About this property

Tonic—Family Bushland Retreat near Yallingup Beach

Summary:

Unplug and reconnect at this stylish bushland retreat tucked away in the Yallingup Hills. From sipping wine by the fire pit to enjoying a breakfast on the private deck, every detail invites you to slow down and soak up the serene surroundings. With multiple alfresco zones, two living areas, and a self-contained studio suite, there’s space for everyone to relax and recharge. Just a short drive from Yallingup Beach and world-class wineries, this home is an ideal base for your coastal adventures.



The Space:

Set beneath a canopy of native trees and surrounded by gardens, this home offers a calm and welcoming atmosphere. In the main living area, unwind on the L-shaped sofa by the fireplace, with music through the Sonos system. A second living room offers a playful nook for little ones to read, play games, or draw on the chalkboard wall.



Prepare a gourmet feast in the well-equipped kitchen featuring an electric oven, walk-in pantry, Nespresso machine, and Corian benchtops. Dine at the timber table or enjoy alfresco BBQs beneath the louvred roof. Spend afternoons by the fire pit or lounging in the sun while the kids play on the lawn.



The generous back deck is a highlight — perfect for long, unhurried afternoons. With deck chairs and beanbags, it’s ideal for reading, sipping local wine, or soaking in the bushland views. As the sun sets, light filters through the trees and the sky glows red, creating a peaceful close to the day.



At night, retreat to five tranquil bedrooms with leafy outlooks. The primary suite features a king four-poster bed and an ensuite. Two queen rooms and a children’s room with a bunk bed and chalkboard wall share a family bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathtub. Steps from the main house, a self-contained studio suite offers a queen bed, ensuite, bar fridge, TV, and split-system air conditioning — a private hideaway with dam views.



A study nook offers a quiet workspace. Laundry is made easy with a washer and dryer. Firewood is supplied in winter, and additional wood can be purchased locally outside of the season. Enjoy ultimate comfort with reverse-cycle air conditioning in the main living area, primary suite, and fifth bedroom, plus heaters and pedestal fans in all bedrooms. Driveway parking includes a 220kW EV charger — three times faster than standard.



This off-grid, eco-conscious retreat runs on solar power and fresh rainwater, with a solar battery and high-speed EV charger. Overlooking native bushland, it offers a true nature-immersion stay where guests can slow down, reconnect, and embrace the forest's quiet rhythms.

This is the second time our multi generational family have stayed here. The Grandparents enjoyed the quiet relaxing area, while the other adults loved the convenience of the location which is close to many points of interest and the children loved the bush setting with kangaroos often visiting. We all hope to return again next year.

Annual Family Getaway

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It is in an ideal location with easy access to everything but still in a quiet bush setting with daily visits from the local kangaroos. The house itself was ideal for our family of three generations. There was plenty of room for us all to either get together or head off to a quiet spot to read. We are all hoping to return next year.

Weekend getaway

The property was a great size for 8 adults, plenty of space inside and out. The area is beautiful, with lots of friendly kangaroos (and their joeys!). An easy drive to the beach and plenty of restaurants and wineries.

Great stay overall

Fantastic house layout for a family holiday. Very spacious and lovely light main living area. Good location for us with a 2 year old lots of garden to roam around in. A few little added touches would have been the cherry on top. Crockey and cutlery looks like it was bought at an op shop. Floors were not very clean on arrival and there was no hand wash in bathrooms only a little bar of soap with no soap holder so the counter tops get all soapy. These are small things though and we would be back.
