My wife and I needed a place to escape to for a couple of days, and luckily we found a beauty.
Tucked away behind a clump of southwestern Forest, Simala Retreat is a modern jewel in the heart of an old region.
Ours was one of three chic chalets dotting the property, each enjoying its own view across the green expanse to the backdrop of native woods, which turn gold with the setting sun.
Continuing the charm, we found the chalet's interior to be a combination of simple and elegant; clean white walls with accents of polished concrete and wood. Leather and bursts of colour brought warmth to the space while we settled in to enjoy some pizza and Netflix on the first night. My wife loved the little luxuries such as the soft bed, deep tub, and monsoon shower.
Everything about the chalet was ideal. We were on the doorstep of the best wineries, a short drive from beautiful beaches, close enough to Margaret River for shopping and exploring, but also remote enough to enjoy the feeling of privacy.
The second night we sat out on the porch sipping Cabernet Sauvignon while watching kangaroos feed at the tree line. We even had a furry little concierge to visit us. Otto was an absolute pleasure and kept us company long enough to enjoy some snacks.
Simala Retreat is the perfect getaway for the busy couple. Many thanks to Simone, Alan and Otto for their warm hospitality.
