Superb location with wonderfully appointed rooms and excellent facilities and atmosphere. You are on the sands of Brighton beach in under one minute of walking and close to all of the boardwalk restaurant section of Scarborough in under three minutes.
Xavier and Sev were more than delightful hosts and made every effort to make our stay wonderful including an 'after Christmas' party with the other guests. Our 11 year old son on his first visit to Australia pretty much summed it up with the comment, 'Can we stay here?'
We are pre-booking for our next visit...

Living 350km south of Perth, we regularly have overnight stays in Perth. I got sick of the city pretty quickly with parking issues and hit and miss choice for rooms. I fell in love with the pool and beach at Rendezvous Observation City in Scarborought and have stayed there regulary over the past few years.

This time I thought I might try another place in Scarborough and found Beach Manor on the internet. After reading some reviews I made the booking; the room acually cost aroung the same and breakfast is included in the room price.

Good choice I think. Beachfront location close to restaurants and bars. The pool is delicious and so was breakfast. Parking is free and no hassle. This b&b has Wonderful attentive and competent staff in welcoming and relaxed surroundings.

We met with the owner briefly, and she was so laid back, the place really reflects her personality. Beach Manor is custom made for relaxation. Staff Xavier and Emma could not do enough for us, and I found the decor interesting and quirky. Original artworks are on the walls, and every room is different. This was so refreshing after so many stays in anal hotels with sterile decor, incompetent trainee staff, and stupid electonic door keys that never work porperly.

The beach room was lovely, nice big bathroom, and the bed was comfy. The feather doonah was a bit hot for December though, maybe a light cotton blanket option? I am keen to try out some of the other rooms for sure!

Breakfast is a full cooked breaky made fresh for us. Fresh fruit and cereal. Plenty there, and served with a smile.

Did I mention how awesome the pool is? It contains magnesuim and is clean and sparkling and the temperature was perfect! I am always a sucker for a nice pool. Not sure what was going on with the spa though, did not seem to be working. Still, my new favourite beachfront heated pool in Perth!

Highly Recommended.

I arrived from Sydney at about 9pm. At first I wasn't sure if I had the location right, as it more resembled a beach side manshion than a b&b and in the dark the sign posting wasn't great. I came inside and upstairs where I was greatest by Xavier who was extremely welcoming and friendly. Xavier even came down and got my bad from the car and carried it all the way to the room.
The room was on the small side, but you soon forget that when you see the Sistine chapel painted ceiling and beautifully decorated 4 poster bed! Amenities in the room are good, not mind blowing but there is a DVD player and tv, as well as small fridge and there is also a lovely little private ensuite. On the downside, the fridge was noisy (but I just switched it off), but other than that no complaints and the bed was extremely comfortable.
Breakfast was simple but good with fresh fruit and cereals available, as well as bacon and eggs, plus it was by the wonderful pool they have which is something out of an island resort.

All in all thoroughly recommend if you enjoy staying in b&bs

We would not generally choose a B&B - having had a career in hospitality I am so used to staying in Hotels & 'choosing' total privacy. The thought of having to sit at a table for breakfast & having to socialise with strangers is not my personal cup of tea (even though I am fairly outgoing!) But.........we loved our stay at the Beach Manor! If you are privacy phobics then choose the Indian Ocean suite! It's huge, two living areas, own entrance, best views in the house, wonderful bedroom & bathroom. Honestly - it was like we were renting a property on the beach - all to ourselves! The staff were professional & attentive but friendly, very quiet location but within a very short walk of the Scarborough esplanade of restaurants, shopping, & great coffee. The pool area is a stunning intimate oasis with a mix of sunny & undercover lounge areas. Breakfast by the pool was lovely - even had a table for two (thus catering for my 'phobia' !)
Memorable moments include:
- toasting the sunset & view (through huge glass walls) in our own private living room,
nestled together in a deep comfy sofa, under a ceiling of stars (yes they are in the ceiling!)
- strolling along the esplanade
- vegetating & enjoying our comfy living rooms
- waking up to THAT view every day
- a chance meeting with the owners Erin & Rick - thanks for the entertaining banter!

Regrets?...........we never got to use the huge spa!! & should have stayed at least another night!
Having now stayed in Scarborough we have realised it's not far from the city at all. On our next trip to Perth we will seriously considering not choosing the city at all. Instead of paying a fortune to stay in a poky hotel room, we would rather choose the Beach Manor. We found the tariffs very competitive, if not less than the city hotels - even for the best room in the house! We will definitely be back! Thanks for an excellent experience in a B&B!
