Beautiful highly appointed chalets offering seclusion in a stunning rural setting with vineyard, lake and picturesque dam.
Ruse Estate chalets offer guests a truly spectacular, unique place to unwind. Situated amongst rolling vineyard-covered hills, your beautifully appointed chalet unlocks access to our vineyard, bushland, rolling parklands, lake, dam and creekline. Their favourite pastime is exploring the 80-acre property by foot, animal and plant spotting, or kayaking on their lake. Whether you sit on your own deck soaking up the atmosphere or enjoy a drink in the carriage overlooking the dam, jetty and amphitheatre, there's no shortage of scenic places to sit and take in the beautiful scenery, and the serenity. What are you waiting for?
Only a 3 hour drive south of Perth, Ruse Estate lies in the heart of the spectacular Margaret River wine country, referred to by locals as ‘Down South’. Positioned 10 minutes out of the Margaret River township, Ruse Estate is surrounded by rolling hills of vineyards, where you could easily imagine you are in the wine growing regions of Italy or France.

A stay with them provides the perfect base for exploring the region’s famous wineries, galleries and beaches. This region offers something for everyone. You can surf and swim at fabulous beaches, go caving, bushwalking, paddling, hike the ‘Cape to Cape, cycle along the regular biking trails or explore the mountain bike trails. There’s a new quad bike adventure tour that looks fabulous. Food, beer and wine lovers be warned- there is so much on offer down here that you are at risk of going home with tight trousers. We highly recommend that you book in early to any restaurants or wineries that you are interested in, as they do get booked out. 

Ruse Estate Retreat is located on a stunning 80 acre property that features it’s own vineyard. The property is simply idyllic and it’s the perfect place to stay when you want to get away for some quiet time. The property features everything from rolling parklands with a train carriage on a beautiful dam setting with a jetty, through to a beautiful ‘lake’ on the Chapman Brook. There is natural bushland, 16 acres of grapes and going for a stroll around the property is a favourite past time, and it will be yours as well when you stay with them.

They have 3 solar passive modern chalets that have been positioned to maximise the picturesque views of the property. The chalets are positioned well away from each other to ensure privacy is enjoyed by all guests. They are set up with fully functioning kitchens and have been furnished with an understated elegance that blends in beautifully with their surroundings. 

Ruse Estate is registered with Land for Wildlife (2154), a voluntary nature conservation State government and Parks and Wildlife Initiative.  The Estate is home to the likes of Quenda (bandicoot), Phascagales and Ringtail Possums and many other animals such as frogs, racehorse goannas and skinks. The Estate is also graced with visits from birds such as the beautiful colourful splendid wren, Carnaby, Baudin and Redtail cockatoos, eagles and other birds of prey, and the elusive Masked Owl. They are hoping that their property will be used in the future for controlled release of some of these endangered animals and birds.

We spent a wonderful couple of days at Ruse Estate, where Karen and Lawrie were the most welcoming and generous hosts. The beauty of the property is apparent from the moment you drive through the grand entrance gates, with vineyards and magnificent native bushland lining the long driveway leading to the accommodation. There are three luxury chalets on the estate, but thoughtful design and stunningly landscaped gardens ensure each feels completely private. Our chalet was beautifully appointed, with premium furnishings, incredibly comfortable beds and luxurious bathroom products. Extra touches such as freshly baked bread and a bottle of red wine (which we enjoyed while watching the sun set over the bush from the back patio) made our stay even more memorable. While Margaret River's renowned wineries, restaurants and spectacular beaches are all just a short drive away, I'd encourage future guests to set aside time to explore the estate itself. Wander the walking trails, admire the magnificent trees, visit the picturesque lake and lake house, meet the adorable baby Highland cows, and, if you're lucky, receive an enthusiastic doggy welcome from the super friendly ‘Miss Dolores’. Thank you, Karen and Lawrie, for creating such a special place. Looking forward to coming back one day. Mandy and Jack – May 2026

All I can say is wow. From the moment I first spoke with Karen to the time we left, the entire experience at Ruse Estate was nothing short of amazing. The photos truly don’t do this place justice —the chalets are absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle, while still being just a short drive to Margaret River. Karen and her husband are incredible hosts, making you feel so welcome and comfortable from start to finish. The little touches really make the stay special especially Karen’s amazing sourdough! And to top it all off, you get to spend time with the cutest animals, including two cheeky sheep and stunning Highland cows, which just adds to the whole experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location, quiet and calm but still only a 10 minute drive to Margaret River. The views from the patio area are breathtaking and there's so much to explore! Perfect for a couples getaway.

If you are looking for peace and quiet the Ruse is the place for you. Suitable for couples or families with older children who can be left unsupervised. There is an open dam in front of the 3 cottages, a small property to walk around, feed the "coos", sheep & alpaca's & chooks at 9.30am with owner Karen. There is a cute games room by the dam (old train carriage) with jigsaws and card games - which you can borrow during your stay. We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage - a couple with an adult son, it is self-catering but Karen & Lawrie had provided all those little things that make holidays that bit more enjoyable. There is a bottle of wine, a fresh loaf of sourdough break, some biscuits and a few staples in the pantry to use. Margaret River town is near by to pick up your shopping but you will need a car. The drive is quite quick 10 mins via Rosa brook, Rosa glen & the perimeter roads. Lots of vineyards, places to eat, forests, beaches, mini golf & caves. Please book ahead if you intend to eat, especially in school holidays.
