Dunsborough in South West WA is the perfect place for a family holiday. I have just returned from a five day break with the whole family, dear husband, our two children and partners and two grandchildren.
I searched very hard for the best house, it wasn’t easy, as it had to accommodate six adults and two children, be close to the beach and not too far from town! I finally found a four bedroom house just 30 seconds from the beach and a short drive into town. It was called Quindalup Boat House.
We took three cars and many bags and suitcases with us.

Quindalup Beach
The coast goes on for miles here and is very sheltered making it the ideal place for small children. Lachie and Rosie loved every minute on the beach. It’s great for running and walking.

Over the next few days we visited farms, playgrounds, breweries, pubs and of course the beach everyday. We didn’t always do everything together and gave each other enough space to enjoy our own individual outings.
I think it’s been the one good thing about Covid that Laurence and Maddy were able to join us, having arrived from Melbourne before the borders closed.
Everyone agreed that it was one of the best holidays we’ve ever taken! Over the next few posts I will be writing about some of the places we visited.

A piece of wall art in our house says…..”It doesn’t matter where you go in life, what you do, or how much you have. It’s who you have by your side”….
That is very true 🙂
Everything you hoped and more. xx
I love Dunsborough, and you were lucky to be able to have a fabulous holiday with the whole family.
We were Sami, I love Dunsborough too, so quirky 🙂
Looks like the perfect spot, the interior as attractive as the exterior. Lovely pictures of your holiday and the kids look delightful. Glad you had such a great time, it comes over in the post how much fun it was.
Thanks Mari, it will be a while before we all are together again so it made it extra special 🙂
