About this property

Banyandah | Dog Friendly | Family & Groups Welcome

‘Banyandah’ is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘home on the water’ and if you stay you will know why. This architecturally designed, family orientated home is situated across the road from the stunning Margaret River, joined by tall trees and wildlife. It offers superb accommodation for up to 8 people in a quiet and exclusive pocket of quality built homes.

The design is spacious and modern equipped with all the comforts you would expect from a quality home; Smart TV, free Wifi, Chef’s kitchen including an ice making double fridge, large oven, dishwasher, a custom built Jarrah island breakfast bar and sleek stainless steel kitchen benchtops. There is a King bedroom, two Queens and two king singles all wonderfully private and welcoming. The deluxe King room ensuite bathroom has a double vanity, open double shower and separate toilet. It includes a superb egg-shaped bathtub perfectly positioned alongside a private courtyard with deck overlooking the forrest, so the door can be left open to create the sense of being outside with nature.
The spacious open-plan design of the communal living areas are separated by a custom built fireplace – the centrepiece of the living area and a must for cosy winter nights.
Banyandah enjoys enviable access to the river for swimming, stand up paddling, kayaking and canoeing. Alternatively, why not walk or mountain bike along the old pine trails and the river to the Rotary Park, where you can join the rails to trails or simply enjoy all the town has to offer. Its an easy 20 minutes stroll or 5 minute drive to the town centre.
All rooms in the house are of outstanding quality with brand new furniture. There is even a sand pit and wooden toys for the children to play with in the large, fully fenced grassed backyard. The crisp white linen, fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities will add to your Margaret River holiday experience. No school leavers bookings please.

The house is made of rammed earth and is consequently very energy efficient. When its cold the fireplace acts to warm up the whole house and their are heaters in the bedrooms if this isnt enough for you.
The owner purchases energy certificates so that Banyandahs electricity consumption is carbon positive meaning the property offsets more than it consumes. This represents about 10.71 tonnes of CO2 that is saved each year.

In regards to dogs, we ask our guests to follow these basic rules:
- Your dog is allowed inside the house, but may not jump or stay on the furniture or go into the bedrooms.
- Please bring along your dog’s bedding and bowls.
- When vacating the property, please ensure that the property is left clean and that all dog’s dribble (usually left on the glass doors), dog fur and dog poo is removed. 
- Dogs are not to be left inside or outside of the house whilst you are out - if you go out you must take the dog with you or have it looked after by a dog minder, friend or someone else.
- If your dog chews furniture, digs holes or barks incessantly, please manage this and ensure they do not create any damage or annoy the neighborhood.

A beautiful home where all family is welcome
My husband and I booked Banyandah for our 4 year wedding anniversary. It was just as two and our fur child Buddy. It was the perfect getaway where we could spend quality time together and the backyard was genuinely dog friendly with the property being fully fenced and lots of space. We have already booked our next family stay.

Beautiful weekend retreat
We stayed here for 3 nights and the house has everything you would need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We used the bbq for breakfasts, the fully equipped kitchen for dinners, the fireplace to keep warm, and the board games for a fun few nights. The house had plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 kids, and was located close to the main centre for shops and near the river for walks. The host was excellent with regular communication leading up to our arrival. Highly recommended.

Great birthday stay
The house is just as advertised with all the amenities you could ask for. The decor is lovely and furniture contemporary and comfortable. The fire was beautiful, as we had the first real rain of the season. Cooking facilities are great with a large oven, barbeque and cooktop. We didn't have children or pets with us, however the house has everything you'd need to make your stay fabulous if you did. The bathrooms are beautiful and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The location is perfect and the outlook from the balconies beautiful. Communication was quick and check in easy. We'd certainly stay again.

Awesome little sanctuary
A very relaxing stay in this amazing property. House had all the comforts we needed to relax. Located next to a bush walk along the river and not too far out of the main strip of Margs it was perfect for our family and most importantly our pooch.

Warm, modern getaway
We had a great stay at Banyandah for 3 nights in spring. We had the central fireplace on each night for a beautiful cosy atmosphere. The property manager was friendly and available for our enquiries. Would recommend.

Lovely house in lovely location
This house is lovely, could benefit from air conditioning for the few days in summer as it is uncomfortable at night. There are a few minor things that needed attention, I have advised the agents. Awesome that we could have our dogs stay.

Beautiful house, lovely location
Beautiful house that was nicely presented on our arrival. The hosts were easy to contact if we needed them but everything was wonderful as expected. We were a group of 8 adults staying and having the granny flat made it more spacious, thank you. The only thing the house needs is blinds in the master bedroom and air con. Fans are provided but the weather was a bit warm/humid. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
