What a fantastic and unique place. More like an adventure playground for kids and adults designed by a very handy DIY dad.
Communication with Brian was clear and easy and we found and got into the house with no problems at all. The house itself is a cosy, rustic property located off a dirt road about 15 minutes drive from Nannup. The location is quiet and rural, surrounded by woods and farm land with other houses along the same dirt road, but not visible as the property is surrounded by a good amount of its own woodland. The property looks down on a small valley to a stream at the bottom of the garden, which feeds a large, deep pond - or natural swimming pool, with sandy beach at one end. The garden itself is full of adventure for young children - ages 7-15 would probably have most fun. There is a tree house, a rope swing, tracks through the woods, a wobbly bridge over a stream etc. If you wanted to you could happily not leave the house and have a lovely time walking/exploring the woods and cooking at home in the great barbecue area (also with pizza/bread oven!). For adults there are the outside baths, heated using an open fire underneath for a unique experience. Despite being Summer, one evening it went down to about 10 degrees so we lit the wood burner inside, and it was lovely and cosy then. The kitchen is very well equipped except for the lack of a washing machine. Broadband works well with a dongle, but you have to buy a sim card from the post office in Nannup, so do that on the way through to the house. You can then top up credit on line.
Although you could happily stay and relax at the property, there is plenty to explore in the surrounding region, although distances and driving times are greater than if you just stick around the Margaret River area closer to the coast. Highlight for us was discovering locally farmed Marron - small lobster-like crayfish which were absolutely delicious. Nearby Nannup is a charming small town with a convenience store, post office, cafes, bread shop etc. Visitor centre tells you all you need to know about things to do around the area.
In summary a lovely adventurous, but comfortable place to stay, especially for a family with children (though not todlers)
