A wonderfully picturesque location in Balingup. Fantastic for a battery charge or relaxation after a big day. Hosts Marita and Ian are terrific hosts. The gardens are magnificent and great for exploring and a leisurely walk or just sit and enjoy the outlook in one of many hidden locations

The perfect mental reset

Beautiful property in a gorgeous garden. The accommodation is clean, warm and has all you need for a great get away. Take a walk around the farm, or explore the nearby towns. We loved our weekend, the only downside was that it ended too soon. I could of sat with the hosts and listened to their incredible story for days.

Relaxing and Amazing stay with very welcoming hosts

Every attention to detail in this property. We stayed in camellia suite. Though the kitchenette is outside it felt like a fun adventure and its a beautiful place to have breakfast and watch the birds. The property has lovely little spots to enchant and delight. Every item has been placed with care and thought. The hosts were warm and welcoming and we were invited to walk wherever we pleased. There is a wonderful view from the top of the ridge.The suite is attached to the main house but the hosts Marita and Ian gave us total privacy. Only saw them on arrival and departure. We truly had a wonderful stay and felt very safe

Grass Tree Heaven

The property was extremely tidy & clean. We had a lovely relaxing time on the property which was beautiful. If you are a grass tree lover, well you are in for a treat. Everything was supplied with a little welcome package of freshly picked fruit, cherry tomatoes, milk & eggs. It was great just bringing what we needed for the weekend. The hosts Marita & Ian were absolutely amazing, could not do enough for you & were super friendly. They even picked a box of fruit for us to take home to the kids. Thank you for making our little getaway stress free 🙂

Idyllic Getaway

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the hosts. Marita and Ian are the perfect hosts, so easy to talk with and know how to make things so welcoming with all the little personal touches they put in place. The Rustic Retreat gave us everything we wanted in spades and the location was excellent being just off the South West Highway and equidistant between Donnybrook and Bridgetown. We were able to totally relax and take in the wonderful views from the front of the Retreat. Our sadness at having to go home was counter-balanced by the sight of seven, tiny, newly hatched ducklings down by the ponds as we left. Thank you Marita and Ian.

Marita and Ian are the perfect hosts. As a woman travelling alone it was very reassuring to be met by smiling faces and I immediately felt safe. Nothing is too much trouble and your hosts are always around, albeit decretely to help in any way they can. The property is magnificent and immaculate. The room I stayed in had a queen size bed and was very spacious with the most beautiful bathroom including a fabulous claw foot bath to soak in and walk in shower. Immediately outside on the verandah was a small tea and coffee station with a micro wave and bar fridge. The attention to detail was amazing with the added touches of chocolates and milk in the fridge. Ians love of the garden is strikingly obvious with one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. The birds love it there too and I was astounded by the variety that make it their home.The village of Balingup is only 5 mins away making it just far enough away to feel like you have escaped to the country. I highly recommend a visit to this oasis in the South West of Western Australia and intend on booking again as soon as I can.Many thanks to Marita and Ian for your warm hospitality. It was a pleasure to stay with you.
