Summary:
Perfectly located for access to wineries, galleries, and beaches, Wildwood Views is a wonderful country retreat for a relaxed and casual holiday. Wind down in the peace and quiet of rural Yallingup Hills whilst being close to all the attractions the area has to offer.
The Space:
Wildwood Views is a spacious yet intimate 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. It is a split level residence and an excellent choice for couples who are looking to enjoy the local vineyards and restaurants, or alternatively two families holidaying together. The perfect retreat also for artists or writers, or those who simply enjoy watching the many birds and other wildlife attracted by the native plants in the garden. This property beckons the timber doors to be opened out on to the expansive entertaining deck, to let the sunshine in and bush breeze flow through the house.
On the entry level of the house, are two generous bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with one single bed and one set of bunk beds. These rooms are also serviced with a well-appointed bathroom (bath, separate shower and vanity), laundry area, and separate WC.
The entry level also contains the light-filled, spacious lounge area, with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy a board game or sit back and watch a good movie. Ceiling fans keep it cool during summer, while a lovely fireplace warms everything up in winter; add in the reverse cycle air conditioning unit, and all seasons are accounted for to make your stay comfortable year-round. Along with the spacious, well-appointed country kitchen, this area has wide timber doors that open out to a large entertaining deck, with views of South West hardwoods blending into the tree top canopy offering spectacular rural valley vistas.
Descend to the lower split level and you will find the capacious master bedroom with a king bed, wardrobe, reverse cycle air conditioning and en suite with shower, WC and vanity. This bedroom also has direct access to its own private balcony. The large, fourth bedroom has 2 single beds and completes the lower level.
This holiday home is an enchanting haven of peace and serenity, idyllically situated for the perfect rural retreat.

Guest Access:
Please note that the driveway is not sealed and is on a steep incline in places. There are small, loose stones on the surface. Guests should take extra care when traversing this area on foot, especially if they are elderly or have any restricted mobility.
The whole home is set up for guest use only. Guests can enjoy the beautiful native bush gardens during their stay, with direct access from the firebreak for bush walks through the Wildwood valley. Please see the house manual for further detail
The Neighborhood:
Located on a beautiful bush block in the Yallingup Hills, you will have no option other than to relax and enjoy as reality melts away and the house wraps you in a big, quiet, nature-filled hug! Enjoy waking up to a serenade of bird song, watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets on the deck, peeking through the surrounding eucalypts and allow yourself to simply be. The house is a short drive from some of the region's most beautiful beaches, like Yallingup beach, Yallingup Aquarium, Smith's beach, and Injidup beach & natural spa. The area really comes to life in the summer months, as visitors flock to enjoy world class beaches, food, wineries, bike trails, and much more.
It's not just about summer here, despite its popularity thanks to the glorious weather; all year round, even when we may be less blessed with warm days and sunny skies, visitors can enjoy hikes, biking, surfing, off-roading, horse riding, cave tours, water sports, fishing, wine and beer tasting, and generally eating and drinking one's way around the area! Visit in spring to catch the whale migration and wild flower season, or in autumn to enjoy quieter beaches and excellent surf.
Please see the Guidebook for our personal recommendations on where to eat, drink, shop and what to see & do in this fabulous region. This list is by no means exhaustive, however, so please get in touch if you need any pointers ahead of your stay.
The Margaret River Wine Region is one of the most prestigious winemaking areas in the world. Considered a “boutique” region, production is relatively small and quality-focused. The unique microclimates and fabulous soils here mean that producers are able to make some of the world’s best Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with a host of other single varietal and blend wines; most wineries will have a good selection of options, including various sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz if the flagship varieties aren’t your cup of tea. Many of these wineries are also home to phenomenal restaurants, and your dining options will range from full tasting menus to casual pizzas or grazing boards. If you have any particular restaurant on your wish list, we strongly recommend booking ahead all year round. In peak summer season (December-February), bookings are essential and may need to be made several weeks or months in advance. Please contact us directly if you would like tailored recommendations for your self-guided winery and/or brewery tour. If you have time, we highly recommend buying a ticket onto one of the many locally operated winery and brewery tour buses, for an unforgettable day out of excellent food and drink.
