Like many of our guests, we used to escape from Perth and travel frequently to Margaret River. In 2011 we found this property and fell in love with it. By October it was ours and the journey began. As travellers, we found it difficult to find quality, dog-friendly accommodation so we set out to create a place we could be proud of and hoped that others would adopt it as their home away from home as
well. We started with the existing homestead, Maya. As we learned from our guests, we grew Redgate Forest Retreat. In 2013 we added Djarlma Chalet for couples and small families. In response to guest queries about access for family members with movement restrictions, we engaged a local builder and designed Wongin Chalet. In 2015, Wongin Chalet came online and we liked it so much, we duplicated it by building Kanana Chalet in 2017. There are exciting developments ahead, so keep watching and keep visiting!
