We invite you to share our original mill house, located in the Dwellingup Heritage Precinct. Dwellingup is a small town set in the jarrah forest, 100 km from Perth. The mill house has been renovated so that you will be cosy and comfortable during your stay. The extensive, well-maintained gardens surrounding the cottage are glorious, and filled with bird life.

The comfortable lounge room has a slow-combustion wood burning fire place and reverse cycle air-conditioning. The well-stocked kitchen has all the appliances and crockery you will need if you choose to eat in. There are three bedrooms: the main bedroom has a queen bed; the second bedroom has two single beds; the small third bedroom has a double bed. All three bedrooms are made up with Sheridan bed linen and warm quilts and blankets. In the bathroom, there is continuous hot water for your bath or shower. There is a large paved undercover area at the back of the cottage, with a gas barbecue and outdoor dining setting.

Locality

Dwellingup is less than an hour and a half drive south of Perth and is set among lovely jarrah forest. There is plenty to do and see in the area. The Hotham Valley steam train comes to Dwellingup, and there is a steam train ride into the forest. The Bibbulmun Track passes through, as does the Munda Biddi cycle trail. The Murray River and Lane Poole Reserve are 10 minutes away by car. There is a lovely cafe in town, as well as several wineries and orchards nearby. The Forest Heritage Centre and the School of Fine Wood gallery are well worth a visit. The Visitor Centre has information about walking, cycling and canoeing in the area, and a fascinating display of photographs and memorabilia from the disastrous bushfire of 1961. Mountain biking and canoeing equipment are available for hire in Dwellingup.

Property

This is a large (approximately 2000 square metres), private, attractive corner property, with well-maintained beautiful gardens. The cottage is an original mill house, apparently dating from the 1910s. It has been renovated and redecorated to provide very comfortable modern living. It is located near the edge of town, overlooking the State Forest, yet an easy walk from the centre of Dwellingup.

We are located close to the long-distance Bibbulmun Track, as well as the Munda Biddi cycle trail. Our cottage is 50 metres from the State Forest surrounding Dwellingup. You can wander at will through the forest, or the Visitor's Centre provides maps and guides to local walks and cycle rides.

Romantic getaway

Wood fire.

3 bedroom mill house is a small, historic weatherboard cottage nestled in a large, lovely garden with lots of private nooks. Feel peaceful and secluded on the edge of town in your own private cottage. In winter, snuggle on the large, comfortable sofa in front of the cosy log fire. Cook your own romantic dinner to eat at home by candlelight, or stroll into town to eat at the nearby restaurant or local pub.

Winter Holiday

Log fire, Winter activities available nearby detailed below.

The mill house is a wonderful place for a cosy and relaxing or an invigorating and energetic winter holiday. If you just want to relax, a gentle stroll through the bush or to the local galleries and shops might be as far as you venture. Within a short drive, there are a couple of wineries and a cidery to visit. For the more energetic, the nearby Murray River has thrilling white-water kayaking and rafting after winter rains. The forest is alive with flowers and birds, making bush walking a popular activity in the cooler weather. Mountain bike riding is another very popular activity, with competitive downhill cycling an important event in the Dwellingup calendar. In the evening, a warm bath and then relaxing in front of the wood fire with a glass of wine or a hot drink is a real treat.
