Absolutely loved this bushland cottage with everything you need inside for a relaxing stay. The bush setting with dozens of kangaroos, cows and sheep at nearby farms, beautiful trees and just a 10 minute drive to Margaret River village and not much further to all the local wineries and craft beer breweries. Super convenient!

Great family vacation spot. Kids are able to run around freely and safely whilst taking in nature. Cottages are well equipped for everything you need. Few min drive to main strip in Margaret River whilst getting the fee of being out in the bush. Would definitely return.

Fabulous forest stay

Quaint rammed earth cottage in forest setting with kangaroos & bird life on doorstep. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, brekky provisions a lovely treat and great to be provided with litre bottles of milk & OJ & not long life rubbish Comfortable bed with electric blanket. Log fire was a treat during the wintry weather we had. Walking trails on property are an easy enjoyable walk. Lovely relaxing forest stay. Highly recommended.

Heaven in the bush

My husband and I have just had a wonderful 5 day stay at Bussells Bushland Cottages at Margaret River. It was so relaxing and after exploring the area it was always wonderful to come home to our little haven in the bush. Being rammed earth the temperature was always comfortable even though some of the days were pretty hot and a couple of the nights quite cool. There is reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans and a wood heater if any of these are needed. The cottage was so well appointed and had everything we needed. I was very surprised to hear that the cottages were refurbished 9 years ago. They are so well maintained that I assumed it was far more recent than that. I love that they are well separated from neighboring cottages so you felt as if you were the only ones there. We never heard any other people even though they were pretty much booked out most nights. Due to being mid-summer there wasn’t quite as many birds as would be seen in the cooler months. But there were quite a few to be seen and heard - especially the red-tailed black cockatoos which are stunning birds. There are quite a few kangaroos in the adjoining farms. There are numerous tracks through the property so it is nice to wander around and enjoy the bush. The coast isn’t too far away and the Margaret River town is just 7kms away so you are pretty handy to all that is on offer in that part of the South West.

Nice stay!

Nice stay. Beautiful bush land setting. Lovely greeting upon arrival. Very close to town. Wasn’t a big issue but providing paper towel/ gladwrap would be really good. Also we couldn’t connect to wifi (no signal) apart from that we had a nice peaceful rest.

Magic cottage in bushland. Super clean and the fire was so welcoming. Managers Jon and Ange are marvellous and even left a complimentary bottle of red and some food for breakfast in the cottage. Lots of kangaroos which was beautiful. Will definitely come again.

The cottages are all far enough apart that you feel like you are in a secluded bushland setting. Watching the kangaroos and birds from the verandah was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Had a visit from 2 very friendly 28s on arrival. The cottage was well equipped & comfortable. We really enjoyed the bushwalks and exploring the property. Centrally located it was a short drive to Margaret River, Cowaramup & Caves Rd. We will be back with the whole family next time!

Be prepared for the cold in winter.

Cottage was good in general except the heater from the usual fan coil unit was insufficient as heating was only available in the main room but not the two bedrooms, which meat it was really cold at night. Fireplace was as usual good enough to heat the main room but insufficient heat for the two bedrooms.

Dodgy incident

More than 2 days after checking out of our cottage while my family was in Albany, We were emailed a picture of a broken window and slapped with a AUD$200 charge to my credit card. In the email, We were also accused of breaking the window and then making a run for it. Questioning our integrity. There was no prior correspondence or call before this email. We were firm that we did not damage the window and I wrote to the cottage management to seek for recourse. The cottage management was unyielding and did not lower the charge. Unfortunately, the whole incident felt dodgy and we end up paying needlessly a lot more for our stay. I have never encountered such an incident before in all my years of staying in chain hotels and needless to say, I will not return.

Perfect setting

The setting was idyllic in the bush land with plenty of areas to walk in and see the wildlife. There were Kangaroos grazing when we arrived. The cottage was clean and very well equipped with comfortable furniture and beds. An exceptionally pleasant experience all round.
