About this property

The Apple - Heritage Home on 8 Acres

The Apple in Bridgetown is a relaxing get away - a gorgeous heritage farm house to call your own for a night, weekend or week. 3 hours drive south of Perth, The Apple sleeps up to 12 people. 3 bathrooms, internet, modern amenities plus old fashioned fun including wood stoves and open fireplaces.

The Apple is a 1920s family home on 8 acres of land on the Blackwood River, Bridgetown WA. 3km from the townsite.

It was once the farm house of a large apple orchard. It has a huge lounge room which in the 1940's hosted monthly dances.

Bridgetown is a gorgeous treasure in the south west. It's a small town located in a picturesque valley. The town centre is lively, with quality cafes, restaurants, wineries and boutiques. It has a long running annual Blue Festival in November, plus has many other art and culture events throughout the year.

It's easy to get caught up cooking, relaxing and never leaving the property, but it's close to heaps if you want to explore more.

Bedroom 3: Double room with Queen Bed, open fireplace, 2 Singles (Trundle), private ensuite with toilet and bath/shower, access to front verandah.

Verandah 2: Off the Lounge Room, Bedroom 1 and near the kitchen, this sheltered side of the house features outdoor dinning tables and barbeque.

The Property: The house is on an 8 acre property. Approximately 2 acres of garden that surround the house and include a playground area are for exclusive private use for The Apple guests. Feel free to explore the rest which includes an orchard, and head down the hill to find the Blackwood River.

Note: There is a caretakers cottage on the property also, which may be occupied during your stay.

When considering staying with us please be mindful this is a old country home in a rural area. If you're looking for all the modern comforts and predicability of a commercial hotel this might not be the accommodation for you. If you are after a genuine country experience with rustic charm, space, freedom and privacy we think you'll love our place. Being in a rural setting you may encounter more animals, spiders and bugs than the city, a lizard may give you a fright in the garden or you might hear a possum at night. Being an old house you may encounter the occasional imperfection, we are constantly making improvements but it is a 100 year old house.

Family getaway

I booked a three night stay to celebrate my 70th birthday with my children and grandchildren. The accommodation was great with bedrooms suitable for parents and kids and plenty of areas both inside and out to relax. The dogs and kids loved the outside entertainment and games on offer. There was ample comfortable seating and dining spaces and lovely views of the garden and peaceful property. Proximity to lovely Bridgetown was excellent.

3rd Visit …. perfect 👌

Two sisters over 55 and our 87 yr old Dad. Warm, cosy, felt just like home. This is my third visit and we’re rebooking for 2025. Three bedrooms with three bathrooms suited us perfectly. Overly stocked kitchen made our family dinners easy peezy. Warm fireplaces, electric blankets and the comfiest bedding. We loved it 😊
