The north-facing front verandah is ideal for enjoying the bird life or relaxing with a drink as the sun lowers in the sky.
Wifi has recently been installed for your convenience.
An iron and ironing board are provided. However, guests must specifically request access to the laundry, which will then be granted.

THIS PROPERTY
This is a large (approximately 2000 square metres), peaceful, attractive corner property, with well-maintained beautiful gardens. The cottage is an original mill house, dating from the early 1900s. It has been renovated and redecorated to provide very comfortable modern living. The cottage is located on the edge of town, overlooking the State Forest, yet an easy walk from the centre of Dwellingup.
The mill house is wonderful in any season: in winter, after an invigorating walk in the jarrah forest, relax in front of a wood fire with a glass of wine, while a fragrant stew bubbles on the stove; in summer, enjoy a cool drink on the front verandah overlooking the bush, after a day spent exploring the nearby Murray River in Lane Poole Reserve; spring and autumn offer wonderful weather to explore the bush, discover wildflowers, including many varieties of orchids, and relax in the bird-filled garden.
You can remain comfortable in the mill house, no matter the weather. There is a wood-burning fireplace with a glass door, as well as reverse cycle air-conditioning/heating. The 2 larger bedrooms & the kitchen have ceiling fans installed. Also portable heaters and fans are provided, according to the season.

I took my parents and grand children to Dwellingup for an 'adventure' to go on the train into the forest and to climb trees. My parents loved the house, it reminded my mother of the farm house she grew up in, in South Africa; my father, an avid photographer, enjoyed photographing the various birds in the garden. The grandkids loved the ample garden and the highlight was when the neighbours Rooster came to visit! We had a very good adventure in our 'holiday home'.

Comfortable and quiet. Would enjoy a radio.

Spotlessly clean historical timber cottage. Practicality of air con with option of log fire. Shower is over the bath, steps to entry front and rear, consistent with the era. Very well stocked kitchen, good sized fridge. We enjoyed cooking brekkie and dinner. Nice linen, very cosy for our mid winter stay. Easy comms with owner.

We had a family of 5 (2xA + 13,12,8yr olds), the property had plenty of space, lovely gardens, it's clean and well appointed with linens and towels, tea and coffee etc. Perfect location for exploring Dwellingup and very close to the tourist centre, skate park with a pump track and pub (amazing meals there!)

Nice private cottage for the weekend

Generally we were delighted with our stay in this spacious and comfortable house in a large and beautiful garden.
However, there was one major problem and that was the shower over the bath. The slippery bottom made it hard to feel comfortable even with the rail to hold on to, and the non-slip mat made little difference so that we had to put the bath mat to stand on. Also the small side screen made it difficult to reach the taps.
Unfortunately, this was such a problem that we would not feel able to stay in the house again, which is a pity as the house was lovely otherwise.

Lovely stay thank you. House was quirky and well equipped. Only thing that we could have done with was laundry facilities if we were staying longer but there were ample bedding and towels. Kids lived playing in the garden

Lovely getaway
My family had a great time at the Dwellingup mill house! The cottage and gardens are gorgeous and peaceful, we felt surrounded by nature and very relaxed. The house was comfortable well stocked, and it was a short walk to the town centre where the kids were excited to use the skate park and bike track.
Even though the temperature was high 30’s during our stay, the house and gardens felt cool and we barely used the aircon.
A shirt drive away to lane Poole reserve and trees adventure means there is lots to do.
Thank you for a lovely break! Liz
