Buckland Estate is a beautiful estate getaway only 1.5hrs from Perth. If you are after a peaceful, tranquil stay, away from the hussle & bustle of city life & all the noise, Buckland Estate is the place to be. You have a choice of Dempsey Cottage - a 1 by 1 stand-alone cottage, Daisy Cottage - a 2 by 2 stand-alone cottage or individual rooms in the actual main building. We had barely any phone reception on Optus & it was great because it gave us good R&R time away from our devices. There're books, board games, tele & DVDs provided for entertainment though! We much preferred the interaction we had with the emus & chooks, feeding the horses, hiking up the hills, taking dips in the pool, chatting with Russell & Naning, the owners of the estate - who were ever so warm & hospitable throughout our stay. They gave great insight, story-telling & suggestions on where to go & what to do around the Northam, Toodyay & York areas. Our pup - Tella - was very welcomed & had a wonderful time there too. They have beautiful set-ups for weddings & events if anyone is after a destination venue not too far away. We would highly recommend Buckland Estate to anyone looking for a farmstay getaway, and we would definitely visit again too! Thank you Russell & Naning for a wonderful stay!
