Discover Boranup In Western Australia

The Margaret River region of Western Australia is famous for its wines, but there’s much more to discover in the southwest, including Boranup. From the clear waters of Hamelin Bay during summer to winter walks through the crisp forest, there are many reasons to spend a weekend if not longer in this unspoilt destination.

With a beautiful forest of Karri and Jarrah trees, Boranup is a sanctuary for 28 different species of birds, including the endangered white-tailed Carnaby cockatoo. Closer to ground level, you will be lucky enough to spot big red kangaroos in the wild as well as emus and their chicks. But it’s not just forest that Boranup can boast of. Lying on the coast, the surf is some of the best in Western Australia and you can even stroke stingrays on Hamelin Bay. All of this nature really does make you want to get outdoors and explore.

To immerse yourself in all that Boranup and the surrounding southwest has to offer, you can enjoy a stay at Boranup Forest Retreat. Located within the breathtaking forest yet just minutes from the beaches, caves and wineries of Margaret River, this secluded retreat includes luxury spa chalets and the Boranup Lodge in a bushland setting to provide a real Australian experience. There’s even a spa and sauna if you’re looking for complete relaxation.

A highlight of Boranup Forest Retreat is Disc Golf. A new activity, this popular sport is taking Australia by storm, and all you need is a Frisbee and a target. A competitive game suited for kids big and small, it’s just another reason why Boranup is ideal for when the family come to visit. Enjoy a get-together in Boranup Lodge; with five bedrooms to sleep 18, three sitting rooms, balconies, en-suite bathrooms and use of the spa and sauna – there’s plenty of room for the whole clan at $450 for six guests and extras from $65 pppn.

From families to couples, Boranup Forest Retreat is also no stranger to a wedding party or romantic weekend. Two-bedroom chalets come with a corner spa, patio garden, wood-burning stove and champers for around $250 – $360 per night. It’s easy to see why so many people are drawn to Boranup.
