Boranup Cottage

Boranup Cottage is a secluded, self-contained forest retreat set on expansive private acreage within the iconic Boranup Karri Forest, directly bordering Cape Naturaliste National Park. Surrounded by towering karri trees and native bushland, the cottage offers a rare sense of privacy and immersion in nature, making it ideal for couples seeking a peaceful escape, as well as families or small groups wanting space to relax and reconnect.

Constructed from rammed earth and limestone, the cottage has been thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into its forest surroundings while providing year-round comfort. Thick natural walls help regulate temperature, keeping the interior cool in summer and cosy in winter. Inside, the space is warm and inviting, with generous living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a wood fire that becomes the heart of the home during cooler months. Guests can unwind in the spa, enjoy long alfresco BBQ lunches, or settle in with a book as the forest comes alive around them.

Wildlife encounters are a highlight of any stay at Boranup Cottage. Kangaroos, emus and a wide variety of native birdlife are regular visitors, often spotted moving quietly through the trees or grazing nearby. With no close neighbours and minimal light pollution, evenings are peaceful and star-filled, offering a true sense of escape from everyday life.

While the setting feels wonderfully remote, Boranup Cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of the Margaret River region. World-class surf beaches, fishing spots and scenic coastal drives are all within easy reach, as are the famous limestone caves, acclaimed wineries, cellar doors and local produce experiences the region is known for. The cottage also sits close to sections of the Cape to Cape Track, making it an excellent base for walkers and nature lovers.

Adding to the convenience, Boranup Fine Furniture and Art Gallery and the popular Pies and Ale café are located within walking distance of the cottage, perfect for a relaxed coffee or casual meal. For additional dining, supplies and services, Karridale Tavern is approximately seventeen kilometres away and offers a bistro, bottle shop, fuel and general supplies.

Despite its tranquil forest location, Boranup Cottage remains within comfortable driving distance of Margaret River, Augusta, Hamelin Bay and nearby cafes, galleries and attractions. It offers the ideal balance between seclusion and accessibility, combining a genuine South West forest escape with the freedom to explore everything the region has to offer.
