Perfect location, quiet surroundings, close to all the scenic spots as well as cosy to just stay home. I Loved the fireplace and my friend loved the big bath!
Magic location, cozy with everything you could want/need. It even had sharp knives. Bed was comfortable and water pressure in the shower was sweet. We would definitely recommend this place.

Thanks Robert,
Glad you enjoyed it. Glad also that you appreciated the edge on the knives. That’s a first! Made my day.
Cheers

Stayed here when my kids were little 25 years ago. Took my mum this time and not much has changed. Beautiful place for a green and peaceful break away. Wonderful fire to keep warm and everything you need for a comfortable holiday away.
Another great break, full of relaxation and a roaring fire every day and night. I can't believe how beautiful the forest is especially waking up in the morning having that first cup of coffee and then later walking through it. Everything you need is just there. Thank you again Peter for the break
Beautiful spot in the forest away from the stress, lots of birds and wildlife around.
We had a great extended weekend down in Boranup Chalet. All is there for your convenience, just perfect! And Thanks to Pete 😉

Didn't take long to unwind and enjoy the surrounding nature reserve with all its sounds and smells. Daily walks with emus and kangaroos was great and the daily drives around the area was breathtaking especially when returning to our "little home". Definitely coming back and sooner rather than later
A Lovely chalet , tucked away in the forrest, with beautiful surroundings, very well equipped and centrally located. If we can summarise in Two words it will be: Peace and Tranquillity.
Just what our family (including the dog) needed to reset for the school holidays. We loved the property so much we limited going out to explore. Red tailed black cockatoo’s visiting each day. A family of emu’s also popped in to say ‘Hi’ most days. A very special stay.
We loved our time here. And our Border Terrier, Pippa, especially loved brief and safe encounters with kangaroos and emus during our many walks. The native flowers and birds were wonderful, especially the Golden Whistler. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We hope to return in the early autumn, 2024.

Hello Karen,
Thanks for the wonderful review. The golden whistler is always amazing and incredibly loud. I’ve got to get down there myself more often!!!! Hope to hear from you again.

The property is very well equipped and very comfortable. Communication is poor and the TV could not be operated. That was not a great concern. Had a great time. Thank You.

Chalet in the storm
We had a much needed break away.
There were wild storms, rain, thunder and lightning.
It was amazing watching this all going on in front of the beautiful roaring fire.
We loved it just wish we had longer.
Thank you

Bush setting
Quiet bush setting and peaceful. Lovely hot shower but spa outlets need cleaning so didn’t use the spa bath. Interior lighting especially in lounge area needs to be improved & made brighter as too dark. Would’ve been nice to have milk to start with tea/ coffee. Overall a relaxing place to stay near the caves
