We are about 100 metres from the road, and occasional local traffic can be heard. Please kindly note that the cottage is not suitable for children due to the delicate furnishings and unique features within the cottage. However, infants are welcome, and guests are kindly asked to bring their own portable cot to ensure a safe and comfortable sleep for the little one.

Basic pantry items are provided, including instant coffee, coffee pods (Lavazza), tea, sugar, milk, salt, pepper, vinegar, and olive oil. Just over an hour from Perth and 20 minutes from Mandurah, named Australia’s Top Tourism Town, Red Gum Cottage is perfectly positioned near Yalgorup National Park, nestled between the Peel Inlet and the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by native bush and towering Marri trees, the area is rich in birdlife, with red-tailed black cockatoos and other native species often spotted from the verandah. Beautiful beaches are just down the road, and the calm of the inlet offers scenic walks and quiet places to unwind. Whether you’re here for nature, stillness, or a slow weekend escape, this is where the bush meets the coast, and time moves a little slower. Registration Details STRA62112JOJO5IM
