Dunsborough Rail Carriages & Farm Cottages

Relaxing 100 acre farm and forest property, featured on Channel 9's Postcards WA and Getaway, only minutes from Dunsborough town centre and the beach. We have accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets from couples to large family groups.

Awaken to birdsong on 100 acres of farm and bush land. Unwind away from the larger retreats and enjoy our unique, lovingly restored jarrah carriages, our standard two bedroom cedar cottages, our deluxe two bedroom brick and cedar cottages, or the four bedroom Farm House.

Bask in the tranquility of country life and relax to the sound of the wind as it flows through the peppermint and gum trees.

Have a relaxing breakfast on the verandah while watching the friendly kangaroos, or take a leisurely stroll as the chickens scurry. Collect eggs, feed the kangaroos, give a carrot to Spirit & Star our miniature ponies.

We pride ourselves on personalized service and great value for money accommodation.

The beautiful beaches at Dunsborough and Yallingup, restaurants, wineries, horse riding, golf, fishing, surfing and sailing are only minutes away.

We are just over 2km from Dunsborough, 1km from the beach, and Simmo's Ice Creamery is the adjacent property.

You can even bring your dog on holiday with you (conditions apply). Dogs are allowed inside, but off the furniture. A one off charge of $10 applies to dogs due to additional cleaning and hygiene steps taken on your departure.
