We felt immediately relaxed when we arrived at Black Cockatoo Retreat in Manjimup. The rolling fields, surrounding forest and wildlife were the perfect backdrop for our weekend away. The house was comfortable and we love that it is off-grid. The house was warm during the day as it captured the northern sun and the fire kept us cosy at night. The view from the house is beautiful, relaxing and it’s very quiet.
We took advantage to wander the property in the morning and at dusk to watch the birds and kangaroos. If staying in winter I recommend a pair of gumboots!
If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway close to amenities and other towns to explore, this is the perfect location. Highly recommend a truffle hunt with Coomer Truffles in the winter months and explore the wonderful wineries.
