The chalet is situated beautifully in the middle of the forest. You'll be able to spot kangeroos and many birds from the chalet. The fireplace warmed up the chalet really quickly and added to the ambience.
Perfect location, quiet surroundings, close to all the scenic spots as well as cosy to just stay home. I Loved the fireplace and my friend loved the big bath!
Magic location, cozy with everything you could want/need. It even had sharp knives. Bed was comfortable and water pressure in the shower was sweet. We would definitely recommend this place.

Thanks Robert,
Glad you enjoyed it. Glad also that you appreciated the edge on the knives. That’s a first! Made my day.
Cheers
Pete
Stayed here when my kids were little 25 years ago. Took my mum this time and not much has changed. Beautiful place for a green and peaceful break away. Wonderful fire to keep warm and everything you need for a comfortable holiday away.
Beautiful spot in the forest away from the stress, lots of birds and wildlife around.
We had a great extended weekend down in Boranup Chalet. All is there for your convenience, just perfect! And Thanks to Pete 😉
Regards Christelle
The property is well maintained, clean and tidy and very well equipped with basic facilities. The host, Peter, had kindly provided Nespresso coffee pods too, though we used our own. We very much appreciated being able to bring Akuna (our dog) with us and she too enjoyed her stay. Our only regret is we only spent the nights there. We would definately regurn to spend sime chill time enjoying the calm, quiet and beauty of the property itself. If we nit-pick, the only thing I would say is, it is not easy to locate and I would strongly recomend reaching before the sun sets and it gets dark. Other than that we throughly enjoyed out stay and would definitely return.
Another great break, full of relaxation and a roaring fire every day and night. I can't believe how beautiful the forest is especially waking up in the morning having that first cup of coffee and then later walking through it. Everything you need is just there. Thank you again Peter for the break
Didn't take long to unwind and enjoy the surrounding nature reserve with all its sounds and smells. Daily walks with emus and kangaroos was great and the daily drives around the area was breathtaking especially when returning to our "little home". Definitely coming back and sooner rather than later
A Lovely chalet , tucked away in the forrest, with beautiful surroundings, very well equipped and centrally located. If we can summarise in Two words it will be: Peace and Tranquillity.
