Perfect Little Getaway
This place was exactly what we were after... and exactly as advertised. An all round great house for people with younger children... or older. So much to do, so many areas to enjoy, entertain or relax and only a few minutes from all of what Margaret River and beyond has to offer. We loved it !

Wonderful place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the aptly named Bella Retreat. It was a wonderful place to not only relax and spend time together, but also a great base from which to explore the area. The garden and surrounds were just magical and we loved saying hello to the local kangaroos and birds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again in the future.

Bushland Bliss: A Relaxing Escape with Friends and Family.
A fabulous retreat surrounded by lush bushland, where the sounds of birds fill the air throughout the day. We even spotted kangaroos in the nearby bush! The meandering garden pathways add to the charm, and there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained — including the "big kids." Inside, the space is well-thought-out, with ample seating and generously sized rooms. The two large bathrooms were perfect for a girls' weekend getaway, offering convenience and comfort. There's also plenty of room to enjoy some solitude when needed. We didn’t lack for anything and truly enjoyed our stay, creating wonderful memories. Thankyou Bella Retreat!

A Truly Magical Stay
Our group of eight adults had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property, and words hardly do it justice. From the moment we stepped inside, the house embraced us with warmth and charm. It's hard to find the right words to describe the beauty of this place, but "amazing" and "magical" come close. The house is spacious and incredibly comfortable, with beds that are beyond cozy, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was luxurious, and the outdoors were simply stunning – a serene garden that felt like something out of a dream.All the information we received beforehand was spot-on, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need, even for a large family. The thoughtful touch of a coffee machine with pods was a beautiful welcome. The house is tucked away in a peaceful, bushy area, just a couple of kilometers from Margs, which made for a quiet, tranquil escape. My friends were in awe of the property, especially the garden, which was a magical space to relax and unwind.We also loved the BBQ area – it was spotless and fully functional, perfect for preparing meals together. And the kangaroos that we spotted in the clearing just down the path were a delightful surprise. It was truly an unforgettable experience.The only suggestion I would have is that the property could benefit from an additional tiny house to accommodate couples who might want to stay separately. That said, this house is simply beautiful, and I would like to come back.

What a fabulous and relaxing week
We had the most amazing time at Bella Retreat. My husband was riding the Cape to Cape race, so each day when he finished, Bella Retreat was the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. the outdoor space was amazing for the children and the indoor space was so lovely and cozy with beautiful fire which enabled us to relax and wind down. The kitchen was better stocked than our own home and there was ample space for food and drink. The giant bath was very appealing to soothe sore muscles and the kids loved it too. We absolutely loved every minute fo our time at Bella Retreat and will def be back! Thanks for everything Belinda!

Magical stay
This property was everything it promised to be and more. The fire pit and playground for the kids made it feel like all the fun of camping, but with a cozy home to go back to each night. The house itself is beautifully presented and very comfortable, just like a home away from home. To be surrounded by such gorgeous bush land was absolutely idyllic and made for beautiful dawn and dusk walks. We had the most wonderful family holiday and cannot wait to return.

A piece of paradise
Bella Retreat is a most wonderful, magical property nestled in Bush just far enough away from the hustle of Margaret River for it to be a haven. The house is tastefully furnished and feels very homely with absolutely everything you need. The boules, table tennis and playground are a treat, even for older kids. The best bit though is the beauty of the nature surrounding the house, fairy wrens, bobtail and the most beautiful butterflies I've ever seen. I sat for hours watching the birds bathe! Belinda was a delight to communicate with, answering our queries quickly. We will definitely like to visit again, loved this place so much.

About the host

Hosted by Belinda Taranto

Host profile image
Blessed to live in Western Australia and in particular to own this beautiful property amongst the peace and beauty of the forest in Margaret River.
We love that you can pop into town to shop, have great coffee, lunch or dinner and it's only a 5 min drive away.
Or in summer, swim and walk on one of the many beaches surrounding us or have a long lazy lunch in one of the many wineries which are in abundance all around us.
Winter warmth around the wood stove or sharing a wine watching the flames dance around the pit fire provide lovely memories.

Why they chose this property

The density of this part of the South West allows you to hop from award-winning wineries and bespoke art galleries, to stunning beaches, tall-timber forests, flowing rivers, world-class surf breaks and ancient caves – all in a single day.

The coastline around Margaret River experiences excellent surfing conditions. World renowned for their size, surfers from around the globe trek here annually in search of Hawaiian style surf, which they often find. Most reef breaks are within easy swimming distance from the shore.

World-class vineyards and wineries will tantelise your tastebuds like nowhere else. Responsible for only 1% of Australia's wine production, that small amount contributes 20% to the finest quality wines in Australia! Tours are in ample suppy which allow you to taste these wines.

What makes this property unique

You have 13 acres of redgum forest all to yourselves. Surrounded by peace and tranquility you will wake to the sound of birdsong.
Experience hearing the endangered White Tailed Black Cockatoos as they fly by and see our native kangaroos roaming in the fields.
With 2 expansive balcony/dining areas, entertaining your family and friends is a pleasure.
Halfway between the township of Margaret River and the sea, you can experience both in a short drive
