If you’re anything like us, the first half of 2024 was a bit of a slog, and we’re definitely eyeing off a getaway soon to get refreshed and come home strong.

And if we can save a few dollars while we’re at it – win, win!

Down south luxury accommodation group Exclusive Escapes has just launched a new winter special, featuring 25% off for some properties if you book four nights or more!

There are almost 30 properties taking part in the deal, which is running right through until September 19 – we’ve picked a few of our faves below to help you getaway for this winter with your nearest and dearest:

Big Rock Dreaming

Just a short stroll from the new Bailey Brewing Co. in Dunsborough, Big Rock Dreaming is a secluded spot on six acres of bush perfect for a couples retreat or family trip (Country Life Farm is also close by). There’s ample open plan living areas to hang out in, spacious bedrooms and more, but it’s that epic deck we’ve got our eye on for a few locally-sourced vinos by the barbecue…

Sophie’s Vineyard

Sophie’s Vineyard is one of the finest retreats in rural Yallingup. It makes an exciting statement with its innovative architecture, contemporary interior and indulgent swimming pool all set against the stunning backdrop of tall trees and native bushland. Sure the pool might be out of action, but the beautiful glass-walled fireplace is just begging for a cosy board game night.

Idyll Estate

What’s the point of getting out of the city if you’re not going to get amongst nature? Idyll Estate offers that in spades, set amongst a stunning backdrop of Australian native bush and wildlife, it’s got everything you could ask for a down south getaway. From the spa baths to the tennis court, fireplace and another awesome-looking deck, it all looks pretty…ideal, if you ask us!

Melaleuca

Perched up high on iconic Yallingup Hill, Melaleuca is a surfer’s paradise with views of the raw Indian ocean below as waveriders take to winter’s intense swells. Sunsets definitely hit a little sweeter here on the beautiful big balconies, and while you probably won’t want to leave, Vases House Hotel is just a short walk away!

Book: Melaleuca

Lot 104

This charming new-build home has all the character of a classic south west farm house with modern design elements just a few minutes from Dunsborough town centre. Enjoy nights under the stars gathered around the firepit, or curled up with a good book and greater red around the inside fireplace.

Trinder Retreat

Last, but certainly not least, we have Trinder Retreat and the star of the show – two outdoor baths! They make up part of the massive alfresco area complete with barbecue and handmade table that’s just begging for a night spent sharing stories and wines with friends. There’s also a separate, self-contained cottage, and don’t forget to check out the beautiful gardens and koi pond.

Amaroo

Located in the heart of Yallingup, this high-spec three-bedroom property is the ideal retreat to enjoy some peace with your nearest and dearest. From plush furnishing, indoor fireplace and outdoor hammocks to curl up on, it doesn’t get more luxurious than this. If you can find the will to leave this sanctuary while on your trip, Yallingup Beach is just a 10-minute drive away.

Casa Marni

This epic property sits atop Meelup Ridge, five minutes from both Dunsborough and Eagles Bay. While the pool is a drawcard in the warmer months, curling up by the big log fire taking in the beautiful views of Geographe Bay sounds just as enticing in winter. Casa Marni sleeps eight with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
