About this cottage rental

PERFECT PLACE TO ESCAPE THE VIRUS. We are a AAA 4 Star Rated property on the Blackwood River. WE OFFER A LOVELY, SMALL, ISOLATED AND PRIVATE country property on picturesque Tourist Drive 251. Duffy's house is a three bedroom one bathroom two storey cottage overlooking the property and dam.
Duffy's accommodates up to six (or eight at a pinch) people comprising two QS beds downstairs in separate rooms and one attic bedroom comprising one QS bed and two singles. This cottage has a Raeburn wood stove and Kent fire for wood stove enthusiasts.
Redgum Hill Country Retreat is central to South West District of Western Australia and wineries (45mins to most), 1/2 hour to the edge of great Karri Forests, property walks, arboretum, garden ponds (lots of frogs), access to river, croquet lawn, summer house and garden pavilion. Full house bookings are available. Our property is extremely private and peaceful with over sixty five varieties of birdlife (including Splendid Blue Wrens, Golden Whistlers, Karak and Carnaby Cockatoos, Western Rosella, Red Capped Parrot, Fire Tailed Finch, Rainbow Bee Eater, Dusky Wood Swallow, Grey Strike Thrush and lots lots more for serious birdwatchers) to watch from your verandah or the garden.

Nannup is 10 minutes away by car and 15 minutes to Balingup in the heart of South Western Australia. Our country cottage accommodation is extremely comfortable, clean, well appointed and respectful to our surrounding environment. We respect our natural fauna such as kangaroos and birdlife. Our guests can enjoy them from their verandahs or walks through the property.

OUR GUEST WING (villa) accommodation is adjacent but separate to the main house and slightly more upmarket to our cottage accommodation. The villa is double brick having reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans and fully carpeted with each bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom and WC with a delightful verandah surrounded by fully reticulated gardens, scented climbers, roses, ponds and garden walks.

We encourage well behaved guests who love and respect the natural environment and general sustainability. Those who don't and want to rage, we would encourage to go elsewhere please.

Winter is a perfect time for book reading, warm fires, woollies,scarves, slippers and snuggles.

Summer is a perfect time for long walks, bicycling and bird watching however, there may be times when you must bring your aerogard, hat and boots.

Although not the least expensive, the tariff reflects the quality of our accommodation and is commensurate to the peace, quiet and privacy provided. Redgum Hill Country Retreat is the perfect place for chilling out!!

Our villa rooms are fully serviced with a/c, TV DVD, CD, dining and reading nook, reading books, games, ceiling fans, electric blanket, tea and coffee, separate entry to main house, verandah overlooking gardens, and walks around the property and ponds. Cooked breakfasts are available upon request for an extra $25.00 per person. All bookings must not be less than two nights minimum or 3 nights on long weekends and all public holidays.

Enjoy complimentary chocolates and an aperitif on arrival in your delightfully appointed villa accommodation.

OUR SELF-CONTAINED COTTAGES comprise cedar spas on the verandahs, BBQ, TV, DVD, CD, reading books, games, log fires, overlooking the dam (4 star Duffy's Cottage) and river and forest (3 1/2 star Gumnut Cottage).

GUMNUT COTTAGE is very romantic and quaint with a Juliet balcony adjoining the attic bedroom and cedar spa on the verandah downstairs. Gumnut cottage does not have a laundry, however the main house laundry is available for guests use when required or they can use the laundry facility in Duffy's House when a whole house booking.

DUFFY'S HOUSE is a larger three bedroom cottage with a three sided verandah and wheelchair access for disabled or elderly people.

This is a beautiful little cottage that is great to unplug and turn back time to a simple life. Waking to the sounds of nature is so calming. Only recommend that you look at Autumn - Spring as in Summer you do not get the full beauty of the grounds and local area.

We did have a nice time at the property but there were a few things that dampened the stay for us. It was right on the Blackwood, as indicated but you could not see the river from the property and it was very difficult to access. We were even "recommended" by the owners not to go down to the river. The bathroom was clean however there was a manky old toothbrush left to welcome us in there, the exhaust fan didn’t work, the can of air freshener to compensate was empty and not all the lights were operational. We were rationed with firewood, 10 pieces per day which, when wanting to keep warm as well as use the wood fire cooker for meals, it was not adequate. The wood fire cooker itself didn't hold heat anyway as it had a hole in the side! The second morning we were there my husband went for an early morning ride while my daughters and I slept in. We were woken by 2 men walking around our balcony loudly chatting away while inspecting the spa. This was quite intrusive and not expected at all. My youngest daughter got quite the shock when she came downstairs and saw 2 men walking around on the balcony. Upon leaving on the Saturday morning, we were an hour away from the property when the owners rang and accused us of taking a baking tray. A baking tray!! Why on earth would we take a baking tray??? It isn’t really nice when you go away for a holiday and the last thing that happens it that you’re accused of something that you have not done. It was all a bit odd.

Lovely relaxing stay in Nannup. Beautiful to be able to sit in the spa watching roos and emus toddle around the property. BBQd our breakfast each day on the verandah. Comfy beds. What's not to love? Only thing I'd recommend is bring your food/drinks as Nannup is around 20 minutes away and shops close early. We will be back again 😀

Let's start with the positive - the property is in a beautiful location with lovely gardens; the hosts were friendly; and the accommodation was very clean and well appointed. The major issue we had is that we did not get to stay in 'Duffy's House', as per our booking confirmation, for which a deposit was accepted 31 days prior to our stay. Instead we were informed on arrival by a vague explanation regarding a 'glitch' in the booking system that we would be staying in 'Villas' attached to the main house. No apology or compensation was offered, but we were informed that it would have cost us more if we had booked the 'Villas', which I think was an effort to placate our concerns. I had been in contact with the host prior to our stay and at no time was informed of this issue. Driving from Perth and arriving in the late afternoon, we had a very limited chance of finding similar accommodation at such short notice and had to accept what was offered, which was clearly not what we paid for or were expecting. Although the 'Villas' are nice, they are two separate rooms, each with en suites, and an adjoining lounge and kitchenette. This brings me to our second major gripe - my friend and I both enjoy cooking and had bought food with us to prepare several meals during our stay, as we believed we had booked a house with a full-sized kitchen. Instead we had to use the small convection oven with two hot plates on top and only had access to a bar fridge. We tried to use the gas wok burner on the BBQ but this wasn't working. The kitchenette was only big enough for one person to stand in at a time, so we could not cook together. While we managed, it was not enjoyable. It appeared 'Duffy's House' was occupied during our stay. However, at the time I booked it was available on both HomeAway and another well-known accommodation site, albeit for a higher price than HomeAway. So I fail to understand the 'glitch' unless it is a case that the booking that pays more get 'Duffy's House' and those that pay less are relegated to the 'Villas'? Either way this was very poor communication by the host, who should have informed us of the situation as soon as they were aware of it (and most definitely prior to our arrival!) and given us the opportunity to book somewhere else that suited us better.
