much easier, especially for elderly. But the house was tidy had good facilities and I would recommend.

A beautiful place to stay
The accomodation was so lovely, and the photos do not do it credit. It was so lovely to spend a winter’s weekend there with a fire and a spa to keep us warm. The house had everything you could want in a holiday home and more. Definitely would visit again.
