The Space:
Nestled in one of Western Australia’s most coveted destinations, this sanctuary is designed to inspire, rejuvenate and elevate your everyday life during and after your stay. With expansive views of lakes with temperate rainforest backdrops, overlooking vineyards and a local farm, this retreat invites quiet connection to landscape and self as nature unfolds from every room, alive with rare birdlife, kangaroos and emus roaming the 160-acre estate.
The Bailey family redefines modern holiday sophistication, curating a stay where contemporary elegance meets Margaret River’s ancient redgum forest and vineyard surrounds. Each unit reflects a timeless aesthetic, combining wood, wool and stone with open, light-filled interiors.
The heart of the property is the main lodge, purpose-built for connection. Open-plan living areas bring everyone together around an indoor fireplace, with large windows framing bushland views. A second living zone offers space to unwind, while two well-equipped kitchens and adjoining dining areas make shared meals effortless.
The lodge is divided into two self-contained apartments, each featuring two bedrooms, a bathroom, and laundry facilities—ideal for families travelling together while maintaining privacy. Four private studio suites, accessed via a wraparound patio, provide additional independence with comfortable beds, ensuites, kitchenettes, and sitting areas.
Outdoor living is woven throughout, with multiple decks and patios overlooking the water, sun loungers, an outdoor dining area, a gas BBQ, and a fire pit under the stars. With expansive grounds, a single-level layout, ample parking, and reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout, the property is also perfectly suited to weddings, retreats, and family gatherings.
From here, life slows to the pace of the landscape. Wake to birdsong and step into a place of quiet serenity, where the day begins with scenic walks weaving through native trees or gentle bike rides tracing the water’s edge. Enjoy relaxed picnics by the lake, gather beneath ancient gums for lingering lunches, and welcome sunset drinks as the fire pit draws everyone together.
A starter pack of wood is provided during the winter months only (June – August). This includes kindling, firelighters, matches, and wood. Axes are not supplied due to safety reasons. Additional wood may be purchased from a nearby fuel station or hardware store.
