We housed our workers at the home this week for our Eaton Fair project, unfortunately one of our workers didn’t follow the rules and leave on time. Christine was very understanding while I sorted the problem out, I very much appreciated her understanding - thank you

Christine was a very attentive host. With a couple small issues at the beginning Christine sorted them out as soon as I messaged her. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We were a family of six and found the space easy to use, clean had a lovely old world vibe.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Christine’s 1950’s home! The property is full of character and charm, beautifully maintained with a perfect blend of vintage style and modern comfort. The location is fantastic—quiet, yet close to everything Bunbury has to offer. Christine was an exceptional host, warm and welcoming, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and felt like a true home away from home. I especially loved the retro touches that gave the place so much personality. Highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Bunbury—you won’t be disappointed!
