Very relaxing environment surrounded by trees and nature.
Great short stay at Forest rise.
Property surrounded by Kangaroos, looks like heaven. The 2 bedroom chalet was clean well furnished we enjoyed our stay.
Loved the place, quite and peaceful
The chalet had everything you need for a home from home stay.
Liked the eco products
Luxurious stay at a great price
Wildlife visited daily
A beautiful property with 9 private cottages and resident kangaroos. The cottages are spaced strategically so you often feel you are the only ones there. Cottages are well stocked and neatly kept. Bicycles for use, jacuzzi tubs in room, barbecue on patio and a well outfitted kitchen. Everything you need for a restful getaway—yet only minutes to wineries and 20-30 minutes to beautiful beaches.
The location is amazing and if you want privacy and to feel like you are in the middle of the bush, surrounded by kangaroos and amazing birdlife… but just minutes away from shops, beach, Margaret River and all that entails then please do yourself a favour and go to Forest Rise.
The accommodation is spacious and relaxing and there are many thoughtful touches. Such as the bikes and helmets, fire prepared, torches, fully stocked kitchen. It's very private and has an outdoor shower as well. Bed is comfortable and large. The property has plenty of windows to see the wildlife. Its quiet and peaceful and not too far out from many wineries and chocolate shops.

Amazing stay! Clean, chill vibes with welcome music!
We really enjoyed our stay in the Splendid Wren chalet at Forest Rise. Although the bathroom is shared, it is well-appointed and quite comfortable. The bonus is how peaceful and immersed in nature we felt. The location is also very convenient for lots of little towns and wineries. We had a great time.
Wonderful relaxing peacful place totally stress free loved the outdoor shower and the spa bath

Blissful forest retreat
A blissful retreat in the forest. The team at Forest Rise have paid extraordinary attention to detail in creating these lovely chalets placed in secluded spots around the property. From the moment you enter you feel that you are being cherished. The sounds of the forest, the sights of the forest, the smells of the forest – just beautiful. Additional touches like bicycles waiting for you, the outside rainfall (hot) shower, champagne bucket beside the spa bath – together with sumptuous linens and a really comfy bed. So many native birds and scores of kangaroos. We will be back.
House and surrounds were well above our expectations. Photos on the website did not do it justice. Completed surrounded by nature, rain teaming down sitting in front of the fire. If nature and privacy is what you want, this is the place. My partner and I thoroghly enjoyed it, we will return soon.

Relax in nature
Lovely, peaceful chalet surrounded by nature but with all the creature comforts of a luxury villa. Self check in and out means you could possibly not see another soul for the length of your stay, though any assistance required is only a call away if need be. Full kitchen facilities, log fire, spa bath and outdoor shower are the highlights, along with the walking and bike trails around the property. You are in nature though, so do expect local wildlife at your doorstep, and this also can mean bugs in and around the chalet (though they weren't a big issue for us).
Closest shops are just under 15 minutes away in either Vasse or Cowaramup.
