Serenity House Pemberton was created from a desire to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share the beauty of Western Australia’s Southern Forests with others. After moving to Pemberton in 2021 for a complete tree-change, Jon and Cat began lovingly renovating what would become Serenity House Pemberton, opening the retreat to guests in 2022. Serenity Cottage followed in 2024, with the addition of the forest wellness spa in 2025. Inspired by years of travel, boutique stays, wellness retreats, and a growing need to escape the pressures of busy corporate careers, Serenity House was designed as a place where guests could truly rest, reset, and reconnect. Surrounded by towering karri forests and peaceful gardens, our accommodations blend cosy luxury with the slower rhythms of country life. Guests can choose between our private self-contained forest house, charming heritage cottage, or both properties together for larger gatherings. We also offer wellness experiences through our forest spa, including massages, beauty treatments, day spa experiences, and multi-day retreats designed to encourage relaxation and renewal. From misty forest mornings and crackling fires to birdsong, forest walks, and thoughtfully curated comforts, every stay is designed to feel peaceful, grounding, and memorable. We love helping guests discover the magic of Pemberton through local recommendations, wellness experiences, and the simple beauty of slowing down amongst the trees. We feel incredibly grateful to share this special corner of the Southern Forests with travellers seeking comfort, nature, and a little forest magic. Jon & Cat

Enviably tucked down an enchanting forest-clad path beside the Bibbulmun Track, Munda Biddi Trail and Pemberton Arboretum Trails, the cottage offers a rare blend of seclusion, nature, and convenience just a short walk from town.
