Spotless comfortable home - well located to surrounding wineries, beaches and a short drive to Dunsborough. Stunning view through the valley to the Indian Ocean.
We stayed there for 3 nights. Property had plenty of space and was very peaceful. Would love to have had the time to sit outside and look at the awesome view. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Beds were comfortable. An enjoyable stay
Beautifully property for large family. Large home and well appointed, plenty of space. Surrounded by nature. Sit back and relax while watching the birds and kangaroos. Highly recommend for your next staycay.
We loved our stay at this home. Our time away was set amongst such peace, tranquility and comfort. I loved just sitting and watching nature unfold. The home is also centrally located and close to magnificent wineries. We will definitely be back - but not soon enough.
Property is beautifully positioned with views down green pastures to the ocean beyond. Lots of kangaroos come twilight time. Property itself is very comfortable & has a lovely feel ( you can tell it’s a much loved family home). Lovely spot & wouldn’t hesitate to return. Joanna is very helpful & informative.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure having your family to stay. Welcome any time
What a find! With a group of 7 we needed a large house and this place delivered. Not only with plenty of beds but also living spaces so we weren’t in each other’s lap for the stay. It was beautifully appointed with everything we needed and easy access to all the usual haunts for tourists in the region.
Joanne, our hostess, provided insightful and thorough information both before our arrival and in booklets at the house
My adult kids loved the kangaroos coming to visit every day. We would definitely visit again if Joanne will host us.

Fiona thankyou so much and what a pleasure having your family - we love to host you again
Spectacular views from every room at the property. Peaceful escape for the family in a beautiful home. The fire in the evening was cosy the beds were comfortable. We all loved watching the birds around the property too.
It was a very nice stay, couldn’t fault Joanna and her hospitality. The beds were comfortable and a great shower. We had a wedding at tiller farm so was only 7min drive
Joanna’s property is very secluded yet close to Dunsborough town and Yallingup beach. It is extremely comfortable, spacious and well appointed, with air conditioning and Wifi. Lots of local wildlife (especially kangaroos and beautiful birds) on your doorstep.
We had an amazing time stay at For the Birds. Having our 6month old travel with us, we were surprised at just how accommodating the place was for children. The baby grand was the cherry on top to the entire experience, being able to place a couple of tunes made bedtime run smoothly. Will definitely be wanting to stay here again the next time we visit the South West. Thank you for having us!
Was a beautiful house with lots of space and functional rooms. Allowed everyone to enjoy time together or have a little bit of their own space shed desired. Lovely waking up to the birds every day. Would highly recommend this place to everyone.
Our beautiful Yallingup siding property was exactly what we were looking for, as a group of 2 families with kids over summer. The house is spacious, clean and so well equipped and the location is in a special pocket with serenity and gorgeous valley views to the ocean yet within easy reach of Yallingup, Dunsborough or Margs.
Joanna was a wonderful host - easy to contact and lots of detail about the property and the local area.
We will happily book again!

Magnificent sprawling peaceful home
Joanna has been an incredible host - email communication has been prompt and instructions have been spot on. The home is neat, decorated beautifully with super comfy furniture and stylish art work. It has everything and above that you would need for a home away from home stay (coffee machine, curling iron - yes!) The home interacts with nature so well with many wall to floor windows throughout the house. The baby grand piano is an absolute bonus and we enjoyed a good family jamming session around it. Beautiful memories made and will definitely be back - often..

Very Welcoming Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday at "For The Birds". The property was spacious and well appointed. It was comfortable and an easy home in which to relax. The outside space was fabulous with its views to the valley and fields and plenty of space for children to enjoy. The tree swings were an added bonus. It was an easy drive to nearby attractions and a lovely haven to come home to after enjoying those attractions. We highly recommend it.

gorgeous location and views
Beautifully located amongst farmland and state forest with views down the rolling paddocks to Geographe Bay. Loved watching the kids play and run around outside, listening to the many song birds and seeing kangaroos at dusk time. Gorgeous wild flowers all around. Kids enjoyed playing the baby grand piano. It was still chilly, so we chopped wood and got the fireplace going, which heated up the room perfectly. The house was very roomy for us, a family of 5 and found it a perfect place to entertain friends outside with the view. We did find the internal layout a little cumbersome, with many doors and no direct outdoor access from the kitchen area, so it didn't 'flow' as well as we thought the location and view would warrant... Overall a very enjoyable stay!

About the host
Hosted by Joanna Boston
Part time consultant and mother of two lovely and spirited boys, I divide my time between managing For The Birds Yallingup, consulting, and renovating my fixer upper in Perth. My down time is spent with friends and family, walking the family dog, a naughty puggle called Henry and escaping to a quiet corner to read or watch the latest British or Scandinavian detective series.
Why they chose this property
Our Story
Hillbrook Farm
My father, a local Busselton GP, fell in love with Hillbrook Farm when driving from Busselton to surfing in Yallingup. He would drive along Abbeys Farm Road just to look at the property. Encouraged by other Busselton Doctors in his practice, Kevin Cullen (Cullen Wines), Mike Peterkin (Pierro Wines) and Bill Pannell (Moss Wood & Picardy wineries), my parents purchased the property in 1978 - we had no farming experience at that time. One of the most picturesque properties in the Yallingup escarpment, Hillbrook Farm totals 260 acres. Bounded by national park on two sides, Hillbrook Farm encompasses 100 acres of native woodland, rolling pastures, ocean views and predominately north facing slopes.
For The Birds Yallingup
In 1984, my parents commissioned a local architect to design our family home to be located at the highest point of Hillbrook Farm. The remit was to design a functional house that maximised the 360-degree views of ocean, valleys & national park, and to comprise two separate wings for parents and children, three spacious living areas, and views from every room.
Completed in in 1986, the house was named For The Birds, due to the abundant bird life surrounding it, the number of girlfriends my brother attracted, and ‘up in the air issues’ of an architecturally challenging roof. The house was permanently occupied by the family until 2013. At this time, my twin sister and I, Lisa and Joanna Boston, took over the ownership and management of the house and Hillbrook Farm.
Since 2013 For The Birds Yallingup has undergone extensive renovation to the house and garden. Upgraded with all 21st century amenities, For The Birds Yallingup is a second home to our families and the guests we host.
