About this property

Dwellingup Escape. Large home opp Forest. Sleeps 8, 1.5 Bathrooms. Games Rm

This large house is situated on the outskirts of the Timber town of Dwellingup, about 75 minute drive from Perth. Dwellingup is a mecca for Mountain bikers or walkers, and nature lovers. This mid-century house has been renovated and is now a large modernised, spacious home, whilst retaining its mid-century charm.

Your base line booking provides sleeping arrangements for up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms. The 4th King Bedroom plus walk-in robe is available for an ADDITIONAL fee, giving you sleeping for up to 8 guests in total. 1 full bathroom with indoor toilet, plus a recently added 2nd separate toilet, a huge gourmet kitchen, 2 living areas to provide more space for larger groups, plus a separate Games Room with Soccer Foosball table, and large covered outdoor deck, barbecue and outdoor gas heater.

Enjoy watching the birdlife on the cute front veranda, which overlooks State Forest.
Birdlife abounds in this region.. wrens, robins, cockatoos to name a few. Kangaroos can be seen frequently in the forest. Dwellingup is also a place to relax from the stresses of modern living. The town has a very good café, wineries nearby, a community run hotel and several craft centres. Lane Pool Reserve is nearby for canoeing or paddling and swimming. There is an Outdoor Adventure shop in town where bikes and canoes can be hired, or guided tours can be arranged for cycling and paddling activities.

The house has Reverse-Cycle Airconditioning throughout, plus a very efficient Evaporative Cooling system for summer. Wintery evenings can be spent beside the cosy log fire.
There is plenty of space to share with large groups or multigenerational gatherings of up to 8 guests maximum.
A gas barbecue on a generous back patio with outdoor tables and chairs seating 8 people enhances your stay. There is a well equipped kitchen, with large oven should you wish to cook.
A Nespresso coffee machine is supplied. If you are a coffee lover you might like to bring your favourite pods.
The property is fully fenced, and overlooks State forest, on the outskirts of Dwellingup.
It's advisable to bring your own food. The local IGA has a range of staples.
