About this chalet rental

Umatah means "you matter". Umatah to us, Umatah to yourself, Umatah to those around you and Umatah to the environment. Umatah is part of the original State Brick Works that was closed down in the 1940’s after their excavations hit an underground spring. The property runs on organic principles and has a mango orchard, apiary, vegetable wicking beds plus various other fruit and nut trees. There is a large waterhole, landscaped gardens and endless native bushland.

The Space:
Umatah Retreat Chalet was designed to nurture wellness and stimulate your senses to encourage relaxation. The chalet is disability friendly with wide doorways and ramped access**. It is surrounded by native bushland and overlooks the tranquil waters of the historic quarry, with city views as the backdrop.

Umatah Retreat Chalet has an open plan living space with full kitchen, two bedrooms, large bathroom and outdoor alfresco area. The bedrooms consists of one master suite with king bed and a second bedroom which can be configured with either two long singles or one king bed.

The outside area is fenced from the main property to keep our friendly dogs, ponies and alpacas off your deck.

Guest Access:
In addition to Umatah Retreat Chalet, guests will have access to the 'green', waterhole and surrounding bushland areas.

Umatah Experiences:
- Kayak on the quarry
- Bird watching
- Bush walking
- Mountain Biking (BYO bike/gear)
(bushwalking and mountain bike tracks are right behind our property)

Love you, because you matter

This was my second stay at Umatah, and it was every bit as fabulous as the first. The restorative effect of sitting on the deck taking in the view, listening to the birds sing and watching as the light changes as the hours pass cannot be overstated. We just loved it. The chalet has everything one could possibly need. It’s very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the location is fantastic. We’ll be back again, no doubt about that! Thanks for everything, Jade, you are a wonderful host and person ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family loved our stay at Umatah retreat. The house itself is beautifully designed with lots of thoughtful touches to make the stay more enjoyable. The house and surrounds had plenty to keep our small kids occupied, and they’re already asking when we can go back and have another holiday. We easily could have stretched our stay out longer. The position of the house gives spectacular views through to the city and we loved waking up to coffee and winding down over a wine looking out at the trees. We highly recommend Umatah to anyone considering it.

We feel like our cups have been refilled after a few days at Umatah! The photos don’t do it justice - it’s such a beautiful house in serene bush surroundings. All the quality finishes and decorative touches give such a sense of luxury, and the personal touches are simply wonderful. Fresh eggs, milk, juice and butter in the fridge, with coffee, tea, marshmallows, popcorn and more in the cupboard. And the books, games and beautiful view will keep you entertained for hours. Jade and Heath have thought of everything! Have already booked to return. Thanks so much to the fabulous hosts 😊

Special is probably the best description of Umatah. We are not overly picky but we do like quality & interesting, but we are often disappointed when what you see in the pictures does not match up with reality. At Umatah the WOW factor is far better than the pictures. There has been no corners cut anywhere in this lovely place. We stayed for 6 days and everything that we even thought might assist our stay was right there ready for us to use. I would love a special rating for places like this so they were easy to identify and enjoy. I would use this as my weekender but a bit far from NSW for that sadly. Thanks very much to the hosts for doing this so well.

The photos do not do this place justice! From the immaculate inside and furnishings, to the breathtaking views outside, this was truly our favourite place. The playgrounds kept the kids entertained, aswell as the friendly ponies and alpacas. The attention to detail that Jade puts in to make your stay is amazing and is a true testament to the amount of love and hardwork at Umatah.

We came late in the evening directly from Germany and had no possibility to buy any food. Jade provided us with more than basic food to have a relaxed start. The Chalet is wonderful and perfect equiped with high quality.The view from the terrace with Perth skyline is fantastic. If Australia weren't so far away from Germany we would be permanent guests. We highly recommend this accommodation.
