Grass Tree Heaven
The property was extremely tidy & clean. We had a lovely relaxing time on the property which was beautiful. If you are a grass tree lover, well you are in for a treat. Everything was supplied with a little welcome package of freshly picked fruit, cherry tomatoes, milk & eggs. It was great just bringing what we needed for the weekend. The hosts Marita & Ian were absolutely amazing, could not do enough for you & were super friendly. They even picked a box of fruit for us to take home to the kids. Thank you for making our little getaway stress free 🙂

Idyllic Getaway
From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the hosts. Marita and Ian are the perfect hosts, so easy to talk with and know how to make things so welcoming with all the little personal touches they put in place. The Rustic Retreat gave us everything we wanted in spades and the location was excellent being just off the South West Highway and equidistant between Donnybrook and Bridgetown. We were able to totally relax and take in the wonderful views from the front of the Retreat. Our sadness at having to go home was counter-balanced by the sight of seven, tiny, newly hatched ducklings down by the ponds as we left. Thank you Marita and Ian.

The perfect mental reset
Beautiful property in a gorgeous garden. The accommodation is clean, warm and has all you need for a great get away. Take a walk around the farm, or explore the nearby towns. We loved our weekend, the only downside was that it ended too soon. I could of sat with the hosts and listened to their incredible story for days.
