The property has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. My kids enjoyed interacting with the local fauna that come up to the veranda to greet you in the evenings. The outdoor hot tub was a bonus attraction to relax in while stargazing at night.
Great location, fantastic wildlife experience. Friendly and kids loved it! Wake up to the kangaroos and birds. Will be back again! Thank you for the lovely experience.
Best place to stay when you want to reconnect with nature and just have a nice break from hustle and bustle, this is the place. We loved waking up to the kangaroos
This is a place to spend sometime in Oz, especially if you are in to wildlife and nature. Visitor attractions in this region need to be seen and are easy to get too.
The location of the property is great. My family really enjoyed the wildlife and the nature walks. The house is not modern but it was spotless let clean. A little “quirky” in the layout worth the shower and toilet beside the front door.
The spa was amazing - although conflicting instructions were in the house about how to use it. We figured it out.
The essentials in the fridge when we arrived was a great touch!
Thanks for a great stay.
This place is AMAZING. The chalet was so cozy, felt a bit like my grandmother's house (which is a good thing), such a relaxing place with everything you need right there and with so much wild life just outside your door. In addtion, the outdoor heated spa was amazing - can recommend jumping in early morning while it's still chilly outside.
Wake up to kangeroos, bandikoots and other wildlife forraging outside your windows. Cottage is well equipped - fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, inverter aircon/heater system, jacuzzi, BBQ and washing machine. Within driving distance to the whole of Margaret River, but far enough to enjoy the tranquility of being just next to nature.
Booked a weekend away and was pleasantly surprised ... was promised nature and it delivered. If you like sharing your breakfast with Kangaroos this is the place for you. If you like a spa/hottub watching the stars this is the place for you.
A wonderful wildlife experience.
The Yelverton retreat and sanctuary delivered everything it promised.
the wildlife was amazing. They came to visit every night just as promised.
The best time ever.
Next time without the kids
A lovely little escape from Perth for the weekend, with the highlight being the wildlife at our doorstep all day and night! Our daughter was delighted as were the adults! Had never seen a woylie (and some had never heard of them) and they were hopping about our lawn merrily both evenings! Fantastic!
The only downside would be the booking on wotif.com. It allowed me to book us in on dates that turned out to be unavailable and gave the wrong price. Luckily we were able to change our days and the owners were accomodating too but if anything I would recommend going straight to their own website to book.
We stayed in a chalet, one of 5, in a secluded forest setting but within easy reach of all Margaret River locations.
Our chalet was one bedroom, very spacious sitting-room, bedroom and kitchen area. Terrace with a hot-tub and barbecue.
Two nights and wished we could stay longer. Very comfy chalets with everything you need including eggs, butter, milk, DVDs, books, picnic rug etc.
Not the most modern decor but that was not a concern.
Our UK visitor ( and us) was impressed with kangaroos, possums, woylies and a bandicoot who came to visit.
Would definitely return.
We had a lovely stay, had everything we needed to accommodate, prepare meals for and entertain a 6 month old and almost 3 year old. Then once the kids were in bed we got some time to ourselves to relax in the spa- so peaceful! The house isn't as dated as it seemed in the pictures and has been made well. It worked for us because the kids are young, but the only thing I see being an issue is the bathroom/ laundry/toilet/entrance combination. Could be awkward with older kids or two couples. But you know what? There are 3 other entrances to the house- all you have to do is walk a couple of extra metres around the side! Wildlife was active as promised- kids loved it. Bed was comfy. We could only just see the next unit through the trees so it felt very private and was very quiet at night for the kids. Loved the toys and board games!
The place is beautiful if what you are looking is bush walking, wildlife and a relaxing place. The chalets had privacy and were really nice all what you need was there and the wildlife for my kid was an awesome experience. Highly recommended indeed.
Fantastic environment. Warm owner. incredible experience for city dweller. Truly luxury resort where you're given the best comfort in the woods. SPA in the open at night watching the stars.
2nd stay at Yelverton Brook and it was just as good as the first. Fella's if your looking for a private romantic cabin, with wildlife even more friendly than than owners, then this is it! Close to all Margaret Rivers attractions but out of the way enough for pure relaxation!
Fantastic location, great wild life, great mangers (Joy and Simon).
Margaret river down the road, Yallingup canal rocks only 20 minutes away where there is amazing snorkeling.
Will stay again
