Located in the heart of the picturesque Margaret River wine appellation, Bussells Bushland Cottages is a gazetted “Land for Wildlife” and “Wildlife Land Trust” sanctuary. The rustic charm of these 8 well-appointed (self-contained) rammed-earth cottages is complemented by the natural (20 hectare) bush block, well treed with jarrah, marri, banksia and peppermint trees; and home to prolific birdlife, possums, brush-tailed phascogales (wambengers), bandicoots and kangaroos.
Bussells Bushland Cottages is a 20 hectare (50 acre) "Land for Wildlife" property, located 5kms north-west of Margaret River township. 
8 rammed-earth cottages set apart in order to preserve privacy and are self-contained with full kitchen, dining and living facilities, an outdoor BBQ, wood-fired potbelly stove in the living room and ceiling fans in all bedrooms (except those with double bunks). Each cottage shares 1 bathroom. 
Walk trails criss-cross the bush block which has wonderful stands of old-growth jarrah, marri, banksia and peppermint trees, as well as being home to a wide variety of bird life and mobs of kangaroos. A simple 'starter' breakfast is provided for the first morning, otherwise this is a self-catering property.  Wi-Fi is available free-of-charge. Although limited, it should be adequate for e-mails and streaming.

We stayed for 3 nights in Cottage 1 and had such a wonderful experience. The cottage was spotless, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bedding was warm and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well equipped, with thoughtful breakfast supplies provided for our first morning. The bush tracks around the property were a highlight. We loved exploring them and seeing the kangaroos in their natural habitat. The grounds are beautifully maintained and kept very clean, creating a lovely atmosphere throughout the property. The location is excellent too.. close enough to town for convenience, while still feeling like a peaceful bush retreat. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Bussels Bushland Cottages to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. 🏠🌳🦘

Amazing place with fabulous staff. So peaceful - feels like you are miles from anywhere but you are only 5 mins from Margaret River. The walk trails around the site are lovely with abundant flora and fauna to enjoy. Cottages are so well stocked with everything you need for a self-contained trip! Can't recommend highly enough!

We loved our stay. The place is beautiful, very peaceful, and surrounded by nature—perfect for getting away from it all. The cabin was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. You can tell they put care into every detail. The hosts were very kind and attentive from the start, making us feel very welcome. We slept wonderfully and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, surrounded by nature and kangaroos. We would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and cozy place.
