Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage, Farm stay and Homestead

The Blackwood Farm cottage is located 9km from Bridgetown and straddles 1.5km of the Blackwood river.

This 2 story farmhouse has sweeping views of the Blackwood river and the surrounding valley with a large outdoor decking area to take it all in.

The cottage features a wood ooen fire place and heated by a reverse cycle air con . 3 bedrooms, separate bathroom, kitchen and appliances.note firewood is not supplied byo wood ( some paddock wood available for fire pits)

This is a true farm house style home and guest should expect a “no frills” standard in the home.

Nestled on a hobby farm complete with the sheep and geese.
Come and enjoy the quiet serenity of the beautiful bush land and river.

Child Supervision

Roebank is a working hobby farm and bordered by the Blackwood River which poses risks to young children. Make sure children are supervised at all time as there is unfenced water, steep embankments and farming equipment.

Children should also be supervised at all times when on the balcony, to assist in isolating this area from children there is a key attached to the wall above sliding door. Children under 12 years old are not suitable guests

Established in 1890 sitting on 59 hectares

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.

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.

Our host Julie was very helpful with providing directions into the farm and warm & friendly to deal with. We found it quite straightforward to find and it’s a simple 10 mins or so from the town. The 5 stars is for the location. The fantastic river views, rolling hills and bird life was a refreshing return to nature all enjoyable from the generous sized deck. It would be hard to beat this view for the price. Kayaking on a river all to ourselves was awesome as you can enjoy more bird life along the banks. It’s just quiet and peaceful and you might need to be a ‘no frills’ type to ignore the nature within the house. We will definitely be coming back.

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!

Communication with the host was very limited.Instructions to the residence was very confusing. On arrival the house was very disappointing. Everything looked tired, dusty with cobwebs and spiders on the outdoor furniture. Considering a 150 cleaning fee is added to your bill the standard was very below average. Such a pity as the view from the substandard balcony was amazing However we Would not recommend this home stay experience to anyone

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.

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.

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.
