Excellent location, quaint country cottage with beautiful garden. Lots of space for adults and teens to enjoy. Activities around were wonderful: walks, bike rides, skate park, Hotham Valley train - surplus enjoyment to be had. Cottage is clean and has most of what is needed. Was perfect for us, just what we needed.

Great getaway with the girls
We enjoyed our stay but as it is difficult for bnb owners to find cleaners, the house was dirty and lacking amenities. The owner repaid me for purchasing some items. The location is great and close to town.

We loved our Winter escape. The property was cosy & had everything you could ask for. We loved getting the indoor fire 🔥 roaring & just chilling. There are 4 bedrooms 2 x bedrooms with queen beds 1 x bedroom with bunk beds 1 x studio out the back with 1 x queen & bunk beds. The studio has no toilet or shower though & would need to come inside main property during the night The only downside is 1 x bathroom with 1 x toilet (especially when you have multiple people staying at the property. Having said that, we loved our stay & will be back next year!

long weekend getaway
Inside the retreat was surprisingly modern and spacious. The outside roses were lovely and the small cottage out the back was very quaint. Dwellingup has enough eateries to make it unnecessary to go further a field but things do close quite early. A great place to stay within an hour and a half from Perth.

Wish I had stayed longer
We were all so surprised, delighted even as we enjoyed this sweet and tastefully renovated cottage. It had everything we needed, a perfect space for separation with the teens, gorgeous gardens and was a joy to have had a morning swing in the hammock and tea on the front verandah. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.

Peace out of city
Our 2nd visit, we loved it. Not too far to drive but very peaceful getaway out of city. Charming french feel. Spotlessly clean. Love, love sitting on the balcony watching and listening to all the birds in the forest across the road. Great for teenagers also as they have their own escape in the back yard.

Heritage, ambience & convenience
A group of mums in our 60s who met 33 years ago when our eldest were 6 weeks old had a very enjoyable 2 night stay at this Heritage listed cottage. Dwellingup is such a pretty town with so much to do and see and Dwellingup Retreat borders on the bushland, but is perfectly positioned for an easy amble into the town centre, Hotham Valley rail, Cidery, etc. The owner was easy to deal with and the instructions clear.

The house is very conveniently situated for so many of the activities the area has to offer. Walking, mountain biking, high ropes and we even used the SUPs in Lanes Pool Reserve. The house had everything we needed and there is plenty of space (and separation!) for family groups. We’ll be back!

LOVELY PLACE TO STAY
The house was as lovely as the pictures. So well equipped. I can't think of one thing we wanted to use that wasn't there. Very clean. Comfy beds and facilities. The sleepout was a hit with 12 & 16 year old girls. They loved having their own space to watch TV & sleep. There are so many lovely spots to sit outside (both front and back). So relaxing.
