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.

Awaken to birdsong on 100 acres of farm and bush land. Unwind away from the larger retreats and enjoy our unique, lovingly restored jarrah carriages, our standard two bedroom cedar cottages, our deluxe two bedroom brick and cedar cottages, or the four bedroom Farm House.

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.

The Deluxe Cottage includes spa bath, reverse cycle air conditioner, big screen TV, DVD, pot belly stove, linen & towels, washing machine and bbq.

The Standard Cottage includes TV, DVD, pot belly stove, linen & towels, washing machine and bbq.

The Carriages are designed for couples, but we can add up to two foldabeds for additional guests. They include a TV, DVD, reverse cycle air conditioner, oil heater, linen & towels, shared bbq, and a verandah looking over the forest.

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.

We pride ourselves on personalized service and great value for money accommodation.

The beautiful beaches at Dunsborough and Yallingup, restaurants, wineries, horse riding, golf, fishing, surfing and sailing are only minutes away.
