Summary: Bushland Retreat is off the beaten track and is wonderful for total peace, quiet and relaxation. There are so many birds and it is a refreshing change to see so many stars at night The property is located not very far out of Portland.Some items in the property were a little outdated. The host was very helpful and her directions excellent.If you want to get away from it all and don't mind no internet, this is the place to be.

Summary: Wonderful experience relaxing with complete privacy in an eco environment. There was an inquisitive koala in the tree overhanging the deck and kangaroos at the steps. We were serenaded by the birds during the day and the koalas at night. 15 minutes to Portland and 8 mins to the beach at Cape Bridgewater. Loved it !

Summary: Beautiful location. The luxury of this accommodation is the large covered deck set amongst native trees and flowering shrubs. Wonderful bird and marsupial watching. Indoors is clean, very minimal fuss living that offers a peaceful base to explore Portland area or to read and walk.

Summary: This is our second time staying here and we just love it. Our dog can come and we thoroughly enjoy sitting on the verandah watching the birds, roos and wallabies do their thing. Koala in tree outside the house was the icing on the cake! Highly relaxing! Easy drive into Portland or to the beautiful beach at Cape Bridgewater. Highly recommended.

Summary: Wonderful place for nature-lovers. Koalas, a big mob of kangaroos and many different waterbirds were in residence during our stay. Cottage was very comfortable, despite the cold, and the large deck was well suited for living in nature. Host welcoming and very helpful. This place exceeded our expectations for a great nature-based holiday.
