About this property
Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage, Farm stay and Homestead
The Blackwood Farm cottage is located 9km from Bridgetown and straddles 1.5km of the Blackwood river.
This 2 story farmhouse has sweeping views of the Blackwood river and the surrounding valley with a large outdoor decking area to take it all in.
The cottage features a wood ooen fire place and heated by a reverse cycle air con . 3 bedrooms, separate bathroom, kitchen and appliances.note firewood is not supplied byo wood ( some paddock wood available for fire pits)
This is a true farm house style home and guest should expect a “no frills” standard in the home.
Nestled on a hobby farm complete with the sheep and geese.
Come and enjoy the quiet serenity of the beautiful bush land and river.
Child Supervision
Roebank is a working hobby farm and bordered by the Blackwood River which poses risks to young children. Make sure children are supervised at all time as there is unfenced water, steep embankments and farming equipment.
Children should also be supervised at all times when on the balcony, to assist in isolating this area from children there is a key attached to the wall above sliding door. Children under 12 years old are not suitable guests
Established in 1890 sitting on 59 hectares

About the host

Why they chose this property
Roebank Farm and the neighbouring Peninsula House both have historical significance in Bridgetown and were part of the first settlement in this area.
This delightful hideaway is located just 10kms from the heart of Bridgetown and after a short journey along a gravel road you’ll find our three character residences perched along the river bank with breath taking views of the sweeping valley.
The Roebank Cottage was built in 1890 by the grand-daughter of John Septimus Roe who was a famous civil engineer who contributed to the original town planning of Perth and Roebourne. It was constructed using clay bricks sourced from the local area. The original dwellings on the property were made from wood but unfortunately they did not survive the bushfires over the past 150 years.
The Riverbank Homestead was added to the the property in 1970s and has been built into the riverbank elevations to maximise views of the scenic Blackwood River from all areas of the home.
In the 19th century Roebank was primarily a sheep grazing farm and the original shearing sheds that stand today were used sheep farmers around the district. Farming activities have ranged from orchids, cattle, sheep and goats and today is a family hobby farm and accommodation for tourists.
