Umatah to us, Umatah to yourself, Umatah to those around you and Umatah to the environment. Umatah is part of the original State Brick Works that was closed down in the 1940’s after their excavations hit an underground spring. The property runs on organic principles and has a mango orchard, apiary, vegetable wicking beds plus various other fruit and nut trees. There is a large waterhole, landscaped gardens and endless native bushland. The Space: Umatah Retreat Chalet was designed to nurture wellness and stimulate your senses to encourage relaxation. The chalet is disability friendly with wide doorways and ramped access**. It is surrounded by native bushland and overlooks the tranquil waters of the historic quarry, with city views as the backdrop. Umatah Retreat Chalet has an open plan living space with full kitchen, two bedrooms, large bathroom and outdoor alfresco area. The bedrooms consists of one master suite with king bed and a second bedroom which can be configured with either two long singles or one king bed. The outside area is fenced from the main property to keep our friendly dogs, ponies and alpacas off your deck. Guest Access: In addition to Umatah Retreat Chalet, guests will have access to the 'green', waterhole and surrounding bushland areas. Umatah Experiences: - Kayak on the quarry - Bird watching - Bush walking - Mountain Biking (BYO bike/gear) (bushwalking and mountain bike tracks are right behind our property) Love you, because you matter Other things to note: **Please note that the chalet is positioned up a steep driveway with parking available next to the chalet.

We came late in the evening directly from Germany and had no possibility to buy any food. Jade provided us with more than basic food to have a relaxed start.
The Chalet is wonderful and perfect equiped with high quality.The view from the terrace with Perth skyline is fantastic.
If Australia weren't so far away from Germany we would be permanent guests. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Loving the experience. The details are thoughtfully set up. Jade and Heath are really friendly hosts who will make your stay wonderful. My teens said that THE type of vacation that they enjoy. Relax and do nothing or do the free activities at the ground or explore the nearby towns.
Regretted not staying for a longer period. 😘 till the next time!!

This is one of those hidden gems that you find, and wish you knew about earlier. Being relatively close to Perth makes for easy access, yet the tranquillity of the property makes you feel as though you made the long drive down south. When you first arrive you are surrounded by native bush and orchards. The accommodation itself is better than the images on this site. The ceilings are really high and gives a feeling of being very spacious. Everything was well thought out and it was hard to not notice the fittings and fixtures that had a high-end luxurious feel. It was extremely clean and the host went above and beyond setting up our rooms and checked in with us that everything was okay when we arrived. Before arriving, the owner also checked if we would like a tepee set up for my 3-year-old daughter. When we arrived the tepee was set up in our room with age-appropriate toys and books. Needless to say, my daughter loved this as well as having her separate kid-sized dining table and chairs. Outside there were 2 different playgrounds, one was set up for younger children and another for older children, both were great and provided hours of play. Canoeing on the lake was nice and a great experience for my daughter. There are plenty of life jackets to choose from on the walk down, and several canoes and paddles that you can use at any time. We met some of the animals on the property, they were friendly yet also happy to let you be. I would highly recommend this stay.

Beautiful modern 2 bedroom, one huge bathroom, city and bush views. Close to walking trails. On a property with other homes but no noise, not too close. Decor of home is just beautiful and Jade has thought of absolutely everything you possibly need for a self-catering weekend away. Great fire, plus outdoor fire pit, lots of outside seating on the deck. Room for yoga or relaxing. Stunning views. Huge bath. Comfy beds. Fresh eggs, bread, milk, oj, tea, coffee provided. Games, TV (use own streaming). Only negative is no wifi but that might be good for us! Need a guide on arrival with house details for applicances, walk locations, shops etc. Very much enjoyed our break away here. Thanks

What a fabulous place to stay. Every detail was thought of from bread, eggs, milk, juice and biscuits, a polaroid camera to make memories and luxurious bathroom products. It was far enough away from the city to feel like a holiday but close enough so the travel wasn’t too long and arduous. The cottage was so beautifully renovated it felt like a 5 star retreat. It was so peaceful and quiet. I loved waking up to the sounds of nothing but birds and seeing the free range animals wander. The surrounding property was great to explore and my daughter loved the play area set amongst the bushland. It was a perfect get away for our family and I highly recommend it. We would come back in a flash.

A small house / large chalet built inside an old quarry. Views across a small dam to the city. Owner Jade could not have been more helpful. Good bread, butter and milk were an unexpected bonus. Totally equipped kitchen.
Good Australian bush well within walking distance top of the quarry walls. Wildflowers will be magnificent in season.
Will return for a longer stay next time.
