Jane was amazing to deal with, from start to finish.The location was awesome (didn’t feel the chaos that is the school holidays in the south west) and Boranup Cottage is a character home that has everything you need.Thanks Jane
The property was more of a family home ,just loved the decor and the extra touches that made a very comfortable stay ,we would have stayed longer with hindsight.A much underarated property in a fabulous situation
We had a lovely stay at Boranup Cottage in amongst the trees & the birds.
The cottage had everything we needed & was certainly comfortable.
It is a nice getaway for peace & tranquility.
Boranup Cottage is unique, quirky, comfortable and peaceful. We loved the eclectic decor and furnishings, the cosey fire and being surrounded by trees and the night sky.
Jane was super helpful and friendly, quick to respond and answer any queries.
It's in an excellent location for exploring the caves and everything between the capes.
Highly recommend staying here.
A tranquil, down to earth retreat from the hustle and bustle
Well equipped cottage, waking up to the sounds of nature was bliss.
Jane is a great host who was very receptive when required.

A lovely earthy cottage, warm and comfortable in a beautiful setting. very peaceful. We loved being able to walk the path to the cafe in the mornings for a coffee.
Well equipped cottage that is perfect for 3-4 people. We were glad we had the wood fire as the nights were quite cold. The location is perfect - 20min away from the Margaret River hustle surrounded by peaceful woods.

Lovely cottage- nice and quite.
Was a great little place for the 2 of us. Located in the heart of the Boranup forest and caves area. 20min Margaret river.
The property was situated in a quiet area of Boranup Forest and nestled back enough from Caves Road that it was completely silent which is exactly what we wanted. Very tranquil, lovely bird song to wake you up in the morning and the gallery and adjacent Pies and Ale restaurant were stand outs and places we recommend to visit. We also go engaged on this trip at the close location of Hamelin Bay - so this trip was extra special for us!
This was our second stay at the beautiful Boranup Cottage. It was just as perfect as the first time. An idyllic and peaceful getaway. The setting is beautiful and the cottage is well-equipped and warm. The beds are so comfy. We were grateful for the generous supply of firelighters and matches as the evenings were cooler, so we enjoyed the log fire. The kitchen has many extra supplies which is always a bonus. There is an endless supply of fresh towels, soaps, etc too. The shower is hot and spacious. Jane was very prompt to help us find access to the wifi on arrival when we needed assistance. The best thing is that we can bring our fur baby and she loved her holiday as much as we did! We will be sure to be back as we are totally in love with this cottage and the Boranup forest. Thank you Jane for hosting us.
Our stay at Boranup cottage was a wonderful getaway and we thoroughly enjoyed the serenity and peace of the forest around us. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed. We also appreciated being able to take our 'fur-child' with! The only thing I would say is that the mattresses on the sleeper couches were very thin and not very comfortable for my children to sleep on. But we would love to visit again!
Accuracy of online listing exactly as it looks. A fantastic rustic feel cottage with a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by the Boranup forest filled with birds of all kinds which come and visit on the doorstep. Perfect location for daily visits to Margs, the caves and the must see snorkel site at Redgate beach. We'll come again!
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The kitchen and house was very well equipped with everything I needed. Master bed was super comfy. The storm was raging outside, but the rammed earth construction makes the house safe and warm. The fire was a bonus but not really needed as the house was so well insulated. If you are looking for something off the track, and tucked up in the bush, then this is perfect. Phone reception is lousy, but for me, that was a bonus!!
The cottage is situated in partially cleared forest, just south of the Margaret River township. Kangaroos and emus are often heard and sometimes seen - very exciting for our dog! Early morning walks through the planted native gardens are wonderful - the flowers of grevilleas and banksias and hakeas and other flowering bushes and trees attract a myriad of birds - also exciting for our dog! Boranup Cottage is a very peaceful and relaxing holiday destination, that is also well situated for visits to all the tourist and natural experiences in the Margaret River/Augusta region. It is highly recommended, especially by Pippa, our Border Terrier!!
We loved being in this little haven with its fabulous hot tub- comfy lounge and kitchen was well supplied.It is picturesque and private.
Our dog loved it too.
Firewood was all chopped and ready to go.
The third room was really more like a bathroom/ laundry and would have been very cold to sleep in at this time of year if needing to use the extra bed- we were happy in the two bedrooms provided.
I would have loved an electric blanket ☺️to make it even warmer as it was a very cold week.
We would definitely come back and highly recommend.
Jane was very helpful when I contacted her.
Thank you.

Lovely property but issues with lights and mice
Lovely setting and nice cottage. Not really 3 bedrooms but there is a spa/store area that can be set up as 3rd bedroom. We had some issues with mice and lights not working (property manager investigating). Due to the location mobile coverage is intermittent but you can get a more stable signal walking up the driveway.
A little tired in its presentation, very poor cork floor tiles, damaged fly screens, microwave not working (located new unit in storage area and installed it) BBQ didn’t get hot enough to cook. No door to vanity room, Bedroom door difficult to close/open hence noisy. Its a shame as the location is idyllic, a few less flies and flying ants would have been good, the proximity to a delightful cafe was a bonus after doing the tourist thing each day, Would we book again, probably yes but earlier in the year,
