Wonderful Stay
The property is sparkling clean and equipped well with kitchen appliances and utensils etc. the area is quiet and 2-3 walk to the beach. The balcony is provided with nice furniture. The bedrooms are of good size, 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms give such a convenience to everyone. The host is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend the place.

Thank you Liz for a lovely stay in your beautiful home, it had everything we needed and more. The kids loved the toys and the adults enjoyed coffee on the verandah surrounded by trees, birds and a view of the ocean. We can’t wait to come back again, for longer hopefully.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was great and had everything we needed. The host was welcoming. Although both the house and the area were lovely, unfortunately it was much too far from town for us, with very limited amenities close by. Would definitely stay again, if it were closer to town. For people not needing/wanting to go in to town very often, it would be perfect so would definitely recommend.

Ocean views quiet location
Perfect accommodation, very comfortable beds, enjoyed being able to open up the bedroom doors to sit out on the deck. Very quiet location. We were lucky and had a couple of days of perfect weather so could swim at the beach across the road which has trees for shade right on the shoreline. (The rest of the time it was completely covered in seaweed unable to swim or walk there). Amazing reef around the corner that could be walked out of with awesome shell and rock collecting. We got some great finds. All in all really enjoyed our visit to Geraldton. Thankyou!

3 night stay
We enjoyed our stay, Liz was welcoming with a walk through. Lovely decorated private very clean accommodation. We loved the sea breeze coming through the property at sunset and evening. The location was great with the beach a short walk away with a lovely sitting area created by the locals. Fantastic sunsets! No Air conditioner at night, this didn’t worry us at all for the 1st 2 nights of our stay but our last night was a bit to warm to sleep comfortably. All up a very lovely place to stay, nicely decorated and nice touches with coffee, tea, shampoo/conditioner and shower gel in bathrooms. We only had 2 of us but this would be a great place to have a family or group stay. Would have loved to stay longer.

quiet beach heaven
We loved the location at Drummond Cove. It is so quiet we thought all the other homes must be empty. Beautiful beach opposite with lovely walks. A quiet hideaway but still close to all the conveniences of Geraldton. Liz was an exceptional host who was warm and welcoming. She has thought of everything that a guest may possibly need. The place is spacious, well designed so all the bedrooms and bathrooms are private from each other. I had my elderly parents who easily managed the wide walk ramp to the front door. They were comfortable and safe. It is also tastefully decorated with lovely touches, but not cluttered with useless objects. Everything was clean and working well. Liz also has a compost if you want to keep your amount of general waste to a minimum. We stayed for one week, but could have happily stayed longer and hope to return some day. Highly recommend.

A place to relax
The property is situated walking distance to the beach. It is light and airy with spacious rooms and inviting outdoor areas. It is a great place to unwind and relax and worked well for a group of 3 couples travelling together. While the host lives onsite, we felt that we had the place to ourselves but with the added benefit of knowing that if we needed anything then help was close at hand. The plants both indoor and on the balcony and gardens made the place feel like home rather than a sterile holiday let. We had a couple of very enjoyable days. Thank you

Perfect Respite - Highly recommend
Booked accomodation for respite with clients mental health issues to find a relaxing stress free environment but close to places of interest for day outings. This was perfect so close to beach my clients who have mobility issues could still wander down at their leisure just using their walkers. Balcony with views of ocean just enhanced the experience. All we needed to do was walk in with our clothes and food, everything else was supplied and more than ample for our needs. I would recommend this accomodation for families, couples, friends and like myself support workers looking to find a little respite for their clients - highly highly recommend.

We found the cove a very comfortable stop on a 6 week meander around Australia Liz was easy to communicate with and full of local knowledge without intruding on our space. The decks were a wonderful place to relax with three different areas you can use to avoid the wind and the sun in depending on the prevailing conditions One to recommend

Wow what a find! Drummond Cove is the perfect place to relax. The house has everything you need, very well furnished., the beds were so comfy and we had so much fun playing the board games each evening. beach is literally at the bottom of the drive, perfect for the kids to burn off energy. Sitting out on the patio in the morning watching the world go by and having a cuppa before the kids woke up was bliss. Liz was a wonderful host, there to greet us when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return to Drummond Cove 😊
