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
Overall we were happy with the stay. The house was isolated and in a beautiful spot with the river and valleys. Breathaking views that I will miss. The house is as just listed, not the cleanest or neatest. Main issue is the red dirt road 4-5km to get to the property. Thankfully it was raining the last few days otherwise your car's back windscreen will be covered. If that is not an issue I would recommend this place to you.

Beds were comfortable and views were amazing. Sitting out on the balcony after a long obstacle course listening to the birds was just bliss.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Absolutely loved the views and birdlife. We already miss it.
The road leading to the farm has breathtaking views, even on misty mornings.

Paradise on the Blackwood
Quaint farmhouse in a picturesque location with the river on the doorstep. We enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Roebank, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. The accommodation was clean and cosy with everything we needed and host, Julie, was very accommodating and easy to contact/communicate with. The huge open fireplace downstairs was an absolute dream! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Not 28km from Nannup as stated
Julie the owner was lovely and very accommodating.
Only issues was that it stated 28km from Nannup which maybe true for a crow. Please change on the listing to 54km by car

Rustic Charm at Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage
My time at Roebank on the River Cottage was a peaceful getaway. Julie was so kind to offer to let me come back after my trip got cut short due to work.
The rugged beauty of the landscape with the river so close created a tranquil atmosphere. Chilling on the upstairs balcony felt like staring at a beautiful painting because of the view.
The cottage is old and basic but I found this just added to its charm. I'm a nature lover, so watching the wildlife and feeding the sheep was heartwarming.
Roebank is a rustic gem for a calming farm stay. Can't wait to return to this cozy retreat of rustic charm and friendly hospitality.

Misleading photos
Photos on website are nothing like what the property looks now.
Outside vegetation is overgrown and there is sheep poo everywhere.
In side the house is infested with spiders, earwigs and cockroaches, even inside kitchen cupboards and appliances.
The house is poorly maintained, with fly nets falling off and bathroom window glass almost falling out. Light bulbs missing, and lots and lots of spiderwebs everywhere.
Beddings and towels did not smell nice and when washed the water came out brown.
Overall cleanliness was poor.
Location was amazing, and surroundings with beautiful views. Stay was relatively cheap, but definitely not worth it.
Overall rating :
Very good for location
Poor for everything else, not worth the price.

Country cottage
Property needs lots of attention. Cupboards need to be cleaned out and excess clutter removed. Position great but cottage very rundown.

Pictures are not accurate
The house has an awful smell of old damp carpet. We did not sleep in the bedrooms because we couldn't stand the smell of the the rooms. We all slept in the living room. The kitchen cabinets were not clean as well, we found a spider inside. We tried to communicate this feedback on our first night but the property manager said this is the first time they hard such comment. Looking at the reviews I think she is mistaken. There were few who shared the same views as ours. So totally not worth the money.

Peaceful Riverside Setting
Overall the facilities were good. The beds comfortable, everything you need is there. Wonderful view in an isolated country setting by the river. The house has old furniture and a casual feel but roomy.

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
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.
