Great secluded location

Had a wonderful time away from it all. Enjoyed the seclusion and being able to explore so much bush. Loved our evening visits from the three possums who love apple, and the kangaroos too. Great to sit in front of the open fireplace with a glass of red.

Thank you, Jason, for sharing Clearhills with us. I highly recommend you as a guest to other hosts as you looked after our cottage as though it was your own. The possums and kangaroos love our guests as we find the people who book have such a great respect for nature too. Thank you, you're most welcome to stay again :)

Great isolated location. Peaceful bush. We had a great time with plenty of things for the kids (6 and 8 years) to do. Kangaroos, possums, birds. Firepit fun roasting marshmallows.

Private stone walled cottage

Charming cottage, with unusual artifacts on walls, extremely well stocked from a kitchen point of view, to the extent of being a bit overcluttered. Plenty of sports type equipment for older kids, but did find it a bit isolated.

Simply the best

Another stay at this amazing property, very clean, very well equipped kitchen with everything you need and the extras are a plus. The beds and couches are comfortable too. We loved the cold nights in front of the fireplace with heaps of wood supplied. It’s a great place to just relax and watch the world go by, or to go exploring the forest and river. We’re definitely coming back. Thank you Penni

Bush retreat

This property is perfectly located in the bush. Penni has thought of everything with so many activities in the house for kids and adults. The house was immaculately cleaned. The kitchen had all utensils you could imagine. The kids loved the interaction with the kangaroo. It's a short walk to the river. The kids scored it as the ' best holiday house ever!'. If you are looking for a quiet retreat this is perfect.

Fantastic place to unwind

We had a wonderful stay at Clearhills. This is great place to get away from day to day life. Penni more than met our expectations with the house, all the little extras in the pantry and a kitchen with all you could think of that made meals simple. Enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony with the sun rising through the mist. Made great use of both the outdoor fire pit and the indoor fireplace. Penni was easy to helpful and eash to communicate with. Will be back for another stay.

Perfect Family Accomodation

We stayed at this property for 5 nights with a family of 2 adults and 3 kids. It was absolutely perfect for our family. The house is extremely well equipped in every room. The lounge room was very comfortable especially the open fire. The balcony was a great outdoor space that the kids especially enjoyed with the dart board and lounge/chairs. The location is remote but we really enjoyed being alone in the forest and the possums and kangaroo that visited daily was an extra treat for the kids and adults alike. The owner Penni was very accomodating and I can't wait till we can return to this fabulous holiday home in the forest.

Delightfully cozy "offline" winter getaway

We had a lovely stay at Clearhills. The extra amenities and thoughtful touches throughout the cottage were great value and really made us feel at home. Enjoying a coffee on the balcony each morning while overlooking the misty forest was a wonderful way to start the day, and warming ourselves by the wood fire each evening with some good old fashioned conversation was a fantastic way to end the day. The extra snacks provided for evening possum visits was a delightful touch. Some visitors might be lost without phone reception and WiFi, but we found it rejuvenating. Thank you Penni, we can't wait to come back!

feeling one with nature

How to say it was such a wonderful house and surrounding. My young niece was just amazed by Australian fauna and specially the cute possum coming to her hand to be fed. The house is just wonderful and the bush gorgeous. We felt like part of the bush thanks to the "pets" who lives around the house and the beutiful wildflowers. We teally appreciate as well the treats left and the home made game. We couldn't find the mushrooms though! A big thanks to have allowed us to live in this magical place.

We stayed at Clearhills for 4 night over Valentines and it was AMAZING! We were looking to unplug and relax and that is exactly what we did, only leaving the house once during our time there, to go get some more milk and fruit for the animals. I had been worried it maybe too hot during the days to just sit outside and watch the birds go by, but this place has plenty of shade and a beautiful breeze. I have no idea how, but the inside of the house stays cool all day, we used the aircon once and it within 20 minutes turned it off again. We didn't want to leave and now we can't wait to go back and experience Clearhills in the winter.

A magical escape…….

The property and house was as advertised. It was clean, spacious, quiet and secluded. All amenities were catered for. The possums were an absolute joy to hand feed….the white tailed one even used my finger to balance themselves on 🤩 The monitor lizard said hi on 2 afternoons but unfortunately the kangaroos were too shy to make an appearance. Neighbouring towns were easy to visit with lots of interesting things to do and see. Penni was very easy to contact and communicate with. Would I recommend this gem to others….definitely. And on a final note…the bed IS one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Thank you Penni for sharing this with us. Regards Amanda and Trevor (Nov 21)

5 nights in paradise

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a property! Total seclusion, except for the myriad of birds flitting about the yard, kangaroos near the house and of course the possums arriving for a nightly feed of apple. The house has everything you need and feels very much like 'home'. The main bed is the comfiest we've slept in for ages, leading to lazy starts to the day. This is the break we so needed. Mornings spent on the sunny veranda watching the birds and afternoons exploring the local area, including Nannup, Bridgetown, Manjimup and Augusta. All an easy drive and lots to see on the way. Nights we snuggled up in front of the wood fire playing a game, watching a movie or reading a book. We couldn't give this property a higher rating. Recommended to anyone needing a break from their crazy life. Ali and Derek

Heavenly

Five stars. Where do I start? We are 2 couples who have been going to the South West twice a year for over 10 years. We have stayed in a lot of places and unfortunately they quite often leave a lot to be desired. This has everything and is our favourite. Our 4 nights was not long enough. Penni has provided everything for a very comfortable stay. Comfy lounge furniture for us all to relax and fall asleep in the evenings. Fantastic inglenook fireplace and plenty of wood. Comfy beds, pillows and linen. Strong hot showers and enough towel rails. Fully equipped kitchen. Misty mornings on the deck with breakfast. Great, comfortable outdoor furniture. It is a true home from home and so peaceful and secluded. Only a 20 minute drive from Nannup. Great meals and atmosphere at the Brewing Company and a nice lunch at Pickle and O. Coming back to the cottage on Cundinup Road we found a real treat just by chance. Out n about egg farm. Stop on the roadside and the free range chickens run to the fence to meet you, and you can buy the fresh eggs at the honour system shed there. There are over a dozen caravans dotted around and this is where the girls sleep! The children will love it! Lastly the possums come out at night and that is a real treat to feed them, they are so cute. We loved, loved this place and will definitely be back.

Peaceful Bliss

A quiet and quaint hide-away immersed in nature. My husband and I were able to truly relax and spend quality time together. Morning walks down to the river, evenings with a glass of wine by the fireplace. We absolutely adored meeting the resident possums and listening to the sounds of nature and sometimes complete silence. The property is clearly loved by the owners, it really felt like a home away from home. Thank you Penni for sharing such a special place with others. We feel truly blessed and relaxed.
