This house is perfect for a holiday. It is neat clean and tidy and in a fabulous location. It is also secure and has everything that you need. Its only a 5 minute walking distance from the house to town and a stones throw from the water. And the yard was very secure for my two dogs.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay at Mbale was good, it is in a great location and we enjoy having a decent yard. The down side we find is the air conditioning not working overly well, and in order to keep everything from getting too damp, all of the windows must be open, which defeats the purpose of having the aircon running unfortunately. We turned the evaporative air conditioning off a number of times during our 9 night as we could feel the couches in the living area getting damp. I believe one split system in the living area would be sufficient to cool the entire house if it was kept shut up. Apart from this we cannot fault the cleanliness and other amenities in the house.

Very well-placed, clean, simple little home with everything we needed. With shops in the area closing so early it would be fabulous to arrive to a small starter-pack (eg) 5 teabags, 2-cup container of milk, 3 sugar sachets, 1 'coin-size' piece of soap, and a toilet roll. I understand it is the customers job to supply these for the stay but even miniatures of these products to arrive to at night when everything is closed would have been SO helpful and welcoming.

The functionality, layout and supplies in this accomodation were perfect. My only complaints wete the shower curtain!!! The shower recess is reasonably small, the curtain is set back quite a way and it blows in onto your skin all of the time while showering (it needs weighting at the bottom or changing to a screen) and there was no measuring jug for cooking (very minor) The garden was fantastic for our dog,the beds and couches were super comfortable for us and the booking and key pick up were very easy.

Neat and tidy house. You can see the river and coast from the front garden, and the pub is a short walk away (there is nothing too far away in Kalbarri). There were two blue tongued lizards living in the back garden and we came back to find a big roo munching on the grass in the front garden one afternoon. The only minor issue was that the architrave running along the face-brick wall in the laundry was not sealed, meaning that bits if debris were being blown onto the work surface, but such a minor thing and easy for the owner to fix

We have been returning to this house for almost 30 years every Sept/Oct school holidays. We always feel like we’ve returned home. We love the location and the house has all the extras you might need in the kitchen. There’s even jigsaws and games for the kids and pencils etc. my children used to do jigsaws when we came to stay, now my grandchildren come and enjoy them! Kalbarri has so much to offer. The beaches, cafes, playgrounds, cycle paths, tourist sites , shops, bakeries and most of these things are in walking distance. If you haven’t come to Kalbarri- this is a perfect house!

We love staying at this house although I think the tree/garden bed out the back needs a tidy up, and maybe brick the backyard instead of having the dirt/blue metal rocks out there. We sit outside a lot and it is quite annoying to walk around and duck under the tree when the table is there. Another suggestion I could make is to have at least one decent sharp knife in the kitchen. Other than this the house is spot on, a split system in the lounge room would be very comfortable also. I look forward to my stay again in 2025.

The Managment Company was very professional and flexible for check in, which was greatly appreciated. Extremely clean and well located. My gripe was the house was more like a stay with your grandparents as a child, not the Kalabari holiday feel. From the old furniture, linen, full carpets, every cupboard had a label which made you feel uneasy. That dinner room table made me feel it was there for show, not to eat off. Could be very well suited to some, but if you are after a place that makes you feel like you are on a "Kalbari get away", it doesn't give this vibe. Did bring back good memories of Nan tho. :)
