Lewana is situated in a beautiful country setting - a clearing in the timber forest with miles of tracks to explore by foot, mountain bike or 4wd. Lewana is located in a forest with limited mobile phone coverage. A 32" flat screen HD TV is provided with a DVD and USB media player. A selection of DVD's are provided however, if important to you, please bring your own media. The cottage is one of six heritage listed cottages on the property that forms Lewana Cottages. The cottages and other timber buildings are heritage listed by the Heritage Council of Western Australia in their highest category. Lewana is associated with a wide range of land uses, such as pastoralism dairying, forestry and recreational tourism that reflects the changing patterns of usage that have occurred in many areas of the southwest since European settlement. The property is one of only four former forestry settlements converted to a recreation camp in the 1970s before being sold into private ownership. Lewana is an unusually intact former forestry settlement, and so far as is known, the only such place with an arboretum and extensive plantings of more than 50 varieties of exotic and indigenous trees.
