Exploring the walk trails of the forest and riverbanks brings the magic
of the forest to you.
Serious Hike
The Bibbulmun Track is one of the world’s great long distance walk trails,winding through the heart of the scenic South West of Western Australia.
We can drop you along the track for a day or half day walk. You will return along a beautiful stretch of track along the Donnelly River for a well deserved spa and glass of wine.
Read a Book
Finally finish that book that has been on your nightstand for the last year. Or ... maybe write your own novel.
Mountain Biking
Rather ride your bike then walk? No worries the Munda Biddi comes right past.
The Munda Biddi Trail (which means path through the forest in the Noongar Aboriginal language) is fast becoming a world-class nature-based off-road cycling experience. There are few places left in the world where a 1000km track could be built through an undeveloped natural corridor.
Truffles
The Southern Forests are renowned for their production of the black truffle. Hunt some truffles yourself at the Truffle and Wine Company.
We offer a free drop off and pick up for the 2016 truffle kerfuffle for our guests. You can partake of all the local produce and wines without someone having to be skipper.
Have a little romance
Relax by the fire and listen to your favourite music as you watch the evening mist roll in.
Enjoy a platter
The area boosts an abundance of wineries to visit. Have a platter while you are there. Try the tapas style lunch at Lost Lake Winery or a delicious meal at The Wine and Truffle Company up the road. There are many more to try in the area.
Catch a Trout
Fish for trout in the river or creek in season. The river is stocked with trout twice a year, both upstream and downstream from us.
BBQ on the deck
In fine weather sit out on the deck, have a barbaque and watch the antics of the waterbirds. Keep and eye out for feathered or furry locals.
Relax in the spa
Enjoy a relaxing spa by candlelight, or enjoy the view from the spa in daylight.
Timber Park
Explore the historic Timber park in Manjimup with it's replica town and machinery from the early logging days. The Timber Park now has a great new play area for the kids.
An excellent Cafe ajoins.
Tree Top Walk
If you would like a day or half day trip in the south west we are well situated to give you access to Nannup, Balingup, Bridgetown, Pemberton & Manjimup.
You can spend some time visiting Walpole and the treetop walk, or the many wineries and galleries of the area.
Meet the wildlife
You don't have to go to far to meet some locals. The chalets are frequently visited by kangaroos, emu's, birds and even sheep.
Donnelly River Cruise
Meandering along the 12 km section of the Donnelly River, we will transverse a diverse eco system that is only accessible by boat. From the lush Jarrah and Karri forests, through the Paperbark and wetlands, to the limestone cliffs and majestic Southern Ocean.
Discover the River
The river has bubbling cascades of water in the wet season and tranquil pools in the dry season. And always the sounds of the birds. Take a picnic and local bottle of wine and explore. There is a picnic backpack in the chalet for you to use.
Practise your swing
Play a game of golf on the lovely Manjimup golf course which boasts grass greens. A minimal charge allows you to play all day - you can break for lunch in town and return for an afternoon session if you wish. Visitors are most welcome.
Tall Tall Trees
Don't forget to hug a local before you leave.
A folder of places of interest and a map are provided for your convenience.
