Inspiring Forest Retreat in the Heart of the South-West

Relax and unwind in 10 acres of peaceful southern forest bushland backing on to state forest. Sit back on the huge wrap around verandah and be inspired by the tranquillity of native forest, birds and wildlife. In winter, wake to the trickling of the winter stream that flows through the property.

Forest Redtail Retreat is idyllically situated 10 minutes’ drive south of Nannup. Stylishly furnished interiors with polished jarrah floors, cosy wood fire, expansive verandah with forest and water views, and all the comforts of home.

The Retreat comprises three large bedrooms – Master retreat with queen bed and French doors leading to a wide verandah, plus two other large bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one a double bed. Spacious, newly appointed gourmet kitchen and open plan living/dining all with inspiring open views to the native forest.

Reconnect with nature through bush walks, bird watching, exploring property tracks and adjacent state forest; or simply sit back with a glass of wine or book on the verandah.

A Base to Explore the South West

Forest Redtail Retreat is 12km south of Nannup, a charming historic timber town. Local attractions include bush walks, heritage trail, Munda Biddi bike track, beautiful natural swimming holes (including Barrabup Pool), lavender farm, marron farm, cheese factory, local craft and cafes, galleries, spring wildflowers, cruising the Donnelly River and canoeing or fishing in the Blackwood River.

A perfect base to also explore further afield. Within 1 hour’s scenic drive are:
- Margaret River wine region;
- Pemberton – Gloucester Tree and beautiful Karri forest;
- Swimming or southern fishing at beautiful Hamelin Bay.
- Manjimup – truffles and fresh food;

Winter getaway

Beautiful quiet location with plenty of nearby bush to explore. Lovely spacious kitchen and outdoor area. Will definitely come back with the kids next time. It was lovely to sit by the fireplace and have some screen free time with friends.

Beautiful house with a soul

It is really nice house and you have everything for a comfortable holiday. Thank you for a possibility to live in it. Only one thing I would like to suggest is the clear statement in the description of the house that there is no wifi & phone reception in the house. It would not stop us to rent the house but I could do better preparation in advance at home for our holiday.

Perfect getaway stay

We've really enjoyed our weekend at Mario and Rebecca's property. The house is very comfortable and warm thanks to a split system unit and the fireplace (plenty of firewood provided). Checking in was easy. Good communication with owners. Location is great, peaceful area with many trees surrounding the house. Thanks!

Quiet & comfortable

The only things I would perhaps request would be for a few coat hangers ..there was only one old wire hanger on-site. And it would be good to have 2 working bedside lamps in the main bedroom.

Wonderful Secluded Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. The property is gorgeous in winter and we had our own private waterfalls. The fireplace was well stocked with plenty of wood, there's heaps of books and games and we had plenty of fresh bedding and towels. There's no signal on the property (at least from Vodafone and Optus) and no WiFi, so if you need to be contactable, this probably isn't the right place. However, if you're looking to unplug and relax, I thoroughly recommend this gorgeous little cottage. Mario and Rebecca are great hosts and very communicative.

Perfect quiet spot for a city detox

Lovely house, very homely. Kitchen well supplied. Loved the range of cooking oils and balsamic!! House cold when we arrived but reverse cycle was v efficient and house kept warm. Fabulous deck, sat outside on huge sofa, sipping wine and watching the variety of birds feeding. We’ll be coming back again and again. Thank you Mario !!

a little underwhelming

the location is lovely and the beds are comfy but theres no wifi and no little touches to make you feel welcome eg oil to cook an egg, salt and pepper, a microwave etc. the place felt quite sterile and the bedroom door handle came off so we couldnt get in to the bedroom which was a real pain. because theres no wifi we had to drive to a neighbour to ring the owner for assistance. the towels were old and not fluffy. quite disappointing given the price.

Tranquil retreat perfect for a family getaway

The property is an older style house set back from a minor road, backing onto a stream out the back. The property was nicely maintained and had adequate facilities. We were advised of some power issues prior to our stay but the host maintained consistent contact to update us. We had some delay in getting the keys to the property but will chalk this up to the other issues with the power, we were only delayed getting in by half an hour. Note that that there is no TV in the house and mobile reception is non existent (we had to drive down the road to get reception), which is probably a positive for a family getaway and getting the kids off screens. The host had provided ample board games to entertain ourselves, but ensure that you plan your outings and check maps whilst in town when you have reception. Overall a lovely experience and we are considering returning again next winter.

Tranquil retreat

We enjoyed our stay in this very peaceful place. It was great to be away from wifi & phone contact for a few days. Comfy beds, warm & well set up. A delightfully welcome retreat from suburbia. Thanks to our hosts for sharing your wonderful property with us.

I think this location is better suited for a weekend in winter or spring. Terribly hot and dry. Property a bit tired and out of town. We enjoyed ourselves but don’t think I would go back again.
