Banyandah | Dog Friendly | Family & Groups Welcome
STRA - STRA6285I4XIF48E

Welcome to Banyandah, an Aboriginal word meaning “home on the water” — and once you stay, you’ll understand why. This architecturally designed, family-friendly retreat sits just across from the stunning Margaret River, surrounded by tall trees and visiting wildlife. With space for up to eight guests, it’s the perfect haven for families or groups seeking a peaceful escape.
Wake to the sounds of nature, explore river trails or nearby wineries, then return to unwind by the custom-built fireplace.
