We stayed in the Western Rosella chalet for 3 nights during winter and on arrival were welcomed to a cosy, pre-heated chalet with relaxing music playing to set the tone for the rest of our stay. The Western Rosella chalet is the closest to the lake which was nice but also meant it wasn't as secluded as all the other chalets though we still had plenty of privacy.
It is also worth mentioning given the current COVID-19 pandemic that the chalet was very clean, provided hand sanitiser and it was reassuring to smell the slightest hint of disinfectant that must have been used to clean everything before our arrival.
The Forrest, fields, trails/tracks and lake are all meticulously maintained and as a result the kangaroos and birds are in abundance. We also made use of the walking tracks and bikes that are provided to explore the whole place which made for a great afternoon.
The chalet has all the amenities to make it feel like a home from home and we used the Spa and Fireplace everyday.
We would easily recommend this accommodation and look forward to coming back.

Our family was recently fortunate enough to spend a weekend at beautiful Forest Rise, Margaret River. Set amongst amazing Jarrah and native W.A. bushland the chalets are very well appointed and I have to say the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in and we are well travelled both here in Australia and overseas. The local produce "Welcome Goodies" were a lovely surprise and most welcome for later arrivals feeling peckish. They saved us. One special highlight was the beautifully fragrant bathroom goodies made of local W.A. Sandalwood and the glass roof above the spa bath which allowed for enjoying the gorgeous night sky whilst soaking and enjoying a glass of bubbles. Very romantic.

Love, love, love this place! We felt like the only people on the property, it was so secluded. The facilities and thoughtful touches are so well considered and the local region treats are absolutely delicious! The outdoor shower was the best way to start the morning, followed by bike riding the trails, enjoying wine by the lake and enjoying the wildlife - birds, roos and rabbits! The skylight bathroom is absolutely delightful and a great way to relax at the end of the day. Thank you for such a fantastic stay - we will be back next year! :)

We first stayed here years ago, and it has not lost any of its charm. I was really impressed that it doesn’t look aged or tired, everything is still really fresh.
The location is amazing and you can literally go your entire stay without seeing another person - all we saw was wildlife. The bed was extremely comfortable and there plenty of firewood chopped and ready to go. There’s even wifi if that is important to you!
Location is great and it’s only a short drive to breweries/wineries. If they built a walking track to the Beerfarm nearby I’d probably never leave.

For a totally relaxing getaway, this place ticks all the boxes. Surrounded by the Australian bush, the birds and the trees make this place an unforgettable experience. A well appointed chalet and outside shower (a must) gives the feeling of seclusion, but within easy reach of all that the South West has to offer.

We arrived at our secluded cabin to a hassle free hands free check in which was just the kind of simplicity we wanted/needed for this trip.
We had a space close to our accommodation for our car making it easy to unload our baggage and this didn't go unnoticed. 👍
On entry I noticed the pristine presentation of the place and was really impressed.
The kitchen is next level with a decent size fridge to store your food and your days haul from shopping. Big tick as most other places dont offer this. All the things you need to self cater are provided with every little thing thought about.
The bed is comfy, bathroom is bliss with its glass ceiling and the lounge room has comfy lounges where in the colder months you can sit round the log fire 🔥
I've stayed in a lot of places and this is top of my list. I didn't want to leave and will continue to return again and again.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ❤️

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing place to stay during the COVID-19 period and Forest Rise was perfect.
The property is very well maintained from perfect chalets, to amazing walking/riding trails and immaculate grounds by the lake, for a self contained holiday, everything you could possibly amenity is provided.
We enjoyed the spa, fire, bbq and used the bicycles to ride around the property - this was a highlight!
Kangaroos and birds are in abundance and binoculars are provided for your viewing pleasure.
I would easily recommend this accomodation and look forward to coming back.
Thank you for a little treats, we enjoyed the sparkling wine & chocolate.

Amazing couples retreat situated deep in the forest with other chalets barely seen three the trees. We stayed in Elegant Parrot chalet which was well away and very intimate. What was so impressive was the attention to every detail which I feel is not usually considered in guest accomodation . The outdoor shower was amazing right through to the living areas with two bikes to help explore. Extremely reasonably priced a must for couples looking for something special

We stayed in Little Eagle Chalet is was so beautiful we loved everything about this Chalet, it was relaxing, secluded but still close enough to drive to local attractions like beautiful beaches, wineries, restaurants This Chalet was clean and cosy. The bed was comfortable, the coffee machine and pods were a nice surprise. We loved all the little touches the staff has included like chilled bubbles and Beer, local cheese & nuts on our arrival, firewood chopped and ready, The bikes are awesome to go ride around looking at the kangaroos and birds. The perfect place to get away with family or friends or a romantic getaway .
