The property is located out of town ( but only a short drive). It is peaceful and close to some lovely walking trails including the Dam walk. Only issue with this property is the lack of WiFi/internet to the cottages. Meant we could disconnect but the lack of phone and internet was a tad annoying at times.

Nice and quiet surroundings, central to lots of places & things to do. Only down side was lack of WIFI at the actual cottage - even tho could HOT SPOT at the house just couldn't be bothered walking up there when wanting to post / send photos etc. (Not necessarily Hosts fault)

Quiet location Great cottage..
Our hosts never interrupted us but were always available to help with anything at all.The kitchen and fridge were stocked with the essentials and even replenished to us save going to town for milk! How thoughtful. There were plenty of walks and places to eat within a short drive. A great place to escape to from the city.

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting.
We were pleasantly surprised by the location of the cottage. It was everything and more than we could have imagined. The facilities and attention to detail in the cottage was nothing short of first class. Our host Paul went "above and beyond" to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Sitting in the private BBQ area was amazing as we watched all types of birds visit the cottage gardens. We will definitely choose to stay at Big Brook Cottages when we are next in the South West.

Peaceful and relaxing
Went down for the truffle kerfuffle weekend and it was great to have a wood fire each night at oand a soak in the spa after each day. The coffee machine was well enjoyed and waking up to chirping little birds was nice. Management was super friendly inviting us over to watch the footy and have a few bevys, unfortunately being a romantic getaway, it wasn't possible for me to slip away from the cottage. Definitely was a great place to stay.

Beautiful and spotlessly clean in a great setting
Wonderful accommodation in a totally tranquil and peaceful setting. The cottage was really clean and had lots of little extras making it feel like a home. Easy access to Pemberton, vineyards and a walking/ bike trail to the Dam. We have visited Margaret River, Denmark, Pemberton area on a number of occasions previously and Big Brook Cottages was certainly one of the best places we have stayed. Will definitely be back.

PERFECT! 10 out of 10!
Big brook cottages are simply the best. The cottages themselves are immaculately presented, with fantastic attention to detail (everything you can think of is provided) the fireplace and spa makes the atmosphere very relaxing and intimate. Including fresh flowers in the room (picked from the garden), robe and slipper, fresh milk, nespresso machine (with plenty of pods), even a chocolate on your pillow! The gardens surrounding each cottage are beautiful, and have been specifically designed to provide real privacy. The bird life they attract is engaging and wonderfully relaxing. There is a great cottage garden that is freely accessible to guests. To top it off there is a huge, pristine karri forest literally across the road.. incredible!!! We stayed for our honeymoon and could not be happier or more satisfied with our experience and the value for money is outsanding. As for the service provided by Paul and Corrina, there are simply not enough stars to give them an accurate rating. They attended to our every need and request with the kindness and thoughtfulness that you would expect from a family member or close friend - ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We cannot recommend Big Brook Cottages highly enough and we would not dream of staying anywhere else on our next trip to Pemberton

Delightfull!!!!
This wonderfull Homestead is a must when you head down South of Perth. The owners are so welcoming and the cottage is so very private with all your needs thought of. Sit in serenity and watch the Bright Blue Fairy Wrens herd up their ladies under the Wisteria. Even saw the little Mardo which come out at night much to our delight.

Perfection!
A beautiful setting Spotlessly clean Everything had been thought of a lot of care taken even a bottle of wine for us when we arrived! Paul showed us all the interesting places to visit during our stay. Would recommend Brook Cottages to all our Australian friends as one of the best places we have ever stayed at and if we return from UK again would stay there again.

The chalet was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The wood fire was wonderful with a well stocked wood supply. The grounds were well maintained with many flowering and fruiting trees and an abundance of bird life. All in all a very restful and enjoyable stay.
