There are three bedrooms: the main bedroom has a queen bed; the second bedroom has two single beds; the small third bedroom has a double bed. All bedrooms are made up with quality bed linen and warm quilts and blankets. In the bathroom, there is continuous hot water for your bath or shower.
There is a large paved undercover area at the back of the cottage, with a gas barbecue and outdoor dining setting.
The north-facing front verandah is ideal for enjoying the bird life or relaxing with a drink as the sun lowers in the sky.
Wifi has recently been installed for your convenience.

An iron and ironing board are provided. However, guests must specifically request access to the laundry, which will then be granted.

THIS PROPERTY

This is a large (approximately 2000 square metres), peaceful, attractive corner property, with well-maintained beautiful gardens. The cottage is an original mill house, dating from the early 1900s. It has been renovated and redecorated to provide very comfortable modern living. The cottage is located on the edge of town, overlooking the State Forest, yet an easy walk from the centre of Dwellingup.

The mill house is wonderful in any season: in winter, after an invigorating walk in the jarrah forest, relax in front of a wood fire with a glass of wine, while a fragrant stew bubbles on the stove; in summer, enjoy a cool drink on the front verandah overlooking the bush, after a day spent exploring the nearby Murray River in Lane Poole Reserve; spring and autumn offer wonderful weather to explore the bush, discover wildflowers, including many varieties of orchids, and relax in the bird-filled garden.
You can remain comfortable in the mill house, no matter the weather. There is a wood-burning fireplace with a glass door, as well as reverse cycle air-conditioning/heating. The 2 larger bedrooms & the kitchen have ceiling fans installed. Also portable heaters and fans are provided, according to the season.

LOCALITY OF DWELLINGUP

Dwellingup is just over an hour's drive south of Perth and is set in the Darling Range among lovely jarrah and marri forest. It is a beautiful, peaceful setting, ideal for an active holiday or a relaxing break from the stresses of modern life.

Mid week 'adventure'
I took my parents and grand children to Dwellingup for an 'adventure' to go on the train into the forest and to climb trees. My parents loved the house, it reminded my mother of the farm house she grew up in, in South Africa; my father, an avid photographer, enjoyed photographing the various birds in the garden. The grandkids loved the ample garden and the highlight was when the neighbours Rooster came to visit! We had a very good adventure in our 'holiday home'.

Peaceful Mill Cottage
Comfortable and quiet. Would enjoy a radio. Shower a little awkward to adjust. Kept turning left. Mattress could be a little more comfortable. A bit firm. Overall a quaint and enjoyable little cottage to stay at. Walk to town.

Peaceful cottage in historical mill town
Spotlessly clean historical timber cottage. Practicality of air con with option of log fire. Shower is over the bath, steps to entry front and rear, consistent with the era. Very well stocked kitchen, good sized fridge. We enjoyed cooking brekkie and dinner. Nice linen, very cosy for our mid winter stay. Easy comms with owner.

Gorgeous little house in a great location!
We had a family of 5 (2xA + 13,12,8yr olds), the property had plenty of space, lovely gardens, it's clean and well appointed with linens and towels, tea and coffee etc. Perfect location for exploring Dwellingup and very close to the tourist centre, skate park with a pump track and pub (amazing meals there!)

Garden house
Generally we were delighted with our stay in this spacious and comfortable house in a large and beautiful garden. However, there was one major problem and that was the shower over the bath. The slippery bottom made it hard to feel comfortable even with the rail to hold on to, and the non-slip mat made little difference so that we had to put the bath mat to stand on. Also the small side screen made it difficult to reach the taps. Unfortunately, this was such a problem that we would not feel able to stay in the house again, which is a pity as the house was lovely otherwise.
