Large tranquil escape

The Nest is a very large home that fitted our group perfectly. The pictures don't do it justice in terms of spaciousness. Beautiful secluded area, yet close to shops, wineries etc. The house had everything you'd need for a very comfortable stay.

Beautiful, scenic location and great accommodation!

We loved The Nest in a beautiful natural setting! Service was great in all aspects and really appreciated the provision of wood for the fire along with oil heaters in the bedrooms for the cold nights. We would have given a 5-star rating however a couple of safety issues needed attending: the power boards with exposed wires in the downstairs bedrooms and the stair rail needs tightening as it is a bit wobbly, (our group was aged 68+ thus using the rail frequently). We thank you for sharing your wonderful home and we would love to stay again. Gayle

The Nest 24th February 2024

We are very happy with our stay at The Nest. We have always loved Yallingup and the setting of this property is just perfect. The house is very clean and well presented. We loved our stay. We will be back again. Some minor suggestions: Perhaps a little more modern deco will improve the interior appearance. It'll also be easier for travellers, esp family who are travelling far, if linen and tolwels etc are included. About staff / office admins - pleasant to work with, efficient and well mannered over email conversations. Thank you.

Very needed break

What a lovely setting. From the moment we drove up to the house we all just smiled. Walking up the stairs was amazing the kitchen is massive, I think the bench would be about 5m long. The fireplace kept the top half beautifully warm. The house is huge every room is so big. Our son loved chopping the wood and we all loved the kangaroos. The house isn’t perfect but it was perfect for us. Oh and I loved the laundry shoot and was thrilled to bring all our washing home clean. We will definitely be back.

80th birthday Escape at Yallingup

Our family recently had the pleasure of celebrating my father's 80th birthday at an Exclusive Escapes home in Yallingup, WA. The setting was truly perfect for such a special occasion. Nestled among the trees, we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the delightful presence of local wildlife, including magpies, kangaroos, and bright blue wrens. This tranquil environment was appreciated by all, especially my father, who loved the comfort and serenity the location provided.The home itself featured expansive living areas and comfortable bedrooms, making it ideal for accommodating our family gathering. The large open deck was a particular favorite, offering a wonderful space for us to relax and enjoy each other’s company amid the natural beauty of the area.Warm weather is typical for this region, but the house was well-equipped with a large air conditioning unit that easily managed the heat. Bedrooms also had fans available in the cupboards, which were handy for keeping the air fresh overnight. The kitchen was well-supplied, allowing us to prepare meals with ease, and the barbecue offered a fantastic option for outdoor dining.In terms of location, this home provided easy access to nearby amenities. We were just a short drive from the town, beaches, and popular spots like the Wild Hop Brewery. This perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility made our stay all the more enjoyable.Our time in Yallingup was truly memorable, offering

Great location but a little tired

We had a pleasant stay at The Nest, but the house could most definitely do with a renovation or at least some repairs. Many of the vertical Venetian blinds throughout the house were broken which meant the light streamed in at dawn every morning and reduced privacy. The fridge leaked water and the door is only just hanging in there. The kitchen stove was grimy and consequently we had trouble lighting the burners. The carpet in the main lounge room and dining area would greatly benefit from being swapped to something easier to clean and more hygienic in a shared house. The welcome pack was fairly non-existent...previous houses we have stayed had at least some tea and coffee (there was a pod coffee machine, but no pods..), however nothing much here apart from a few cleaning supplies, two tea towels (for a party of 10) and a welcome bottle of wine. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment however, with most items that you could ever hope to need. The location is amazing - super close to everything but still private and isolated...Hot water and good water pressure in the bathrooms..Loved the wrap around verandah. But we thought the tariff was a little high considering the condition of the house and the fact we had to take all our own linen and towels (because we chose not to pay an extra few hundred dollars for linen) Overall an ok stay. The house could be awesome with a few simple upgrades / some maintenance, but if it stays as is, I would look for somewhere else.

Staycation at The Nest

Our stay was fantastic. Driving up to the property in the secluded bush, we knew it going to be good. Check in was easy. Walking in was a Wow!! The space itself was amazing. Nice and open with plenty of light in all areas. Very clean all round. Large bedrooms and kitchen area. Loads of veranda space and living areas for chat, play and relaxing. Board games and table tennis provided in addition to TV and CD player. The property is surrounded by bush and kangaroos were close by. This property is a really nice space to chill in. We all highly recommend it and would come back again.

Nested amongst the trees

Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at The Nest. It is a very large property in a lovely bush setting containing just about everything you could want in a home away from home.The table tennis table was a hit, and the TV's have been updated from the old "fat backs" in the photos! Something to keep in mind if you're staying there during a period of hot weather, as we were, is that there is only one air conditioning unit for the whole house, situated in the upstairs living room. This made for some fairly uncomfortable nights trying to sleep, even with the multiple pedestal fans provided. The owners should also look at replacing the locks as we were unable to unlock either the front or garage doors with the keys provided, eventually gaining access through the laundry door.

Spacious home but needs work.

It's a spacious property, in a lovely quiet area. Kitchen had everything we needed. The table tennis table was a hit! Bed linen and towels were clean. Home does need a bit of TLC. Wires hanging out of walls and not enough power points, meaning that there are extension cords everywhere. Lots of cluttered dusty decor that needs to be sorted out. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the home needs sprucing up.
