La Foret, meaning “the forest”, is a private 9-acre estate located on the banks of the Margaret River. Nestled within a tranquil river valley, the property features a seasonal winter creek winding through a backdrop of native peppermint and marri trees, beautifully complemented by a classical European-inspired garden.

Originally home to a humble fisherman’s holiday shack, La Foret now offers two uniquely designed cottages, along with a stunning setting for intimate and exclusive outdoor events.

Located just a short 10-minute drive from both the coastline and Margaret River township, the two luxury cabins -The Lodge and The Hide - have been thoughtfully designed with couples in mind. Private and immersed in nature, with bush views from every window, the cabins blend spacious luxury with romantic, rustic simplicity.

The Hide

With its gothic-inspired design, The Hide is set across two storeys overlooking a tranquil valley and seasonal winter creek. Featuring arched windows, vaulted cathedral ceilings and statement chandeliers, it brings a sense of fairytale charm to the forest setting.

Inside, the cottage is entirely open plan, with living, kitchen and dining areas on the ground floor, and a galleried bedroom and bathroom upstairs overlooking the space below. A striking six-metre glass wall draws in the surrounding landscape, filling the interior with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the forest and local wildlife. While ideal for couples, The Hide can also accommodate small groups of up to four guests who are comfortable sharing the open-plan layout.

Thoughtfully equipped for comfort, the cottage includes a full kitchen, fireplace, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, BBQ, and luxury touches such as bathrobes and slippers, though notably, there is no television, encouraging guests to fully disconnect and immerse themselves in nature.

The Lodge

Generous in scale yet warm and inviting, The Lodge blends rustic charm with refined comfort. Accessed via antique wrought iron gates and a winding driveway through bushland and European-inspired gardens, this standalone single-storey timber home is privately positioned and framed by wraparound verandahs, perfect for taking in the surrounding forest views.

Inside, the home opens into a spacious living area defined by vaulted ceilings, statement chandeliers, antique accents, and a central fireplace, creating a cosy yet elegant atmosphere. A full kitchen finished in rich marri timber and marble flooring connects seamlessly to an outdoor entertaining area with BBQ facilities, while a separate dining room showcases rustic textures and unique decorative features, offering an inviting space for shared meals.

The accommodation flows through to a luxurious bathroom with marble finishes, as well as access to a striking outdoor stone bath set among the trees—perfect for unwinding in nature. The private bedroom is a true highlight, featuring an impressive octagonal design, a king-sized bed, and its own elevated verandah. With multiple doors opening to the outdoors and a turreted ceiling rising above, the space evokes a sense of charm and understated grandeur.

Designed as a private sanctuary, The Lodge is ideal for couples seeking a romantic and restorative escape

Can’t recommend this place enough. The grounds were stunning and the cabin was beautiful, rustic wood vibes with natural stone everywhere. Had best cozy trip away. It’s nice booking a place and having everything there, they had everything you could ever need ! Just bring your food and clothes and relax 😮‍💨

My daughter living in Perth City and a couple visiting from Korea—a total of three of us—stayed here for two nights during our trip to Margaret River. We truly felt healed in this beautiful wooden cottage nestled in the woods. The bread, fruit, and jam for breakfast, prepared with the owners' loving care and dedication, were delicious. The bedding and towels were very clean. Everything was perfect, including dishes and seasonings, allowing us to cook our own meals. Additionally, the Margaret River Public Golf Course is located just three minutes away, we played 18 holes each day for two days.

I don’t think there are words to express how absolutely breath taking this place is. From the moment you drive into the grounds it feels like you have been transported somewhere magical. My now husband and I had a private elopement here nestled amongst all the beautiful nature. There are so many stunning features from the statues hidden amongst the gardens to the outdoor bath with a perfect view! Amanda the host was also incredible from start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure our stay and wedding day was everything we dreamed of. Thank you so much! We cannot wait to return for anniversaries 🥰❤️

We stayed at La Foret the night before and night of our wedding and it was truly magical. My mother in law booked The Hide and we booked The Lodge and both are some of the most unique accomodation all of us have ever stayed in. We all walked in with our mouths on the floor, way larger spaces that we anticipated, beautiful details every where you turn. Comfortable beds, wonderful temperature and gorgeous gowns and slippers to glide around in. Amanda truly went above and beyond- she sent out detailed maps for our vendors so the parking situation worked so well. Lucky for us we live local so will definitely be staying on our anniversary- and we’ve told all our friends and family they MUST stay when they’re next in Margaret River.
