About this property

Birchfield Farmstay Chalet

Birchfield Chalet is located 15kms south of Margaret River town.
Well located for beaches, Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park and all the major wineries - Leeuwin Estate, Voyager Estate, Redgate, Cape Mentelle, Xanadu, Eagle Vale, this delightful cottage offers walking, bird-watching, relaxation in a restful rustic setting.
Cosy and simple, the wood fire will keep you toasty warm in the cooler months, and the excellent insulation qualities of the straw bale construction keep it cool during the heat of the summer.
The famous Redgate and Conto's surf beaches are a short drive, and the safe swimming beach of Gnarabup is only 15 minutes away.
The cottage has one queen bedroom and a second bedroom with bunks which can sleep 3. There is also a small spare mattress suitable for a child. There is a sheltered outdoor area for bbq dining, as well as a wood fired bread oven for the adventurous!!
Bring some carrots to feed the donkeys - they'll love you for it! There are chooks, guinea fowl, parrots, peacocks, pigeons, guinea pigs, 2 pigs and three alpacas.

Minimum booking 2 nights

Activities

Bring your mountain bikes for a blast through the National Park trails. There is a local surf school, and plenty of wind-surfing or kite surfing for the intrepid. Fishing, whale-watching caving - everything is here or within easy reach.

Dogs

Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Owners need to be aware of stock in the vicinity, including sheep, chickens etc. Kangaroos are also everywhere and should not be chased.
There is a dog kennel near the cottage.
Please keep your dogs out of the bedrooms, off the furniture, and please clean up dog hair in the cottage, and droppings from around the outside.

Cosy farm stay
Cosy little straw bale cottage with a cracking wood fire. Keeps lovely and warm in winter. The farm animals (ducks, donkeys, alpaca's, etc) were great to interact with and the farm has lots of space for walks. Great location with quick access to Witchcliffe and Margaret River. Lovely stay overall. And fabulous it was dog friendly.

Amazing!
Our stay at the chalet was amazing. Being greeted every morning by some very cute and friendly ducks was a very nice start to the day. The chalet had everything we needed and was clean and cosy. The farm animals were friendly, the property was lovely, and the fact that we could bring our Labrador was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Excellent
The cottage was ready for us and we let ourselves in. Our host popped in for a chat when we had settled. The kids loved feeding the animals every morning, donkeys, alpacas, ducks, baby ducks, a pig & peacocks, all very friendly. And there’s a great little route around the property for a walk. So peaceful, it was great to getaway from the rat race. Less than 10mins from Margaret river. We will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great for families.
This was exactly what we were looking for - a country break, with a more traditional look at MR region away from the hype of the town centre (only ten minutes away). Straw bale construction is amazing to experience; insulated from the cold, (or heat) we were cosy, with plentiful hot water, comfy beds, surrounded by trees animals and pasture. A bonus - animals to pet, and our dog was welcome. Space to roam- great for families.

Farmstay in the perfect position
We really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. It is in the perfect position to visit the area without being in the crowded Margaret River. The animals are super friendly so don't forget the carrots and be prepared to a "ducks' invasion" every time you step outside.

Tranquil retreat
Awesome farmstay property. Quirky and rustic unique haybale eco chalet. Beautiful friendly animals always ready for a carrot or 2. Andy was down to earth and helpful. If you’re looking for a modern polished property don’t come. If you’re looking for some country charm and a cosy original space with all that comes with rural living you’ll love it. We did. Will return. Thanks Andy. Loved your place.

Wonderful cottage
The chalet is a wonderful barn conversion that is very comfortable and well equipped. The property owner (Andy) is very welcoming and informative and happy to address any queries you may have. Being a farm stay it was great having all the animals roaming about and being able to take our dog was a bonus. My family would love to return to the chalet.

More like Junkyard stay than farmyard stay.
The property inside was not clean enough for holiday rental standards. The farm yard was more like a junkyard that a farmyard and mos items were broken and falling apart. If I had children I would not have let them run around the yard as it was not safe. I just got the impression the owner was just into making a buck or 2 with the couple of chalets on the property without putting in any effort to make it presentable.
