Tearing the children away from Blue Waters Beach House in Busselton could be a challenge. Not only does it offer a Wii games console, air hockey table and foosball game but it also comes complete with pets – two goldfish which guests are invited to name.
WA's most named fish?
Some of Their Many Names.
Fish food is provided for Bill and Ben/ Dick and Dora/ Heckle and Freckle but they are limited to only one flake every second day.
The three-bedroom, one bathroom house is close to the Port Geographe beach and a short drive from Busselton town centre.
Close to the Beach.
Two bedrooms cater for adults with double beds while the third has bunk beds to sleep four children.
The junior member of our party was most impressed with the towels, some of which were folded into an elephant shape.
The kitchen is well-equipped by beach house standards with a reasonable selection of knives and a small stove-top espresso coffee maker.
The overall vibe is light, bright and clean; it's comfortable rather than luxurious. A card from the owners, Janet and Nick Fields, gives local recommendations and information, such as where to find kangaroos of an evening.
The house, which is accredited by the Tourism Council of Western Australia, rents out at $160-250 per night depending on season.
