What to do?
If you manage to drag yourself away from the peace and quiet of Peppy Beach then you can stay close to home with walks in the forest or a visit to the local wineries (incl. Capel Vale 5mins). It's a 20min drive to Busselton through picturesque Ludlow and Tuart Drive, or Bunbury just up the highway. Both offer a variety of shops restaurants and cinemas. Busselton has one of the last drive-in cinemas.

Not too far away are the well known and diverse attractions of Dunsborough, Margaret River and the Southwest. Just Google any of these and you'll find something for everyone. Information booklet at the house with local food outlets and tourist information.

A short drive takes you to Capel where you will find an IGA, bottleshop, pub (TAB), takeaway food, cafes, GP's, newspapers, bait and tackle etc. Newly reopened caravan park has a small shop, bottle shop and make some lovely pizzas!

There are several beach launching spots and a marina boat ramp 15mins away (Port Geographe). A large stainless steel double sink is provided outside to clean your catch of fish etc.

Serenity Now relies on bottled LPG for gas to the house.

If no hot water, first double check that the gas cooktop is also not lighting, if not working then go to Gas Bottles:
- Gas bottles are located RHS of house (side next to vacant block).
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the empty gas bottle OFF (clockwise).
- You then move the changeover valve lever (our one is copper) to point towards the other (full) gas bottle.
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the full gas bottle ON (anti-clockwise).
- Please let us know when you swap bottles so we can order a replacement.
