Balingup Rustic Retreat - Marian Ponds..Saltwater swimming pool, great gardens

It was a lovely weekend away and property is great, beautiful nature and animals however for what it is, its very overpriced compared with other accommodation in the same area. It is a shed, with missing ceilings, no kitchen expected to cook outside in the middle of winter, unfinished panels. Advertising a touch misleading. Wouldnt call it a retreat.

Ian and Marita are exceptional hosts who warmly welcome their guests. The property boasts stunning gardens that create a truly amazing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea and immersing oneself in the tranquil surroundings. The accommodation, with its rustic charm, offers well-equipped amenities including a comfortable bed and a slow combustion wood fireplace, ideal for cozying up during colder winter nights. I highly recommend this wonderful experience! ???

lovely stay with very welcoming hosts. The location was beautiful

Comfortable, cozy, safe. Terrific hosts.

A beautiful property to relax and switch off for a few days. No need to go out and find nature with such a beautiful garden at our fingertips. Marita and Ian were so lovely, helpful and welcoming. Thsnk you guys

Myself and my sister who was over from NZ had beautiful stay. Such a warm welcome from Marita and Ian and they think of everything from chocolates in the fridge, fresh food from their garden including baby tomatoes and Figs. We arrived in the middle of a 40plus degree heat wave and the aircon was already on for us and the pool was fantastic. Highly recommend.

This property could not be more accurately described as Rustic Retreat. It is indeed rustic. And it indeed provides all that is needed to serve as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. As we were driving back and hit Perth, we commented on wishing we were back at the peaceful surrounds of the Rustic Retreat. Thank you Marita and Ian for welcoming us and providing such a quaint and fun retreat for our quick getaway. Also, the sheep and ducks are just too cute and funny!! :)

Lovely surroundings and lovely hosts.

Very comfortable cottage In beautiful surroundings. Attentive & welcoming hosts. We we’re returning guests. Everything good with no downside

Everything was clean and comfortable and as described. Leaves were just beginning to turn (Easter 2023) and we would love to go back in other seasons too. The location is good to visit Nannup, Bridgetown, Donnybrook as well as Balingup itself.

Very comfortable cottage with all the required amenities. Beautiful & peaceful garden area to relax in. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Will definitely return.

Extremely innovative,everything needed was supplied for a comfortable stay.
