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.

The Farm House has a full country kitchen with dishwasher, reverse cycle air conditioner, Foxtel, two lounges each with TV, DVD and pot belly stove with fire wood provided, washing machine, bbq, linen & towels, and a large grassed area next to the pony paddock.

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.
