Southglen Estate - Glen Forrest, Western Australia

Southglen Estate is a special place in Western Australia, nestled between two ridges of the Darling Scarp. This valley experiences unique weather conditions during autumn, winter and spring. Cold nights, misty mornings, trees turning all colours of the rainbow, white water rushing through the Chittawarra Brook then slowing as it flows gently into Southglen Lake and finally into the Helena river. Bird calls echoing through the valley add to the serenity of this rural hideaway.

Southglen Cottage was one of the original buildings on the 45 hectare property and was renovated into a stylish bed and breakfast in 2011. It can accommodate a group of one, two or three couples and is just 30 km from Perth City centre.

The self-contained fully furnished and equipped cottage accommodates up to six people in superb comfort and privacy. Whilst retaining its 'Old World Charm', it has three separate bedrooms, two with queen size beds and one with a double bed. The kitchen has a full cooker, microwave oven and fridge, separate living and dining area with plasma TV and DVD. It also has panoramic views of Southglen Lake.

There is a wood fired potbelly heater in the lounge room for the cooler evenings, as well as split-level reverse cycle air conditioning. There is also evaporative air conditioning to all of the bedrooms. The outdoor deck (with gas BBQ) overlooks the valley and the lake. A gourmet country breakfast (optional) is supplied on a self-serve basis.

You may visit a number of local restaurants, or alternatively, you may wish to prepare your own meals in the fully equipped country kitchen. All linen and towels are provided.
