Well located for beaches, Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park and all the major wineries - Leeuwin Estate, Voyager Estate, Redgate, Cape Mentelle, Xanadu, Eagle Vale, this delightful cottage offers walking, bird-watching, relaxation in a restful rustic setting.
Cosy and simple, the wood fire will keep you toasty warm in the cooler months, and the excellent insulation qualities of the straw bale construction keep it cool during the heat of the summer.

Cosy little straw bale cottage with a cracking wood fire. Keeps lovely and warm in winter. The farm animals (ducks, donkeys, alpaca's, etc) were great to interact with and the farm has lots of space for walks. Great location with quick access to Witchcliffe and Margaret River. Lovely stay overall. And fabulous it was dog friendly.

Our stay at the chalet was amazing. Being greeted every morning by some very cute and friendly ducks was a very nice start to the day. The chalet had everything we needed and was clean and cosy. The farm animals were friendly, the property was lovely, and the fact that we could bring our Labrador was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

The cottage was ready for us and we let ourselves in. Our host popped in for a chat when we had settled. The kids loved feeding the animals every morning, donkeys, alpacas, ducks, baby ducks, a pig & peacocks, all very friendly. And there’s a great little route around the property for a walk. So peaceful, it was great to getaway from the rat race. Less than 10mins from Margaret river. We will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was exactly what we were looking for - a country break, with a more traditional look at MR region away from the hype of the town centre (only ten minutes away). Straw bale construction is amazing to experience; insulated from the cold, (or heat) we were cosy, with plentiful hot water, comfy beds, surrounded by trees animals and pasture. A bonus - animals to pet, and our dog was welcome. Space to roam- great for families.

We really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. It is in the perfect position to visit the area without being in the crowded Margaret River. The animals are super friendly so don't forget the carrots and be prepared to a "ducks' invasion" every time you step outside.

Awesome farmstay property. Quirky and rustic unique haybale eco chalet. Beautiful friendly animals always ready for a carrot or 2. Andy was down to earth and helpful. If you’re looking for a modern polished property don’t come. If you’re looking for some country charm and a cosy original space with all that comes with rural living you’ll love it. We did. Will return. Thanks Andy. Loved your place.

More like Junkyard stay than farmyard stay.

More like Junkyard stay than farmyard stay.

The property inside was not clean enough for holiday rental standards. The farm yard was more like a junkyard that a farmyard and mos items were broken and falling apart. If I had children I would not have let them run around the yard as it was not safe. I just got the impression the owner was just into making a buck or 2 with the couple of chalets on the property without putting in any effort to make it presentable.

Relaxed accomodation

Relaxed accomodation

This is a nice little hay bale cottage on a rambling farm. It was great for our little girl to have a different experience in the margaret river region. Rather than expensive crowded motels this was much more down to earth with donkeys, Guinea pigs, peacocks, pigs and alpacas. Its quiet, relaxing and pretty private. You are on Andy's property, but he is welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. Our 5 year old loved it. I struggle with asthma so the dust in older furniture was a bit of a problem (an asthma puffer fixed that) but other than this we found all we needed for a comfortable stay, even satelight tv and wifi. This is a great place for families.

This fantastic farm stay was so much fun for the kids. Bring some bags of carrots for the donkeys and pigs and oats for all the beautiful birds and the kids will be entertained for hours. This site is also very close to the amazing caves, beaches and cultural attractions in the region! Highly recommend this farm stay.

Such a beautiful little cottage it made us feel like we were on a farm in France! Andy and Justine are lovely hosts, the chalet is very cosy/comfortable and has everything you need for a week/weekend away. Our 2 year old loved the animals, which were all very friendly and its close to both Margaret River town, the beach, mammoth cave and wineries. We'll definitely be back soon!

Birchfield Farmstay Chalet is quite simply wonderful. Tucked away at the back of the farm so you have heaps of privacy, really quaint and well appointed cottage - nothing fancy but everything you need. Loved the fire place. Kids loved all the animals and the tree house. Andy is a friendly and welcoming host. Will be back for sure...only next time we will stay longer.

Amazing! Will never again book anywhere else again! The farm animals, the privacy, the serenity. This is unbeatable! Thanks Andy! You are the best host ever. Never invading our privacy but always ready to meet every need we may have in spite of the fact that we had everything we would ever need already there! There is just no place to stay better than this! The animals is amazing. Loved the donkeys, alpaccas, chickens, ducks, peacocks, pigs, guineapigs and being able to feed all of them in a petting zoo environment. Thanks so much. amazing experience. Added at least 2 years to our lives. Serenity, peace, tranquility all in one for so much more than reasonable price....
