Forest Rise Chalets and Lodge

Superbly appointed rural retreat, chalets in natural bush, a serene dam area to relax beside, lots of kangaroos. We feel welcomed and appreciate the very comfortable and well appointed chalets. The managers are very responsive to any needs. It’s in a lovely part of the world in easy reach of wineries, beaches, townships and long walks.

Great communication pre arriving. Easy check in. Chalet was super private and quiet with a verandah that looked into the natural bush. Lots of beautiful wildlife. Great walk trails on the property. Beds really comfortable. Wifi/mobile coverage a bit hit and miss so couldn’t work from here. Great location to loads of wineries and breweries. We will be back!

If you are in the Maragret River region do yourself a favour and stay at Forrest Rise. The chalets are brilliant. Equipped with every facility you could need, in spacious, and very well-appointed private buildings. The local wildlife, especially the kangaroo population, is incredible. We will be going back next time we’re in Western Australia.

For us, two American tourists, spending a few days in the Margaret River region was special already. Staying in a chalet in Forest Rise added quite a bit more to the experience. We loved it! We found the remote location of Forest Rise unique. The trees and the grounds were inviting when we arrived in an autumn afternoon. Our chalet was indeed far from other ones – such quiet and privacy, surrounded by nature. The chalet itself was not rustic at all. We had all the modern comfort and conveniences that you could name. We ordered food hampers from local merchants and were able to have quick preparation for breakfasts and dinners in the well-appointed kitchen. After long days of exploring the many attractions in the area, sipping nice wines by the fireplace after dinner was a treat. The bedroom was warm and comfortable. So was the bathroom. The washer and dryer came in handy also. Walking or biking along the trails within the Forest Rise property was enjoyable. We were fascinated by the kangaroos when we saw them by the road leading to Forest Rise. It was a treat when we had a few of them hanging out on our driveway one morning. Nice to observe them in their natural habitat. All in all, it was a special and refreshing time staying the 3 nights here. We missed it as soon as we travelled back to the cities. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful piece of paradise that I have been visiting for many years now. My go to place when visiting the region and will not stay anywhere else but forest rise.

Chilled and relaxed stay with everything you need for a winter getaway. Right in the middle between Margaret River and Dunsborough and all the wineries and craft breweries which we frequented during our stay. Plenty of wood to keep the fire going for our 4-night stay. Thanks Team at Forest Rise.
