Your Off Grid Summer Escape
Luxury Summer Stay in Western Australia
Escape off-grid this Christmas. Nestled among open paddocks and towering Karri trees on WA's rugged South Coast, our luxury timber cabin is a true rural retreat for two or family groups.
Organic cotton, linen and Australian-made materials calm the mind while luxe textures indulge the senses - bringing the outside in without sacrificing comfort.
Wander the Karri forest, explore the South Coast, or simply appreciate the beauty of the season from your own private sanctuary. A distinctive farm stay experience that inspires creativity, connection and a slower kind of Christmas holiday.
A Quiet Christmas Escape in the South West
There's a particular quality of silence here - not empty, but full. Wind through the Karri tops, birds calling from the paddock edge, the low hum of a fire settling into the room. It's the kind of quiet that lets your thoughts slow down and actually land. A genuinely unique Australian Christmas stay, far removed from the noise of the city.
Days don't need structure. Mornings stretch without alarm clocks. Afternoons dissolve into reading, sketching, or simply watching the light move across the grass outside - a slow, romantic December holiday for two, or a family-friendly Christmas stay where kids burn off energy in the paddocks and everyone ends up softer by evening.
Evenings arrive gently. Something warm to drink, the fire crackling low, the sky turning from gold to deep indigo above the tree line. Whether you're planning a luxury Christmas retreat for couples or a summer holiday home base near Albany and Denmark, this is the kind of place that asks very little of you - no notifications, no itineraries, just the rhythm of breathing in and out with the landscape around you.
Your basecamp in the heart of the South West.
Set among the Karri forests and open paddocks above Denmark, Upland Farm puts the region's best within easy reach - Busselton Jetty and Cape Leeuwin to the south-west, Albany's harbour and beaches to the east, and the ancient Karri forests of Nannup and Walpole-Nornalupa National Parks just minutes from your door.
Drive the South Coast road trip through Denmark, William Bay and Ocean Beach, explore Porongurup's alpine peaks, or simply settle into a slow day among the trees before returning to the warmth of your cabin. Everything worth seeing in the south west is a short drive away - and everything you need for a restful stay is already here.

Food & Wine
The region is defined by small-batch producers and farm tables where the season decides the menu. Cellar doors in Denmark and beyond pour cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while local butchers, bakers and cheesemakers keep a genuine farm-to-table tradition alive. Ask us for recommendations - we know who's cooking well this week.

Coast & Beaches
From Denmark's sheltered coves to the wild headlands of Cape Leeuwin where two oceans collide, the South West coastline rewards those who take their time. Swim at William Bay, walk the jetty at Busselton, or simply watch the light change over Ocean Beach before heading back for a slow evening by the fire.

Karri Forests
Walk beneath some of the oldest and tallest trees on Earth. Nannup National Park's ancient Karri forest sits minutes from your cabin - its cathedral canopy filtering light into a green-gold hush that makes time feel optional. Guided walks, self-guided trails and quiet forest edges all start within easy reach.

Wildlife Encounters
The understorey belongs to lyrebirds and pademelons; quolls slip through the paddocks at dusk. Along the coast, seals haul out on rocky shores, dolphins track the swell, and migrating whales pass within sight from January through September. You don't need a bushwalk - much of it comes to you if you're quiet enough.
