Cape Howe Cottages

Top choice in Southern WA


For a remote getaway, these five cottages in bushland southeast of Denmark really make the grade. They're all different, but all come with well-equipped kitchens, TVs and iPod docks. The best is only 1.5km from dolphin-favoured Lowlands Beach and is properly plush – with a BBQ on the deck.
