This beautiful rustic straw bale house has all the ingredients for a magical holiday. Completely secluded amongst olive groves and bush, with glorious evening light on the magnificent karri trees, you can relax on the front veranda and listen to the sounds of nature, with kestrels, wagtails, blue wrens and frogs all around.
When the wind comes from the West, you can hear the crashing of the surf on Redgate Beach just over the ridge.
The house has the wonderful insulating qualities of straw - cool in the summer, warm in the winter. A wood heater with abundant firewood from our own plantation will ensure your warmth and cosiness whatever the weather!
Stroll around the farm, and you are likely to see kangaroos and emus. Go spotlighting at night in the natural bush behind the house, and you'll find possums, phascogales, bandicoots and maybe even a coupan!!!

The house itself is spacious, with several living areas, 2 TVs with free-to-air satellite reception, a fully equipped kitchen, an enormous dining table made from a marri tree cut from the farm, beautiful lead-light windows and comfortable beds. There is a slate top pool table in the games room.

A short drive down Redgate Road takes you to the wonderful beaches of Redgate, or head to the bright lights of Margaret River only 10 minutes away. The prestigious wineries, Witchcliffe Estate, Leeuwin Estate, Voyager Estate and Regate Wines are 5 minutes away.
Alternatively, just stay put, relax, and enjoy a bit of bucolic bliss!!!

We like to offer favourable rates for longer stays - just ask. We are happy to negotiate. At Easter or Christmas/New Year, we will only consider bookings for at least 5 days. This gives us the time we need and value with our own families, so hope you'll understand.

The Straw House is ideally located for access to everything the region has to offer. The stunning caves of the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge are only moments away, in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park. The Boranup Forest is nearby, and the beaches of Redgate, Gnarabup, Boranup, Conto's etc are all within a short drive. The prestigious Leeuwin Estate, Witchcliffe Estate, Voyager Estate, Watershed, Cape Mentelle and Redgate wineries are all very close, and a meandering drive along Caves Road will take you North to the Metricup region where you can find Vasse Felix, Gralyn, and many many others.
The tiny village of Witchcliffe is 9km south of Margaret River and has the best bric-a-brac shop you've ever seen!

We welcome well behaved dogs of all sizes.
Dogs deserve holidays too! And they do love it here - so much space to run and play.
Owners should be aware that there is no secure dog-fenced area, although the house is 400m from the road, so a safe distance from the sparse local traffic.
We ask owners to keep their dogs off the furniture and out of the bedrooms, and not to leave them unattended inside the house. They can be chained on the verandah, or inside the games room, or shut in the laundry room if necessary.
If they have coats that shed hair, owners should be prepared to clean up the hair for the benefit of future visitors. Owners are also asked to clean up their dogs' droppings from the garden area and around the outside of the house before they leave.
