Just WOW. We stayed in the most beautiful chalet set amongst spectacular scenery & the best nature has to offer. It felt like staying in a tree house in a secluded forest. I could live there forever, simply stunning location! Fresh air, cute possums, extra cute bandicoots, beautiful lizards, black cockatoos, kangaroos & many other native species. The location is also home to the most amazing (FYI - they are tiny) spiders that look like rare jewels hanging between the trees. Just like our jaw droppingly beautiful & unique West Australian Peacock spider, these spiders are something you must personally see for yourself. The bathroom is something in itself, it's full glass windows make it feel like you're showering outside in nature. Then there's the large outside spa bath sitting on the rear deck & perfectly placed to watch the sun go down while chatting with native animals. It sounds amazing because it is. We're definitely returning & would highly recommend Hidden Valley Forest Retreat 100%. Enjoy & remember, only leave your footprints.

Everything was perfect.

I loved the peaceful surroundings nestled in nature, right among the forest. The serenity of the area made it feel like a true escape, where you can relax and connect with nature without any distractions. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the forest setting.

While the property was beautifully situated in nature, our cottage, the Stone Stable Cottage, was right next to the owner or property manager’s area. The frequent coming and going of their work vehicles interrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere and reminded us that we weren’t truly alone out there, which took away a bit from the secluded experience we were hoping for.

Liked everything about the property, from the location to the chalet. Everything was tidy, needs a manual for the chalet however. We weren’t able to get the conductor oven fan to work and didn’t know if we were just missing a switch. Utilities, pots etc all good standard and was a plus to the chalet. Bed was extremely comfortable. Flies did get in but a spray was provided which was good. The views were amazing and so was the tranquility of it all. Loved the decking and outdoor bbq, very easy to work too! Privacy was great.

Not necessarily didn’t like but would have rathered a manual on the property outlining all switches, how to operate the bbq and oven etc. oven fan wouldn’t turn on. In our description it was ticked that there was a spa bath and a hot tub. Please make this known on the booking, either or. We were under the impression there would be a hot tub and to our dismay there wasn’t one. Other than that the stay was amazing.

It was a beautiful location, very isolated. The facilities were excellent. Bed was comfortable to sleep in. Location is also great, not too far from all the shops and excitement in margaret river.

Kind of inevitable but just a pre-warning that there are no blinds on any of the windows which feels kind of odd at nights when you can't see who's outside, and wakes you up at 5am every morning with the light that comes through. It was also a bit tough to get to sleep as the animals outside would make quite a bit of noise. Given it's a forest retreat all the above is kind of expected, we just hadn't thought about it prior to booking.

I couldn’t believe how beautiful our lodge was. The huge windows that showcase the surrounding nature provided an unforgettable experience that will most certainly bring us back. There are too many great things to note about Hidden Valley Forest Retreat from our experience. Simply breathtaking! I wish we took more photos, but we were too mesmerised by the lodge and its surroundings!

The WiFi made planning from the lodge a little difficult. Which was explained in the compendium though, and a reasonable trade for the experience of the lodge.

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed how peaceful and quiet the location was. Having a wood fire and spa bath was perfect for a winter stay. The cabin was clean, had great amenities, and a very comfortable bed.

Some small improvements I would recommend include: 1. Ant control. We had ants throughout our kitchen and on dining table so had to store our dry food on the coffee table which was a tad inconvenience. 2. Warn guests about hunting activities. There were gun shots close by when we were having a bath which made us feel a bit unsafe and exposed. Despite these minor inconveniences we had a great time and would certainly stay again.

So gorgeous clean and peaceful and the setting is amazing !! The house is so minimal and the windows so so clean (would love to know how they can get so clean it looks like no windows !) We felt so in nature .

Well it’s isn’t much really but one thing was the power points were a bit of a strange set up we had to use one inside a cupboard and heel swapping the jug to coffee machine etc but hey it wasn’t that bad ! Also no soap bar holder on sink so perhaps a hand wash bottle or provide one so as we don’t spoil the gorgeous bathroom :) that is all !! And that’s being very picky ( more of a suggestion )

We stayed in Eco Lodge II for 4 nights for our honeymoon after getting married in the South West. The beautiful secluded chalet was stunning with views of the forrest from every window. We loved how private and romantic the setting was. Thank you for a wonderful stay Hidden Valley Forrest Retreat! We highly recommend this retreat for couples looking for a lovely quiet and beautiful stay amongst nature.

Beautiful location. Nice and secluded. Surroundings and trees around properties are beautiful. Comfy beds and nice facilities ie bathroom and kitchen.

Isn't really much I didn't like. Only thing I'd recommend for the wilderness cabin would be a bigger fridge and maybe not having a glass table in the living area as smacked my leg during the night getting out of bed to go to the toilet but everything else was brilliant.

The seclusion and quietness is exactly what we were looking for, for a much needed rest from busy day to day life. The outdoor bath absolutely amazing. The wildlife that inhabit the area was varied and great to see. All happy to show themselves to us. Very unique to see Quenda, Brushtailed possums, kangaroos, tawny frog mouth owls, bobtail lizard and others that were a little more shy but definitely out there.
