The Roo House: Sprawling Bushland Retreat near Town

Set across 6.14 acres of pristine native gardens and bushland, The Roo House is a striking fusion of South West charm and modern architectural elegance, just a five-minute drive from the town-centre. In the right wing, the heart of the home unfolds into a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. This beautifully designed space is filled with natural light, thanks to soaring ceilings, skylights, and expansive windows that frame peaceful views of the surrounding bushland. Sliding and bi-fold doors connect the indoors seamlessly to the alfresco deck, creating a calm and airy atmosphere throughout.

The living area features generous, plush seating perfect for gathering with the group, while the adjacent dining space comfortably hosts long, leisurely meals. A slow-combustion fireplace by the dining table and a second in the lounge add warmth and ambience during cooler months. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with stone benchtops, a 5-burner stainless steel cooktop, large fridge, and a Miele dishwasher, all centred around a spacious island bench perfect for family-style prep, entertaining, or morning coffee rituals.

The king-sized primary bedroom sits off this main area offering private verandah access, a walk-in robe, and a stylish ensuite with dual vanities and heated towel rails. Two additional bedrooms in this wing—one with a queen bed and the other with a double—share a main bathroom. A secondary lounge with a TV provides a cosy space for movie nights or quiet downtime.

In the left wing, two queen bedrooms overlook the surrounding bushland and open directly onto the verandah. One of these bedrooms features its own ensuite and a large balcony, while the other is served by a nearby family bathroom with a bathtub.

Outdoors, a wide wraparound verandah gives way to a north-facing alfresco haven nestled among the trees. This 36 sqm deck is complete with café blinds, fairy lights, and a generous lounge and dining setting—ideal for long lunches, sunset wines, or starry evening BBQs. Children and pets have room to roam in the expansive gardens, and (availabe in the winter months) the fire pit offers a cosy spot to gather. Laundry facilities are available and parking is ample with a secure garage and driveway space.

Please note that there is no enclosed area, and pets must not be left unattended at any time in accordance with local council regulations. Firewood is supplied in winter; otherwise, it can be purchased at local service stations.

Stunning house and location

This property is perfect for a family trip. The house is very tidy with everything you may need during your stay. There are multiple living areas which is perfect if you are needing some time for yourself away from the group. This property has a stunning view of the trees and the ocean. Would recommend to friends and family. We would hire this property again.

Gorgeous home

This home is absolutely gorgeous. So close from the town but yet feels so isolated and all the nature to yourself with visit from local birds and wildlife. Loved it. This place has everything you need for a getaway. Thanks for everything.
