Inspiring Forest Retreat in the Heart of the South-West

The Retreat comprises three large bedrooms – Master retreat with queen bed and French doors leading to a wide verandah, plus two other large bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one a double bed. Spacious, newly appointed gourmet kitchen and open plan living/dining all with inspiring open views to the native forest.

Reconnect with nature through bush walks, bird watching, exploring property tracks and adjacent state forest; or simply sit back with a glass of wine or book on the verandah.

We did a 5 day Winter get away in a pretty spot not too far from Perth. We wanted tranquility, big trees, a warm house with heating and a wood burner, a nice view from a verandah, no neighbours and easy access into town.This property gave us this. We didn’t have any distractions as there isn’t a TV. This might bother some people.Wifi was fine for those who had a Telstra network but only from the end of the driveway. This suited us.We enjoyed the digital detox.My husband and I went with another couple so we enjoyed days out around the nearby areas and then spent early afternoons/ evenings on the large verandah being spotted by the occasional kangaroo. We loved star gazing when we had clear skies.The kitchen had most things you needed but not the extra touches like you might get elsewhere.Everything was very clean. Great hot shower with good water pressure.Nice big living room.I would stay here again even without a TV. Who needs one anyway!

Perfect getaway stay

We've really enjoyed our weekend at Mario and Rebecca's property. The house is very comfortable and warm thanks to a split system unit and the fireplace (plenty of firewood provided). Checking in was easy. Good communication with owners. Location is great, peaceful area with many trees surrounding the house. Thanks!

Perfect quiet spot for a city detox

Lovely house, very homely. Kitchen well supplied. Loved the range of cooking oils and balsamic!! House cold when we arrived but reverse cycle was v efficient and house kept warm. Fabulous deck, sat outside on huge sofa, sipping wine and watching the variety of birds feeding. We’ll be coming back again and again. Thank you Mario !!

Quiet & comfortable

The only things I would perhaps request would be for a few coat hangers ..there was only one old wire hanger on-site. And it would be good to have 2 working bedside lamps in the main bedroom.

Wonderful Secluded Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. The property is gorgeous in winter and we had our own private waterfalls. The fireplace was well stocked with plenty of wood, there's heaps of books and games and we had plenty of fresh bedding and towels. There's no signal on the property (at least from Vodafone and Optus) and no WiFi, so if you need to be contactable, this probably isn't the right place. However, if you're looking to unplug and relax, I thoroughly recommend this gorgeous little cottage. Mario and Rebecca are great hosts and very communicative.

Beautiful house with a soul

It is really nice house and you have everything for a comfortable holiday. Thank you for a possibility to live in it. Only one thing I would like to suggest is the clear statement in the description of the house that there is no wifi & phone reception in the house. It would not stop us to rent the house but I could do better preparation in advance at home for our holiday.

Tracie D.

a little underwhelming

the location is lovely and the beds are comfy but theres no wifi and no little touches to make you feel welcome eg oil to cook an egg, salt and pepper, a microwave etc. the place felt quite sterile and the bedroom door handle came off so we couldnt get in to the bedroom which was a real pain. because theres no wifi we had to drive to a neighbour to ring the owner for assistance. the towels were old and not fluffy. quite disappointing given the price.

Hi Tracie, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your stay was not to your complete satisfaction. Most of our Guests love the seclusion that the property brings with its own private 10 acres of Jarrah and Marri Forest as well as backing on to a further 200 hectares of State Forest. With that brings a nice break from electronic day to day. We are sorry you missed your wifi however this is noted as not included in our stay description. As to the door handle getting stuck we are sorry for this as these things happen. We received your call to attend on 5pm on a weekend evening after which we arranged someone to attend within the 1 hour, which is good timing for a small sleepy South West town on a weekend. We hope that 1 hour did not inconvenience you too much. We are unsure why you had to walk to our neighbour's property to make a call via wifi there? There certainly is mobile reception on our property. We hope you enjoyed your cycle tour. We look forward to having you back sometime if you are looking for a quiet peaceful break away from technology for a few days. Warm Regards Rebecca Forest Redtail Retreat

Tranquil retreat perfect for a family getaway

The property is an older style house set back from a minor road, backing onto a stream out the back. The property was nicely maintained and had adequate facilities. We were advised of some power issues prior to our stay but the host maintained consistent contact to update us. We had some delay in getting the keys to the property but will chalk this up to the other issues with the power, we were only delayed getting in by half an hour. Note that that there is no TV in the house and mobile reception is non existent (we had to drive down the road to get reception), which is probably a positive for a family getaway and getting the kids off screens. The host had provided ample board games to entertain ourselves, but ensure that you plan your outings and check maps whilst in town when you have reception. Overall a lovely experience and we are considering returning again next winter.
