Located on a 15-hectare farm with vineyard, winery, avocado orchard and vegetable gardens, Burnside Organic Farm offers fully self-contained bungalows. The bungalows have large baths, wood fires (only in winter) and large verandahs for relaxing.
Cool in summer and cosy in winter. The bungalows are solar passive and set apart in remnant bush providing peace and privacy for all guests. Children are welcome in the two bedroom bungalows and can play in the bungalow garden or explore the bush.
Guests, who book a stay, have access to exclusive self-guided experiences. On arrival you will be given a map to follow the 1.7km of walk trails. See the whole farm including the market garden, caper bushes, avocados trees and how animals are integrated into these systems. A genuine working farm and winery.
ORGANIC WINE
Burnside Organic Farm is also home to a small family winery. Jamie & Lara planted the grapes in 2001 and they handpick and make the wine onsite. Certified Biodynamic Demeter. Your guarantee the wine is organic from paddock to bottle.
Jamie & Lara chose the variety Zinfandel because of its luscious berry fruit characters. Keeping with the Italian theme, they also planted a white grape variety called Vermentino. The wine is pale in colour, medium-bodied and the palate is full of sumptuous zesty lemon, stone fruit, pear and earthy minerality. It is an excellent food wine. Both the Zinfandel & Vermentino are dry grown. The vines have to search deep for water, encouraging strong, deep resilient roots.
The fruit is handpicked in early March. The Zinfandel is wild fermented in open vats. The Vermentino is pressed and wild fermented in barrel. Grapes are picked when the moon is waxing when sugar levels are at their best. The Zinfandel must is basket pressed and placed in a combination of new and old French oak barrels. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation in barrel and is aged for 12 months.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Burnside Organic Farm, hosted by the lovely Lara and Jamie. From the moment we arrived, the entire family was struck by the warmth and welcoming atmosphere on the farm. Having a fire started by Lara upon our arrival helped for sure.
The accommodations were comfortable and charming, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The children particularly enjoyed watching the cows graze outside the bungalow’s window and enjoying the swing.
The farm walk with Jamie was a real highlight not just for the kids - he was passionate and knowledgeable, bringing the history and workings of the farm to life.
Overall, our stay at Burnside was a delightful retreat from our daily routine coming from a concrete jungle. The perfect balance of rustic simplicity and personal connection. We all left feeling rejuvenated and inspired by the dedication to sustainable, ethical farming.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to reconnect with nature, the land and absolutely amazing hosts.

What a fantastic experience! Lara is a great host and went out of the way to make our stay comfortable. She even lit a fire for us to make sure we return to a comfortable home after dinner. She met us the next morning and shared lots of recommendations- we did everything she suggested and loved them. Location is great- very close to town. Peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend and will surely go back.

We stayed in Bungalow 1 of Burnside Organic Farm for 2 nights and really loved it. The cottage was lovely, with everything which we needed (linens, heaters, all kitchen equipment) all set up for us. The rooms were comfortable and we slept so well on both nights despite the rainy weather! On our first day, the fireplace was set up before our arrival and Lara took pains to teach us how to restart the fire and made sure we had sufficient wood to keep the fire going. The farm is a 10 min drive from Margaret River city centre and easily within reach to all amenities and sights. Lara and Jamie are lovely hosts - everything was well organised and we got our welcome email, instructions and information on sights way before we arrived. We even got a little private tour of the farm, and the kids got to take photos sitting on the tractors which made their day! :)

We had a great stay at the Burnside Eco Farm! The clean accommodation is fantastic with a great floor plan, awesome outdoor space, well-equipped kitchen and big bathroom with washing machine. We want to come back in the cooler season to use the wood stove in the spacious living room. The Farm has an ideal location and we loved our morning walk around the farm! We enjoyed our wine tasting and the friendly owners were very helping in answering all my questions! We hope to have the opportunity to visit again and will definitely tell our friends and family travelling to the area this is a perfect spot to stay!
