Breathtaking. To spend time in this part of Western Australia is a dream come true. Talking to people from Perth, they really do believe they live in the lucky part of the country.
And they might just be right. Within a couple of hours, you’ll reach the South West corner of Australia, with breathtaking coastlines, endless trails and untouched forests. The authenticity of this place is like nowhere else on earth and while there are many wellness sanctuaries across the region to choose from, this really is the place to retreat to nature and be received by some friendly and welcoming hospitality from the local communities.
People that care about the environment, their offering and your visit. It’s not a place for big hotels and internationally owned names — and that’s a good thing. Their absence has provided unique opportunities for locals to develop sustainable accommodation offerings with a barefoot-luxury feel only Western Australia can offer.
Unparalleled access to local wildlife, bird song as morning alarms and evening meditations are provided direct to you by nature. Who needs a phone down here, with nature as your nurturer, there’s not much else that matters but who you’re with and where to next. A place you leave feeling truly grateful for some time to yourself.
