Yallingup Forest Resort

We stayed 6 nights at Yallingup Forest Resort in Sep (early spring) with our baby + 2 young kids. Pros - love the forest location - the fresh air, birds - the location was great! close by many wineries & activities for the kids (yallingup maze, country life farm), a short drive to dunsborough town for Coles, food etc. - kitchen had enough tools for cooking + oil, salt & pepper provided. we had no issues cooking meals in the kitchen. - the home was cozy and felt like a home away from home. we were comfortable enough for 6 nights there :) - any issues are dealt with very efficiently by management (we had issue with the heater and ran out of gas on separate days and both issues were swiftly rectified) Cons - no dishwasher & no dryer - don’t expect fancy or tip-top brand new fittings. doesn’t look very new (at least for the chalet we stayed in) but everything was otherwise clean and comfortable Also, expect it to get really dark and quiet at night, which you would expect in a forest retreat. The playground is decent and there’s a small pool which we didn’t get to try as pool is closed for winter months and I guess early spring too. Overall, a very good deal and great place for spending time with family :)

Clean and secluded accommodation. Wildlife to be sighted nearby chalet.

Great stay close to everything.

This is an excellent accomodation choice when visiting the south west. Clean modern chalets set within the bush for a tranquil feel. Fantastic for kids, My only comment would be that whilst I understand this is an eco friendly resort our shower came out at a dribble every time. Very hard to wash a baby and hair etc under it but other than that an excellent stay!

This was a half of a cabin as shown on the Booking site with the other side unoccupied when we were there. I think there is a season here when kids are out of school and all the cabins are occupied. The accommodations were really nice and the place was really quiet except for the kookaburras and magpies trying to get our dinner(amusing). Don't eat on the porch! There was a nice washer to use and a line to hang out clothes. The pool and tennis court looked nice but we didn't use them. There is a hands off approach by management and all the payment was collected in advance. They had good internet.

We loved our stay here. We'd booked a 3 bedroom chalet but that wasn't available so we were given 2 x 2 bedroom chalets with a connecting door. Perfect. Two living areas. Two kitchens. We could do our own thing. And then there's the environment. You are surrounded by bush with other chalets hidden behind trees. Utterly tranquil - if one ignores the magpies singing to wake you up and the sunset laughter of the kookaburras. There's even a small swimming pool in which to cool off after a hot summer day. We'd stay again.

Fantastic place if you love wildlife and the outdoors. Excellent accommodation and plenty of room, close to the Dunsborough township but hidden in the forest, lovely wineries as well. Family of 10 enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended

Lovely, quiet, secluded space. Wouldn't call it a resort, but definitely a retreat. Quite rustic but everything you need, including great wi-fi! :-) Nice walks around the area, very well situated for the region too.

Quiet and secluded location in forest, very private and peaceful. We booked the 2 bedroom chalet for 3 nights. Nearest town is about 6-8mins drive away, not too far, but the drive is a tad scary in the dark (which is quite early this time of year). Very roomy, lots of space, well equipped kitchen, though there were no basics (such as oil/salt/pepper), though there was a small pack of milk provided. Coffee powder provided, but no coffee press. Very strong stable wifi , no password needed, which was awesome. You can login to your netflix account on the smart tv. Washing machine is outside in a separate room, which is not very convenient to get to in the winter cold (and at night). No dryer, so need to wrangle with the clothes line and there's very few clothes pegs provided. Need to clear trash which you need to drive out to, not very convenient. There's a pool and small playground (with a trampoline) Overall, we loved the stay, for its privacy and closeness to nature, but be prepared with food/amenities else you'd be stuck in the middle of nowhere. Bar soap, shampoo, conditioner provided, and there's a bathtub. Toilet is separate from the bathroom, which is good. Strong heating from the main heater in the living room, which was a nice surprise We saw kangaroos (regularly at a clearing on the drive out), a bunny once when we first arrived, and had frequent visits from a kookaburra, which was lovely.
