Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary Margaret River Region

This place is really peaceful and a great way to de-stress. The interaction with the local animals is amazing, with kangaroos and woylies almost knocking on the door looking for a treat. The accomodation is good, and has everything you need when staying away from home. The chalets are spaced really well so you can have a private getaway. We love the private spa and relax in there 2 or 3 times a day.

Seeing the Kangaroos and the Woylies was a fabulous experience. The little blue wrens and Possums were so cute too. The chalet was a perfect place to get a bit of respite from a challenger role of a carer. It was a great getaway.

We had a great time here, so many animals our kids loved it. We were greeted at our cabin by 4 kangaroos and then throughout the evening saw bandicoots, woylies, possums and rabbits. They come right up to your door.The rooms were incredibly clean and tidy and had a lot more than we expected. Even a washing machine and fireplace.We ended up staying in and having a bbq both nights, felt a lot more relaxing than going back out after a long day sight seeing and driving.We have 2 primary school aged boys and a 6 month old, the owners were very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this for people with young children, it was very nice.

Absolutely loved our stay here! It was such a great place to disconnect and relax. We were greeted by kangaroos as soon as we arrived and they kept us company while we had a bbq. At night, a few of possums and woylies came out to say hi while we were in the spa. The chalet was beautiful and cosy and had so much character. I have recommended this place to all my friends and I Will definitely be coming back again!

What a relaxing week at Yelverton Brook! Having no wifi was a bonus ;) though our kids didn’t think so initially. But by the second day they said “we love being surrounded by nature!”We still had access to mobile data tho.Joy and Simon have equipped the cottages with more than we could ask for - whether for cooking / bbq or entertaining ourselves with good ol’ board games and a collection of DVDs. The gentle wild life at our front porch were the highlights every morning and evening. We established a routine where we would sprinkle food twice a day to encourage the animals to visit us.We feel recharged!

Spent 3 nights at Yelverton. It is a beautiful tranquil place and had multiple visits from Kangaroos, possums and saw a Woylie for the first time. Great spot to explore Margaret River from and then escape back to your own bushland paradise and relax in the outdoor spa. Joy was on hand instantly to answer any questions we had. Thanks guys for the holiday and we will be back for another bush escape.

My husband and I stayed in the Banksia chalet here for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon. The chalet is clean and comfortable and has everything you could need during your stay. At night we had possums and woylies surround our chalet and we had kangaroos greet us for breakfast. Truly spectacular. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be visiting again next time we are in Australia. Thank you Joy and Simon for having us! Ellen and Ewan.

Jess and I loved staying at this place while holidaying in the south west of Western Australia. It is not far from Margaret River. The best part was the native animals which came to welcome us every morning and night.. The Kangaroos wanted to be fed by hand and the possums and bandicoots were fed in bowls. Enjoyed having a spar after a day of visiting wineries . A spar under the stars, very relaxing. Our hosts Simon and Joy were very helpful and friendly. They told us all about the popular places to visit and provided us with eggs from their chooks and milk. The beds were very comfortable and the chalet was very clean.

We just can't get enough of this place. It's the perfect retreat for anyone. Single? Perfect. Couple? Perfect. Friends? Perfect. Family? Perfect. We come every year as a family, to disconnect from the city life. We get to just sit and enjoy nature, and relax under the stars. Also love a good fungi hunt, this place even has the bioluminescence fungi which was a real treat. Joy and Simon are amazing, and they always have good stories to tell as well. We've had to try other places occasionally due to Joy and Simon taking a much deserved holiday themselves, and can honestly say that nothing has even come close to what Joy and Simon offer. Keep it up!
