Westend Retreat Couples Bushland Haven
Summary:
Surrounded by three peaceful acres just minutes from Dunsborough, this spacious guest house blends natural design with a quiet sense of calm. Timber floors, jarrah joinery, and soft, earthy textures create a space that feels instantly grounding.

The Space:
Westend Retreat offers a peaceful escape where crafted design and natural beauty meet. Set on three tranquil acres at the edge of Dunsborough, this self-contained guest house captures the quiet rhythm of the Southwest with slow mornings, sunlit interiors, and the soft sounds of nature all around.
Inside, the atmosphere is calm and grounded. Rammed earth walls and timber floors bring warmth and texture, while jarrah joinery adds a timeless sense of craftsmanship. The open living area invites you to unwind with comfortable seating, soft lighting, and leafy outlooks that draw the landscape indoors. Reverse-cycle air conditioning and fast Wi-Fi ensure comfort and ease in every season.
The kitchen is designed for relaxed living, perfect for preparing breakfast or sharing a platter of local produce after a day exploring the coast. A four-seater dining table provides ample space for meals at home. Step through French doors to the north-facing covered veranda and private courtyard, the heart of the retreat. Enclosed by rammed earth walls and lush planting, this secluded outdoor space is ideal for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or a quiet glass of wine beside the gentle sound of the fountain.
The bedroom feels serene and inviting, with a king bed dressed in natural linens and soft, earthy tones that reflect the landscape beyond. The adjoining bathroom combines heritage charm with modern comfort, featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and handcrafted timber details.
Guests have their own entrance, private outdoor spaces, and dedicated parking, ensuring complete independence throughout their stay.
