The Margaret River Farmers’ Market, held every Saturday morning, is one of Australia’s finest, brimming with local produce.

What’s Super Special
The heart of the Guest House lies in its personal touch. Keiran’s fully cooked breakfasts, crafted with local producers and Lisa’s expert recommendations ensure an authentic Margaret River experience. The wood-fired guest lounge and serene gardens create moments of reflection and connection.
Children
The Guest House is an adult-only retreat, unsuitable for guests under 18, including babies and toddlers. This ensures a peaceful environment tailored to couples, solo travellers, or small groups seeking a refined, intimate escape.
Breakfast
Mornings begin with Keiran’s fully cooked breakfasts in the dining area, a celebration of Margaret River’s local producers. Expect artfully prepared dishes; think fresh organic eggs, wood-fired sourdoughs, homemade muesli, and seasonal fruits, with coffee or tea. Served with warmth, these meals are a daily highlight, inviting you to linger and plan your day with Lisa’s local insights on hand.
Eating and Drinking
For dining beyond, nearby options include WAGFG award-winning de’sendant (walking distance), drives to Leeuwin Estate, Voyager Estate, Vasse Felix, Cullen Wines, Masseria or a hop, skip and jump to Settlers Tavern. The Margaret River Bakery is legendary for its sandwiches (we love the ‘Miss Piggy’ on Rye and the raspberry creme brûlée tart) or their famed pies and pastries for a more casual bite. The region’s countless wineries and craft breweries offer further opportunity for exploration.
Things to Book
Enhance your stay with an in-house massage or book local experiences, like winery tours or guided nature walks, arranged by Lisa’s exceptional concierge service. Airport transfers or bike rentals can also be organised.
Notes
With only seven rooms and one cottage, the Guest House is an exclusive retreat, emphasising intimacy over grandeur. The absence of meeting facilities or an on-site spa (beyond in-house massages) keeps the focus on personalised hospitality.
