My husband and I stayed three nights here and loved it. The location can't be beat for hiking, swimming, snorkeling or just driving to see the beautiful scenery. The view, from the cottage of the Frankland River is wonderful and the numbers and varieties of birds make you keep hold of your binoculars. The grill is spectacular and sitting out... More

We stayed in a 3 bedroom chalet, basically a large comfortable house. Our chalet was positioned up on the gently sloping hill, giving us both privacy and fabulous views over the inlet. The chalet includes everything you need for cooking, and relaxing. The kangaroos feeding at dusk is a treat, we have lots of photos! The bedrooms are comfortable and... More

We really enjoyed our 2 nights in the chalet called "The Promised Land". Margot the owner was very helpful and welcoming. We were far away from other chalets and never felt overlooked. The chalet was very clean and had all necessary facilities. The bed was firm but comfortable and the shower was lovely (but bring your own soap). The TV... More

We have just spent two nights at the Retreat. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Margo who showed us to our 2 bedroom chalet. Immediately we were impressed by the spaciousness of the grounds and how well they are maintained. Plus each of the chalets are privately located. We had a great view across to the Franklin River....

A lovely spot surrounded by nature on all sides and a slither of view across the beautiful Walpole countryside and Nornalup Inlet. The self-contained chalets are basic but clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water, a decent kitchen, a terrace and a bbq. The bbq (hot plate style) was little old, but we didn’t use it. With semi wild... More

We stayed here just after Christmas, for 5 nights with our 2 young children. I can't recommend this place enough! The owners were incredibly welcoming, and warm. I see someone else was a little put off by the "kids camp" style when being shown around the chalet, but I thought it was more helpful than anything. And other than that,... More

The ducks and birdlife were pretty amazing too. Whilst staying here dont miss the Eco Boat Trip .. a wonderful day out. We have... More

We stayed here for one night on our way from Margaret River to Albany. It was so lovely, peaceful and quiet...just the sound of birds and of the sea in the distance. We wandered down to the river late afternoon and were delighted to see two dolphins! Our 2 bedroom cabin (the closest to the river) was very modern, clean... More
