Charming Serenity!
Loved our stay! Lots of room, privacy, serenity galore! All amenities included, bedrooms were really impressive with gorgeous bathrooms, lots of options for dining, indoor or outdoor on the decking overlooking the dam. I enjoyed my yoga practise outside each morning whilst the kids fed the donkey, alpacas and sheep! WIFI was very slow, but worked well on the outside decking and since outdoor areas are abundant with comfortable couches, tables and chairs the kids were happy to watch a movie on the undercover decking area! Lovely owners, very accomodating! Natalie x Do

Relaxed Farm Stay
A beautiful farm stay with all that we needed, plenty of space and well stocked amenities in picturesque countryside. Kids loved the animals and outdoor living. It was a welcome disconnect from modern electronic disruptions. Karl was a great host, letting us relax and explore at our leisure while attentive as well.

How's the serenity? WOW!
If you are looking for a place to relax and rejuvenate away from people but within an hour of the city - this it! Set in gorgeous bushland Solo Gratia Country Stay is simply heavenly! The house was perfect for weekend away with my sisters and nieces, with a fully equipped kitchen, ample couches and tvs and the most comfortable beds. The great outdoors beckoned from the doorstep complete with resident animals for the kids (... ahem... and adults) and a gorgeous vista across the dam to the hills where kangaroos grazed, many with joeys in pouches. While the lack of phone and internet may concern some, there is access to Wi-Fi from the stunning outdoor entertaining and relaxing zone. I wish I could live here! Will definitely be back soon.

Amazing country stay
Such a relaxing and beautiful place to stay with your family and pets. The yard is big for your fur kids to roam around and you feel in the now surrounded by nature and a beautiful little lake. Terrina and Karl are so welcoming and really put so much love into this place. A must visit destination on a gorgeous farm. You can also feed the farm animals & do a big walk around the property and there are shops and awesome places nearby. Highly recommended. From Anna and Paul

Beautiful stay
Our stay was absaloutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything looked lovely inside and out. It was peaceful and relaxing. Karl took us to feed the animals both days at 5pm and he was so helpful the way he treated our children. He even remembered to bring carrots for the donkey on the 2nd day haha. House was well equipped with kitchen stuff and bed linen. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful and peaceful location
The views from the property were stunning. Lots to do: feeding the farm animals, rowing the boat on the dam, and outback splash not too far away. Also a great place to relax, unwind and watch wildlife. House was lovely, clean and comfortable, lots of aircon and fans to keep the house cool which served us well on a 40 degree day! Owner was very friendly and accommodating. We stayed with teenage children, a baby and two dogs - everyone had a great time.

This holiday was exactly what we needed as a family to slow down and reconnect.
We had a lovely week where life was paused for a moment in time and our family got to experience the beauty of nature without distraction. A great well needed start to 2023.

About the host

Hosted by Terrina Zornada

Host profile image
Karl and Terrina are both surviving parents on the other side of raising our beautiful children. We now get to invite, welcome and enjoy meeting other people and their families at Sola Gratia Country Stay.

We live on the property, close, but not in your space. We can be contacted easily if you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Our property and home are unique, we are so fortunate to have a large dam that centers our home. This added feature brings to life the serenity of country life. It invites the wildlife to our property, giving our guests a close-up view of the Australian Wildlife; right at your back door.

The other advantage of our property is its location. Far enough from the city to feel like you are in the country, yet not too far away that you can't venture into the city and other surrounding places for day outings.

WA is known for its beautiful coastlines, so these too are easily accessible from Sola Gratia Country Stay, located only 1hr away.

What makes this property unique

Our property offered a total getaway from city life. If you want to experience silence and clear starry skies at night, then we are a place for you and your family.
Alternatively, if you are wanting a property that will provide hours of outdoor fun for your children and/or pets, in the safety of a fully enclosed backyard, AND farm animals to interact with, then this is a great place too.
Or, you might be looking for a place to wine and dine with friends, we have an amazing entertaining area that looks beautiful at anytime of the day. A grassed area for picnics, pizza oven and a sunken seating area, a fire pit and a bar overlooking the dam. It's a great place for the gathering of friends. (small groups only).
