Noble River Estate

If you’re planning a family reunion surrounded by old-growth jarrah forest, a cheeky weekend away with friends and family in a log cabin, or a romantic rendezvous at an intimate country retreat,

Dwellingup has something for any budget and type of experience.

Just over an hour’s drive from Perth,

Dwellingup is the perfect long weekend escape and a place you can truly disconnect to reconnect and make everlasting memories.

Redgum Retreat

Looking for that quintessentially gorgeous group retreat? Redgum Retreat can sleep up to 18 people and shares a property with Wine Tree Cidery. Overlooking the beautiful orchard and array of wildlife, you’ll be able to relax, indulge in boutique wines and ciders and hearty platters laden with local produce. Redgum is a spacious rammed earth building and sits alongside the Bibbulmun Track, just a five minute drive from Dwellingup. It has a fully equipped kitchen and is the perfect country escape for large groups who want a quiet space to share time together.

Noble River Estate

Watching the sunset from the deck of your secluded chalet as kangaroos bounce by is total bliss. Once the sun has said goodnight, the lack of light pollution out here means the stars shine especially brilliantly. A stunning 34-acre property that used to be an old dairy, Noble River Estate features six cosy wooden chalets and a large homestead. Set among the tall timbers of the jarrah forest, Noble River offers a peaceful setting to stop and take in the simple magic of country life and is the perfect spot for an intimate wedding, to host a function, a family reunion or weekend forest retreat.

Lewis Park Chalets

Nestled in the Darling Scarp on 16-hectares of rural heaven you’ll find Lewis Park Chalets. An in-demand stargazing location, the chalets have sweeping views down the scarp and a ringside seat to the Milky Way. There’s also a new winery, Redgum Estate, opening just down the road from Lewis Park in September 2022. So why not grab the extended family and make a group booking for a long weekend? Sounds like paradise found to us.

The Gallery House

As the name suggests, The Gallery House is full of original art. A freshly renovated 1940s-character house, this lovely holiday abode lies behind the Lost Eden Art Gallery in the centre of town and is surrounded by stunning gardens. The house has three bedrooms, a log fire to cosy up to in winter, a sunroom to make the most of the afternoon light and even a fire-pit out the back. The retro horse

float/food truck of Garden Eats is literally at your door, dishing up plant-based food every Friday to Sunday, so all you need to relax is right here.

Snottygobble House

A picture-perfect cabin on the edge of the forest, this four-bedroom, twobathroom, pet-friendly holiday house is the ideal choice for a family getaway. Walk out your door and you’re right in the thick of the state forest, close to bush walking and mountain biking tracks, and also just a short walk into town, making it a great location for the adventurer. Kick back with a log fire after a day on the trails, and plenty of board games and books.

Jarrah Forest Lodge

A simple forest lodge to rest your aching feet on your travels through the Bibbulmun Track or the Munda Biddi Trail. Jarrah Forest Lodge is clean and comfortable self-catering accommodation. It has two separate bedrooms, which can be used separately or together for a family or small group. Surrounded by the old-growth native jarrah forest, relax under the rustic outdoor communal barbecue and gazebo area - this little gem even has a pizza oven to keep you warm.

Nanga Bush Camp

Perfect in its simplicity, Nanga Bush Camp is tucked away on the banks of the Murray River, allowing you to leave the busyness of the city behind and experience true downtime. Choose from rustic bunkhouses and cottages, the entire camp can sleep from 10 to over 300 people. Expect to have kangaroos or the cheeky kookaburra joining you for breakfast or a quiet afternoon drink as the sun peeks through the clusters of towering trees. At Nanga you can kayak, raft, bushwalk or just simply be in nature ... the choice is yours.
