If you are looking for a beautiful secluded cabin to get away to this is it. The cottages made from un polished red earth bricks, which as a Canadian I had never seen before. It gave the cabin a really natural feel, kind of like the Australian version of a log cabin! You checkin, book, and pay though the Pemberton Wine Centre, we arrived after hours so the cabin name was given to us prior to arrival and the door was unlocked.
There is a fully stocked kitchen with a gas stove top and mini fridge so we were able to cook all of our meal which was great. There is also a good sized living room with a flat screen and about 15 movies to choose from. We came to Pemberton for my boyfriend Mark's birthday so having such a comfortable "home" was exactly what we wanted so that we could just stay in and really relax.
The bedroom had a king sized bed (YAY!) and in the en suite there was a shower as well as a large spa. I used the spa every night, the jets were heavenly!
To heat the cabin there is a wood stove which adds to the natural rustic feel, and you are supplied with a large pile of dry wood so there is no scavenging required.
The Pemberton Wine Centre and the cottages are both run by the same family who live on site. They are very friendly and their family dog Aly was a welcome morning visitor on the patio each day. I also got to see my first kangaroos here as they liked laying in the sun on the grass by the wine centre. The scenery here is stunning, I cannot believe how much I fell in love with the Karri forests!
If you like to have a secluded and private residence on your vacations next time you head south check out the Marima cottages, your only disappointment will be having to leave!
