Higgins Hideaway—Central Cottage with Garden Oasis

Summary:

Nestled between the bustling town and tranquil trees, Higgins Hideaway is a peaceful escape for you and your furry companion. Just minutes from Margaret River’s vibrant main street, it blends cosy interiors with a leafy garden oasis. A lockable storage area for bikes, surfboards, and kayaks, along with direct access to mountain bike trails from your doorstep, makes it a great choice for adventurers. After a day out, return to alfresco dining, a sizzling BBQ, and a refreshing outdoor shower.



The Space:

A lovingly restored character cottage in the heart of Margaret River, Higgins Hideaway, where charming art deco touches meet modern-day comforts.



Higgins Hideaway, a lovingly restored character cottage in the heart of Margaret River, offers a charming blend of art deco touches and modern comforts. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a light-filled living area with warm timber floors, comfortable leather sofas, and reverse cycle air conditioning to keep you comfortable in every season. Settle in for a movie night, curl up with a book, or enjoy a glass of wine after a day of adventure.



The open-plan kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a large gas hob, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook up a feast. Enjoy meals around the indoor dining table or dine alfresco under the shade of the trees, listening to the gentle hum of nature.



Two queen bedrooms at the front of the house showcase original art deco details and are serviced by a sleek, newly renovated family bathroom with a deep soaking tub. The third bedroom, tucked toward the rear of the house, is perfect for a second couple or kids, with its own tranquil outlook.



Step outside into your private garden oasis—fully enclosed, lush, and leafy, with a large deck for entertaining and a Weber BBQ for laid-back summer evenings. This holiday home is a cyclist’s dream, with a lockable storage area for bikes, surfboards, and kayaks. Positioned right near the Hairy Marron bike shop, you can roll straight out onto world-class mountain bike trails directly from the property. After a day at the beach or on the bike trails, rinse off in the outdoor shower with both hot and cold water options.



There’s a washing machine and dryer, free parking both on-site and on the street, a powder room for your convenience, blackout blinds for lazy mornings, and a TV with a sound system for cosy evenings in.



Please note that dogs cannot be left unattended at the property, as required by the local council.



Guest Access:

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire garden to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!



The Neighborhood:

Higgins Hideaway offers the best of both worlds—centrally located, yet wonderfully private. Just one street back from Margaret River’s buzzing high street, you’ll find local cafés, wine bars, shops and eateries within a three-minute walk. Directly beside the home, forest trails and bike tracks lead you through stunning bushland and riverside paths, while the beautiful coastline and beaches are only a short drive away. Whether you’re here for wine, waves, or winding walks—everything is within easy reach.

Higgins Hideaway is a lovely house in an excellent location. The yard is fully fenced so our dog and kids were free to run around safely. It's only a short walk to the river, playground, museum, and cafe strip.The back deck is a super-relaxing place to sit under the shade of the trees. We enjoyed a couple of meals outside during our time there. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was a nice surprise to find in both showers. And finding a coffee machine with a couple of pods kept the coffee lovers happy.We will definitely stay here again on any future trips to Margaret River.

Great location & lovely light filled house

We stayed four nights and enjoyed the lovely light filled rooms. The house is decorated beautifully, the kitchen well equipped, bathrooms clean & outdoor areas lovely to relax in. An easy walk to the main street & all of the cafes, restaurants, bakeries & shops. We would highly recommend this property Check in was fairly smooth, although the lockbox is a little stiff to open & unfortunately we didn't receive our complementary bottle of wine on arrival

Cape to Comfort

We were in Margaret River for the C2C off road bike ride, the house had everything required to accommodate us along with a fenced area for the fur kids. Higgins Hideaway is walking distance to top along with bush walks. It was relaxing way to end the day thank you.

Lovely 3 nights

Higgins hideaway is a classy 1920's bungalow. High ceilings and beautiful boards. Stunning garden, beautifully blooming with seasonal flowers.A tranquil spot yet easy walking distance to Margs shops or walk in forest around the river. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.Loved the tiny book library and being able to bring our well behaved Jack Russell. Thank you for sharing your character home with us.

Lovely stay in Margaret River

Great location and nice house. Easy walk to the main street and beautiful to be right near the bush. Good to have 3 separate rooms with double and queen beds. Nice garden and outdoor area, however, our inquisitive 2 terriers easily got through the front wire fencing. We weren’t able to let them roam free and had to keep them on leashes when outside. Overall, we think it is a lovely place for a small family to stay.
