About this property

Escape to your own private fairy tale sanctuary!

Tucked deep in the West Coast’s wild green, there’s a place where the ordinary world steps quietly aside - and something softer takes its place. A clearing where glass walls open to forest, where laughter gathers at The Long Table, and a hidden treehouse suite overlooking the forest canopy, inviting dreamers to climb a little higher.

Discover pure magic at this breathtaking estate nestled on gorgeous private land, where rolling green lawns meet wild bushland in perfect harmony. Just 12 minutes from town yet worlds away from ordinary, this enchanted haven offers the best of both worlds – complete tranquility with convenient access to everything you need.

• Event-ready for gatherings up to 20 – perfect for celebrations, retreats, or special occasions
• Stunning atrium dining room with natural light streaming through, creating the perfect ambiance for memorable meals
• Expansive emerald lawn stretching before you like a private park
• Secluded bushland setting offering privacy and natural beauty
• Prime location – just 12 minutes to town conveniences

Whether you’re planning an intimate family getaway, a friends’ reunion, a corporate retreat, or a special celebration, this enchanted sanctuary provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.

Your fairy tale awaits - enquire today to book your enchanted escape in this incredible location.

Welcome to Enchanted.

By day, it’s a wonderland for families - children darting across emerald lawns, inventing kingdoms beneath the ferns, uncovering secret corners that feel drawn from a storybook.
By night, it settles into something more grown-up - warm lights flicker, glasses clink, and conversations drift well beyond candlelight.

Weddings here feel almost otherworldly - a glass atrium drenched in natural light, surrounded by the quiet majesty of bush and birdsong. Retreats breathe deep here too - a sanctuary that stirs both creativity and calm.

There’s magic, yes - but not imagined. Lived.

In the rustle of palms. The soft glow of lanterns. The echo of laughter under timber beams. Every detail plays its part in the spell.

Enchanted isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to play. To gather. To celebrate. To feel something again. A hidden pocket of the coast where the trees lean close and whisper,

“Come closer - the story’s only just beginning.”
