"A true paradise on earth. The hosts Richard and Lorraine made us feel at home in the middle of wildlife sounds and beautiful gardens. The place is in the middle of the best area of South West Australia. A splendid poolside. We stayed 27 days in Australia of which 11 were at the Merribrook Retreat; what more to say..."

Opulent most relaxing luxurious getaway.
"Richard and Lorraine are wonderful hosts and this is a truly wonderful getaway and chance to escape from busy modern life. Surrounded by rich forest and wonderful vineyards there's lots to occupy here. My luxurious cabin was so comfortable and well appointed, I had some delicious gourmet opportunities locally and look forward to a very early return visit."

Imagine your own architecturally designed Margaret River accommodation villa spaciously nestled amidst lush landscaped gardens overlooking a private freshwater lake and pristine virgin forests.

"On behalf of my husband Antony & I we would like to thankyou & the owners of Merribrook for the most beautiful, tranquil and relaxing holiday that we have ever had over the March long weekend!

We will be recommending Merribrook to everyone as it is like nothing we have xperienced before. Our room was gorgeous and the bed was soo comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the entire retreat was breathtaking!

I will miss seeing the Roo's every evening. Thankyou again for the little gift of choccies and the attention to detail as we were celebrating our 1 year anniversary- you were extremelly helpful and very proffesional and friendly!

It is amazing that 2 days at Merribrook felt like a week of relaxation! Thankyou again & we hope to see you in the near future.

Malinda & Antony - February 2009


At Merribrook Retreat, you have the freedom to do as much or as little as you desire. What ever the weather, the 20m solar heated pool, wood fired sauna, outdoor spa and day bed are always inviting.

Wander along our 3km walking and running track, by lakes, old orchards, groves of olive, stone pine and cork oak trees.

Additional extras can include massage and pampering treatments, gourmet baskets, chocolate hampers, advice on wine tours and Discovery tours.

Merribrook Retreat, Margaret River is family owned and run ensuring warm personal service, excellent local knowledge and a relaxed informal atmosphere. Merribrook, where nature is the star

"Among the pioneering properties in magnificent Margaret River, the multi-award-winning Merribrook has always set the bar high. A recent million-dollar makeover has given a 21st-century tweak to the retreat's nine rammed-earth villas, with the same impressive facelift applied to Lake House."
Lorraine Ironside, The Weekend Australian, April 8th 2007

Getting There From Perth by car - take the main highway south, perhaps the Kwinana Freeway (usually the route through Mandurah and Bunbury is the most common). Do not actually drive into Busselton, but take the bypass and turn left onto the Bussell Hwy south towards Margaret River. After about 25 minutes you'll come to COWARAMUP, a small township. Drive through Cowaramup and approximately 1km on the right hand side is Cowaramup Bay Road, turn here and follow for about 6kms. Turn left onto Armstrong Road (you can see Olio Bello from the road) and we are at the end of a beautiful winding forest road, nestled beside a fresh water lake.
If you arrive by bus or plane, take a taxi from Margaret River. We are only a short 15 minute drive from Margaret River.
Parking Your car park is in a natural setting behind the villas.
Things To Do The Margaret River Region is famous for its world class wineries, pristine white beaches, limestone caves, tall forests, beautiful bush walks, fine galleries, restaurants and shops.
