There’s a feeling you get down south that’s hard to explain - long afternoons that roll into salty evenings, bare feet on cool timber floors and the sound of the ocean never too far away. This is the kind of place that brings that feeling back & already has short stay approval.
Tucked quietly into one of Dunsborough’s most tightly held pockets, this rammed earth cottage captures the spirit of the old days - when weekends meant loading up the car, chasing the surf and switching off properly. It’s private, a little bit nostalgic and effortlessly inviting.
Inside, the home has a natural warmth that only rammed earth can offer. Timber lined pitched ceilings rise above the open living space, drawing in light and air, while the wood fire anchors the room - perfect for those cooler nights after a day at the beach. Hardwood floors underfoot add to that grounded, relaxed feel, the kind that makes you slow down without even realising it.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, blending modern convenience with the home’s original character. Stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a long window framing the greenery outside make it a space that feels connected, calm and easy to live in.
Three comfortable bedrooms sit within the main home, all serviced by a central bathroom, with the added practicality of a second shower and toilet in the laundry - ideal after sandy beach days.
Then there’s the separate studio - a real bonus. Self contained with bathroom, wood fire and two additional bedrooms, it opens up a range of possibilities. Guests, extended family, or even multi generational living - it’s flexible, private and incredibly useful.
Step outside and the mood shifts again. The backyard feels like a hidden tropical escape, wrapped in established gardens and shaded by mature peppermint trees. There’s dappled light, quiet corners and a paved alfresco area that invites long lunches, late dinners and everything in between. The wraparound verandahs add to the charm, offering sheltered spaces to sit back and take it all in.
Set on a generous corner block, there’s room to move, room to grow and room to simply enjoy it as it is.
Everything that makes this part of the world so special is just a short stroll away - morning coffees, the local shops and the calm, clear waters of the bay. Leave the car behind, grab a board or a towel and fall into an easier rhythm.
Homes like this don’t come up often. It’s not just the location or the layout - it’s the feeling. The kind of place that takes you back, slows you down, and reminds you why you come down south in the first place.

The townsite of Dunsborough is located on the coast, 12 kilometres southeast of Cape Naturaliste and approximately 19 kilometres of Busselton. It was gazetted as a Townsite in 1879, but land for a townsite was set aside here in the late 1830's, and there is a recorded whale fishery at "Dunsbro" in 1850.
Dunsborough is located adjacent to Dunn Bay from which it derives its name. The bay is believed to have been named by Governor James Stirling , March 1830, whilst on the "Eagle" carrying out a survey of Geographe Bay. It is named after Captain Richard Dalling Dunn, under whom Stirling served on the "Hibernia"120 and the "Armide"38 in 1810-1811 (Stirling named a number of features in Western Australia after naval officers under whom he served or was associated with) When Dunsborough first appeared on a map in 1839 it was spelt "Dunnsbro" but the extra n appears to have disappeared by 1850, and the spelling of "bro" was amended to "borough"when the name was gazetted in 1879.
