Spectacular veiw and location. Good amount of kitchen equipment. Basic amenities. The house needed a really good clean, the carpets were scary and the lower level smelt of mould. I did appreciate the ability for 5 adults to stay under one roof. Thank you.

Stunning views makes this place special. Host is very pleasant and helpful. As advertised it's a no-frills place. Could do with a spring-clean/declutter and a good cob-webbing. Comfortable beds, plenty of space to relax, beautiful scenery and peaceful.

Serenity

Overall we were happy with the stay. The house was isolated and in a beautiful spot with the river and valleys. Breathaking views that I will miss. The house is as just listed, not the cleanest or neatest. Main issue is the red dirt road 4-5km to get to the property. Thankfully it was raining the last few days otherwise your car's back windscreen will be covered. If that is not an issue I would recommend this place to you.

Pictures are not accurate

The house has an awful smell of old damp carpet. We did not sleep in the bedrooms because we couldn't stand the smell of the the rooms. We all slept in the living room. The kitchen cabinets were not clean as well, we found a spider inside. We tried to communicate this feedback on our first night but the property manager said this is the first time they hard such comment. Looking at the reviews I think she is mistaken. There were few who shared the same views as ours. So totally not worth the money.

Rustic Charm at Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage

My time at Roebank on the River Cottage was a peaceful getaway. Julie was so kind to offer to let me come back after my trip got cut short due to work. The rugged beauty of the landscape with the river so close created a tranquil atmosphere. Chilling on the upstairs balcony felt like staring at a beautiful painting because of the view. The cottage is old and basic but I found this just added to its charm. I'm a nature lover, so watching the wildlife and feeding the sheep was heartwarming. Roebank is a rustic gem for a calming farm stay. Can't wait to return to this cozy retreat of rustic charm and friendly hospitality.

Misleading photos

Photos on website are nothing like what the property looks now. Outside vegetation is overgrown and there is sheep poo everywhere. In side the house is infested with spiders, earwigs and cockroaches, even inside kitchen cupboards and appliances. The house is poorly maintained, with fly nets falling off and bathroom window glass almost falling out. Light bulbs missing, and lots and lots of spiderwebs everywhere. Beddings and towels did not smell nice and when washed the water came out brown. Overall cleanliness was poor. Location was amazing, and surroundings with beautiful views. Stay was relatively cheap, but definitely not worth it. Overall rating : Very good for location Poor for everything else, not worth the price.

Paradise on the Blackwood

Quaint farmhouse in a picturesque location with the river on the doorstep. We enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Roebank, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. The accommodation was clean and cosy with everything we needed and host, Julie, was very accommodating and easy to contact/communicate with. The huge open fireplace downstairs was an absolute dream! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Julie the owner was lovely and very accommodating. Only issues was that it stated 28km from Nannup which maybe true for a crow. Please change on the listing to 54km by car
