Perfect place to enjoy the wine region

Beautifully appointed house right on the banks of the Wilyabrup Brook, a stones throw from Flutes Restaurant and on the door step of the Wilyabrup wine region. A fantastic place to relax and enjoy everything the region has to offer or enjoy the wood fire and relax at the house.

Peaceful stay

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The house is located in a very peaceful spot with only wildlife noises to be heard. We especially loved having picnics outside on the lawn overlooking the brook. The house had a great layout and was well suited to our family. We were able to put our baby in the rumpus room at the back away from the noise of the family room where she slept very peacefully!

Amazing bushland setting

Our Spring Vacation

We had a lovely stay, the weather was kind and in a lovely location. The house was very comfortable with plenty of puzzles etc to keep us busy on a rainy day. We were surprised of the lack of wildlife though which was a bit disappointing however the flowers were amazing.

Lovely comfortable house

The house was beautiful, comfortable, clean (except for the bbq). Great location, great deck, good kitchen and laundry. It could have done with a larger airer. Small thing but as it rained the whole time we were there and there were 5 of us, the tiny one provided was quite useless. Pillows were quite soft, and no wood in house on arrival, raining, so wet wood outside. Hot water takes a long time to come through in several locations. Shower leaked in 2nd ensuite. All smallish things but still things. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, beautiful to wake up to running stream.

Beautiful, tranquil property!

My husband and I, together with another two couples stayed at your amazing property during July 2017. The property was even better than your online pictures. It so lovely waking up to the kookaburras every morning and looking out on such a beautiful vista of the stream running past the property. It was the most perfect location and all our needs were well and truly met. The house was very clean, with clean crispy sheets. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the living room was wonderful to relax in and watch a movie at night. Each couple had their very own bathroom and there was even another entertainment area, when someone wanted to watch something different to the others. It was wonderful returning to the property after a day of wine tasting and sightseeing. I have already recommended your property to some of my friends and family and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. We hope to return again sometime soon.

Beautiful views and fantastic home away from home

We had a group of 11 friends staying over the Easter Break. The property was brilliant. Nice and clean, homely and had a lovely outdoor area overlooking the river. We walked to the winery for lunch one day. Great food and would highly recommend doing this on your stay. Will definitely have to stay again sometime soon.

Fabulous house in a magnificent location!

It was WOW factor as soon as we walked in the front door! We had 3 couples stay for a long weekend and loved the size of all the rooms, and that we had a separate bathroom each. The kitchen was huge and extremely well stocked! However, we actually spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the most magnificent views from the deck, or we were down at the creek enjoying the water and wandering around the beautiful grounds. I would love to go back and enjoy the house and views in the winter and get the pot belly glowing! A great house for families and couples alike. We'll be back.

Absolutely Perfect!

We had such a hard time trying to find accommodation for a quiet hens weekend away for 13 girls! But as soon as we found Wilyabrup we contacted the owner who was so helpful and went our of their way to make sure we could be accommodated! The booking process was stress free and on arrival we were welcomed by the beautiful sounds of the river just next to the house and a fire ready to warm us all up! We felt so spoilt. The whole setting was magical; waking up in the morning with the sun rising over the foggy river was so lovely and coming home after a long day of touring around and just relaxing on the couch was the perfect end. We never had any issues with bathrooms with so many people, it was perfectly designed. We will definitely be back again perhaps for a little couples weekend away!
