Welcome to The Perch — a unique slice of paradise that must surely be one of the most peaceful properties in Western Australia. Set on two acres among majestic native Marri and Jarrah trees, it offers sweeping views over pristine State forest as far as the eye can see. Each morning, wake to the sound of native birds and the sight of them flitting through the bush, with the Frankland River gently flowing past — visible from the balcony and just a two-minute walk from the house. Guests have full access to the house, balcony, and the surrounding property. You’re welcome to use the inflatable paddle boards and kayaks to explore the river. Inside, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, books, DVDs, and board games. Starlink internet and a smart TV with streaming services are also included. The home accommodates up to four adults and two children. The main bedroom features a queen size bed, the other features a king size bed that can be split into two single beds. There is a adult size fold out bed stored in the main bedroom (linen not supplied for the camping bed). The driveway is very steep, so a four-wheel drive is recommended. It's best to engage the front wheels of the car to navigate the driveway and protect your car, the gravel access road and the concrete driveway. Small trailers can access it, but caravans, camper trailers, and boat trailers are not permitted for safety reasons.

The Perch is looked after by a small team who make sure your stay goes smoothly. We handle bookings, answer questions, and are just a message or call away if you need any help. While we aren’t on-site, we’re happy to share local tips or assist with anything that comes up during your stay. Our aim is to make your time at The Perch relaxed, enjoyable, and hassle-free — so you can focus on exploring, unwinding, and soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

The Perch is located on Riverside Drive in the small hamlet of Nornalup, about 15 minutes from Walpole and 45 minutes from Denmark. From here, you can easily explore Great Southern wineries, stunning beaches like Peaceful Bay, and ancient forests, including the Valley of the Giants. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the Bibbulmun Track hiking trail and the Munda Biddi mountain bike trail, both nearby. You can paddle along the Frankland River or, if you have a boat, explore the Nornalup Inlet and Great Southern Ocean (weather permitting). For something close to home, stroll 5–10 minutes down Riverside Drive to The Frankland, a new microbrewery and pizzeria open seasonally on long weekends and during school holidays. Whether you’re hiking, paddling, or simply sitting on the balcony soaking in the tranquillity, The Perch offers the perfect base for exploring — or for doing absolutely nothing at all.
