Summary: We were lucky enough to have an extended stay at Umatah and would have stayed longer if we could. The location, views, design and cleanliness of the chalet, the little touches and the warm hospitality of Jade and Heath combined to make this a perfect stay for us. We were close enough to Perth, the sights and the beaches but happy and able to unwind and relax back at the chalet with evenings spent on the balcony particularly special. An absolute gem!

Summary: What a gift this home was. Using it as a base for a 5 day yoga course each day coming, back to this carefully curated home was just so nourishing. So many thoughtful details to make it welcoming and warm. Beautiful to nestle in and watch the rain, perfect for sunny days to play on the lawn in the sunshine.

Summary: Our stay at Umatah Retreat was perfect. Our host was so lovely, and had thought of absolutely everything we could possibly need for our stay - plus more! There were so many little thoughtful touches that made us feel special, comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. The views and surrounds of the retreat are absolutely gorgeous, with views out to the city from the deck and living room window. Located close to Byford town centre, we had easy access to the shopping centres and restaurants. Thank you Jade, we had a lovely time and will be back again!

Summary: This was my second stay at Umatah, and it was every bit as fabulous as the first. The restorative effect of sitting on the deck taking in the view, listening to the birds sing and watching as the light changes as the hours pass cannot be overstated. We just loved it. The chalet has everything one could possibly need. It’s very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the location is fantastic. We’ll be back again, no doubt about that! Thanks for everything, Jade, you are a wonderful host and person ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summary: Our family loved our stay at Umatah retreat. The house itself is beautifully designed with lots of thoughtful touches to make the stay more enjoyable. The house and surrounds had plenty to keep our small kids occupied, and they’re already asking when we can go back and have another holiday. We easily could have stretched our stay out longer. The position of the house gives spectacular views through to the city and we loved waking up to coffee and winding down over a wine looking out at the trees. We highly recommend Umatah to anyone considering it.

Summary: We feel like our cups have been refilled after a few days at Umatah! The photos don’t do it justice - it’s such a beautiful house in serene bush surroundings. All the quality finishes and decorative touches give such a sense of luxury, and the personal touches are simply wonderful. Fresh eggs, milk, juice and butter in the fridge, with coffee, tea, marshmallows, popcorn and more in the cupboard. And the books, games and beautiful view will keep you entertained for hours. Jade and Heath have thought of everything! Have already booked to return. Thanks so much to the fabulous hosts 😊
