This is a hidden gem!!
We absolutely loved our stay at Margaret River Hideaway and farm stay! Our kids loved all the animals and loved getting up in the morning for feeding time. The houses were very clean, gated yard so we could bring our two dogs. Kim was so friendly and welcoming. It was a breath of fresh air! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to visit again.

The studio we stayed in was neat and clean. Pots and pans, cutlery, wash basin, stove and even bbq pit were clean and tidy which makes us feels at home especially we when we have to cook for the children. Condiments were sufficiently provided. All were good except that it will be good if tissues boxes were provided too. John was very nice to allow some feeding for the kids even when it was not their feeding day as stated. Overall very recommended for the stay!

I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit. Being a rural property, try as we may, water delivery is not as consistent as may be found in cities, but we're constantly making improvements in all respects.

We had the 3 bedroom chalet. The rooms are not heated. The kitchen area has an air-conditioning unit and the living area has a wood fire which you have to build and tend to the fire. We went during winter and I had some trouble getting the fire to keep going so the living area was relatively cold. Taking a shower was a pretty cold affair because once you stepped out of the shower, the cold air hits you. Not ideal for families with young children. There is no bathtub so you would have to carry your child and shower, which is somewhat dangerous, coupled with the cold air, made for a challenging experience. The animal feeding was fun, although there weren’t that many animals - mainly 4 alpacas, 1 kangaroo, 3 cows, a few sheep, some chicken and ducks. We liked that the animals would roam freely right in front of the chalets, so we could see them as we were having our meals.

Winter in rural Margaret River can be challenging and I do understand that some from warmer climes may have difficulty adapting. Our staff are on hand to assist guests with fire lighting and most get to enjoy the experience and the warmth that they give off. The Superior 3 bedroom cottages have a bath in addition to showers. We do try very hard to please all of our guests and will continue to improve our services, but we can't change teh weather I'm afraid.

Awesome Farm Stay!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay!! A lovely property, the cottage was perfect, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom. Perfect outdoor area, fenced off for the little ones. The animal feeding mornings were great, our little Grandson had an absolute ball, feeding the chickens, Alpacas, goat, emu’s & cows. Wonderful farm stay for us all. The welcome gift, a very nice bottle of wine, and lovely to have supplies for the first morning’s breakfast. Just perfect! The manager’s Kim & Tony were very friendly & helpful, right throughout our 4 night stay!

Lovely winter weekend get away
My friend and I stayed in a studio and it was perfect for us. The studio was clean and spacious with a new kitchen and big oven! The location is fab, it’s about a 5 min drive to Margaret River town centre and there is a pub a few minutes down the road which had pizza specials on a Friday night. Margaret River Hideaway also does animal feeding in the mornings which was a nice experience for young and older. Kim the manager on site is really lovely and helpful.

I loved the free roaming friendly animals, cottages well spaced apart, fire set up and ready to go for you. Cottages were in a great condition, large and spacious suited us two couples and a toddler. Safe, minimalist, toddler friendly. Pet friendly as well, with a gated outdoor space and hard floors. Welcoming starter breakfast of cereal, milk, OJ and all the basic cooking things you need. Location is perfect close to town if you want, just off the highway and beach is close enough if you wish.

Nice farmstay experience
The highlight of the stay were the farm animals. The managers of the place were nice and welcoming. The cottage was nice albeit basic in the amenities. The rooms were not heated, only the living and dining rooms were, so, were cold during the cold weather. There was also no water heater. Fireplace was a nice addition.

I'm not sure what's meant by "water heater" in this instance. We do have gas burners to heat water for showers and for the kitchen. And we supply firewood for the wood fire in living rooms.

Unfortunately, Friday was suffering from acute back problems and the veterinarian was called in regularly to administer cortisone injections. We like our animals to live out their lives on the farm however, on this occasion, we had to go along with the vet's recommendation that Friday be put down. You can rest assured that it was done without causing any pain.

Thank you for your comments. We have found the AC to be sufficient in the pats, however I will consider installing a small wood fire as well. Australians, generally, prefer to snuggle up under a doona and blankets, rather than artificially warming the bedroom.

Being a rural property, all water has to collected from rainfall, or trucked in. As a result, we can't accommodate washing machines in the cottages.

We took relatives from Canada to look at MR.
The cottage was clean and tidy with all the amenities we needed. Particularly pleasing was that it was dog-friendly with a fence around to our wee chap couldn't get out. Our relatives loved the farm atmosphere and enjoyed the animal feeding and talking with the owner. Beds were comfortable and all in all, a plwasant night's stay. Thank you. we'd certainly recommend it to others.

Relaxing natural setting, close to Margaret River
We stayed in a 2 bedroom chalet that was private, clean and well appointed. It had a nice view overlooking fields with animals grazing, and pockets of forest. The free roaming chickens, peacocks and alpacas added another dimension of interest.

Pleasant and clean
Andrew and Hanisi were great and prompt in their care to their clients and especially towards the kids. My kids 6 and 2 enjoyed the animal feeding session and Andrew was encouraging the city-dwelling kids to interact with the animals with safety in mind and a good sense of humour. The cottage number 2 we had was clean and well kept, though the kitchen could have been better equipped with simple convenience items like paper kitchen towel, food wrap, aluminium foil. The reverse cycle AC helped to keep warm in the winter. Though the room rate is considered expensive for the space rented, I would still recommend families to consider this farmstay if u have young children and need easy accessibility to town centre.

Good experience for what it is worth. Some great staff at work. Make sure you check the use by date of ur amenities. The milk bottle kept in our fridge was past its use by date by 5 days. We only realised after we had gulped down atleast half if it - it didn't taste bad though, but would hv expected the staff to atleast ensure that they are not putting any expired stuff!

Awesome as a farmstay can be!
Loved everything about this place. Cookware I must say, is top notch. Grab your grocery from Bunbury Farmers Market otw down and cook up a storm in the very well equipped kitchen! Buy aluminium foil or baking sheets if you're planning to bake! Hot water tap was spewing hot then cold water intermittently without us adjusting the tap but I suppose it's to be expected when we are out in the countryside. Kid LOVED the animal feeding, and couldnt get enough of the animals! A bonus was finding them chooks eggs I think the place is relatively wheelchair friendly, and if we had more time would have loved to stay one more night here. Breakfast basket was awesome. You gotta try the bread. Complimentary wine was of very good quality too. Thanks Liz and Vinnie for your amazing hospitality! We are missing fiesty little Diego already!

Family stay in 3 bedrooms Cottage No. 7
The 3 bedrooms Superior cottage No. 7 is very spacious. Kitchen has all utensils and equipment you need except for dish washer. They even have children's Ikea plastic bowls, plates and cups. There is a standing chair for kids in the toilet to reach the basin. There are additional 2 fold up beds. However, not too sure why all the bathrooms, toilets and rooms' doors cannot lock! Only 1 bedroom's door can lock. Very thoughtful of owners to provide the milk, orange juice, corn flakes and bread on arrival day. Linens and towels are changed only every 4 days. No room cleaning service provided daily. Overall good experience here.
