Description

** School holiday availability is detailed below **

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.

  • "Very nice property- comfortable and deluxe cottage was very spacious for the four of us and the dog. Cute farm animals and wild kangaroos were gorgeous. Thanks very much!"

  • "The cottage was very comfortable and the owner was very helpful and charming. We loved all the animals and the very peaceful atmosphere at the property."

  • "The carriages were such a delight and perfectly situated for our love of the outdoors. To have your private little porch outside the carriage for a morning cuppa, was bliss and to share that with the property chickens and kangaroos and other wildlife made it all more perfect. A wonderful relaxing and unique Dunsborough experience!"

  • "A wonderful stay although the carriage accommodation were very basic and the heating arrandement needs to be upgraded for the colder periods. The accomodation was clean and the host very obliging and all in all we had an enjoyable stay."

  • "What a great place to stay, the cottage was very spacious and clean. Our 20 month old was able to enjoy the surroundings and enjoyed not being confined to a small motel unit like we have had in the past elsewhere. The farm atmosphere was great, especialy the tame chickens and kangaroos and she loved being able to feed these and get so close. We were at Dunsborough for an annual motorsport competition which can be quite stressful and fast paced but the cottage was a great place to come back to to unwind and relax and we will be staying again next year. The owners were very accomodating to allow us to have friends back for a bbq and the bbq and cottage facilities and supplied wood for the wood stove were much appreciated."
    Amanda, December 2007
     
  • "We had a wonderful stay at the farm house - three couples, one infant, one dog, all perfectly accommodated. Would definitely recommend for joint-family holidays as there is lots of room for the kids. The yard wasn't fenced in, which meant our dog had to be supervised when outside, but that was manageable and he also had a great time even though he wasn't allowed to eat the chickens :-)"

  • "A most beautiful and peaceful place that's really close to Dunsborough centre and the beach. The carriages are really well equipt and very cute! My dog was welcome and we had a fantastic relaxing stay. Thanks David :)"
