About this property

The Apple - Heritage Home on 8 Acres

The Apple in Bridgetown is a relaxing get away - a gorgeous heritage farm house to call your own for a night, weekend or week. 3 hours drive south of Perth, The Apple sleeps up to 12 people. 3 bathrooms, internet, modern amenities plus old fashioned fun including wood stoves and open fireplaces.

The Apple is a 1920s family home on 8 acres of land on the Blackwood River, Bridgetown WA. 3km from the townsite.

It was once the farm house of a large apple orchard. It has a huge lounge room which in the 1940's hosted monthly dances.

Bridgetown is a gorgeous treasure in the south west. It's a small town located in a picturesque valley. The town centre is lively, with quality cafes, restaurants, wineries and boutiques. It has a long running annual Blue Festival in November, plus has many other art and culture events throughout the year.

It's easy to get caught up cooking, relaxing and never leaving the property, but it's close to heaps if you want to explore more.

The Kitchen/Dinning: The large open kitchen has a dishwasher, fan forced oven, gas cook top and wood stove.

Bedroom 3: Double room with Queen Bed, open fireplace, 2 Singles (Trundle), private ensuite with toilet and bath/shower, access to front verandah.

Verandah 2: Off the Lounge Room, Bedroom 1 and near the kitchen, this sheltered side of the house features outdoor dinning tables and barbeque.

The Property: The house is on an 8 acre property. Approximately 2 acres of garden that surround the house and include a playground area are for exclusive private use for The Apple guests. Feel free to explore the rest which includes an orchard, and head down the hill to find the Blackwood River.

Note: There is a caretakers cottage on the property also, which may be occupied during your stay.

When considering staying with us please be mindful this is a old country home in a rural area. If you're looking for all the modern comforts and predicability of a commercial hotel this might not be the accommodation for you. If you are after a genuine country experience with rustic charm, space, freedom and privacy we think you'll love our place. Being in a rural setting you may encounter more animals, spiders and bugs than the city, a lizard may give you a fright in the garden or you might hear a possum at night. Being an old house you may encounter the occasional imperfection, we are constantly making improvements but it is a 100 year old house.

Where to begin....! Absolutely stunning, especially in winter with a roaring log fire and a firepit at night! The bedding was of superior quality, the kitchen was unbelievably well stocked and the larder - no need to bring any dry goods! The grounds were beautiful and our dog loved to be able to run at will! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Enjoyed our 2 nights getaway, its very hard to find accommodation that allows 4 small dogs at one time so that definitely was a winner for us. very spacious 3 bedroom house loved that every room had there own personal ensuite. The wood fire was perfect and made the room toasty warm and gave additional light as our first night there everyone in bridgetown lost power due to the horrible weather so atleast we didnt freeze. The caretaker was very helpful on check in and gave us candle for lighting until power was restored, the garden beds around the house look alittle unloved but not a deal breaker. We would definitely stay here again.
