Orchard Cottage—Romantic Bushland Wellness Retreat

Summary:
Escape to a peaceful countryside retreat where cosy comforts and tranquil surroundings invite you to truly switch off. Blending rustic charm with modern comfort, this cottage invites you to unwind by the crackling wood fireplace, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, and recharge in the shared wellness retreat with an outdoor bath and sauna. End the day around the fire pit beneath star-filled skies after exploring the wineries, beaches and scenic walking trails nearby.

The Space:
Nestled within native bushland on a working orchard, this character-filled cottage is designed for cosy country escapes. The open-plan living area centres around a comfortable lounge, where the wood-burning fireplace, Smart TV with Netflix, Wi-Fi, books and board games create the perfect setting for cosy evenings in.

The well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare everything from leisurely breakfasts to relaxed evening meals, complete with an electric cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and Nespresso-compatible coffee machine. Gather around the dining table to linger over long lunches or enjoy a glass of Margaret River wine as the day winds down.

Outside, you'll find a collection of inviting spaces to enjoy throughout the day. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the surrounding trees, or fire up the BBQ for an alfresco meal on the patio after a day exploring the coast. As evening falls, the fire pit becomes the perfect place to toast marshmallows and admire the stars. Beyond, a timber boardwalk leads to the shared wellness zone, where a sauna, outdoor bath, and open-air shower create a restorative retreat nestled amongst native landscaping. This space is shared with the neighbouring homestead.

The primary bedroom features a queen bed and calming neutral styling, creating a restful retreat after a day of exploring. The second bedroom includes a single bunk bed, making it ideal for children. The contemporary bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and stylish finishes.

Secure garage parking is available for guest use. Please note that the kitchen does not include an oven.
