Yallingup Homestead – Lakeside Retreat

The property is set on eight acres in Yallingup and is surrounded by vineyards – in amongst a forest of deciduous trees, it’s a lake-side retreat that is as spectacular as it sounds. 10 guests can enjoy this five-bedroom home with lake views and watch on from the patio as horses frolic in the distance.

While you’re enjoying a glass (or two) of the local wine, you can fire up the BBQ and gather round the fire pit as the sun sets. In the summer, guests can enjoy a dip in the pool and in the colder months you can make the most of the separate game cave to have a game of pool or table tennis.

Sea’esta Sands – Absolute Beachfront Family Retreat

One for the families here – it’s pretty special too, as the home has private access to a pristine beach. This four-bedroom family-friendly beach house is nestled amongst bushland on one side and the white sands of Geographe Bay on the other. It suits eight guests, and is ideally situated between Dunsborough and Busselton.

While you’re there, you can enjoy a game of tennis on the private court, fish or kayak in crystal waters just metres away or cosy up to the open log fireplace. The home offers the duality of peace and serenity while being close to the ocean and other amenities. Oh, and there’s a private mooring for boat owners!
