The Dell Dardanup

Offering a uniquely Australian and idyllic experience, The Dell Dardanup has been in the same family for 135 years. The grand homestead is perfect for groups of up to ten people and is perfectly situated to explore the surrounding South West region. Located on 52 hectares of farmland just out of Dardanup near the regional city of Bunbury in the south-west of Western Australia. The property has been in the same family for 135 years and the five bedroom homestead with wrap around verandas was built in 1922 and heavily influenced by the Arts & Crafts Movement which is evident in the decorative jarrah woodwork. French doors lead onto wide verandas perfect for spying kangaroos or sipping a tall drink at dusk. It is a wonderful house for groups of people, it's a social house but with plenty of space so you can have privacy as well. The house is furnished with a collection of family heirlooms original to the home as well as second hand op shop and vintage finds. The beds are dressed with a selection of beautiful bed linen and towels are also provided. The second bathroom is located across the courtyard and not within the house itself. Guests will have access to the entire homestead and the surrounding property. Occasionally on a bush walk you may encounter some cows. The feeling of privacy is what makes a stay at The Dell Dardanup so special. However, there is a caretaker on the property should you need some assistance. The Dell is conveniently placed for short day trips to surrounding area’s such as the premium wine growing region of the Ferguson Valley, Donnybrook orchards, historic Bridgetown, tranquil Honeymoon Pool and a slightly further afield Dunsborough & Margaret River. There is no public transport around The Dell and a car is required for access. Even though the track from the road to the homestead is not sealed, small cars are able to access the property with ease. The Dell has modern appliances that operate at capacities which at times may fluctuate. Due to the remote nature of the dwelling we require that you have prior knowledge of possible standards of inconvenience. The second bathroom is located across the courtyard and contains a shower, bathtub and laundry. The toilet is separate, a traditional Australian 'outback dunny'.
