Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary

We love coming back to Yelverton brook. Very nice place for families, the kids had fun riding around on their bikes and feeding wild Australian animals. Spa at night is awesome with bright stars and watching nocturnal animals coming out :) We find the place a bit too pricey though, with a 3 night minimum stay. The buildings are very clean inside but also everything is very old and in need of modernising a little. Also take your own firewood for the wood burn although there is a split system that heats the place well.

A very relaxed space with excellent privacy and a very good spa'. The design of the single bedroom cottages is excellent, and the standard of the fit=out well above average for holiday accommodation. The location is good in that it is not too far from Perth, but well within reach of the Margaret River attractions.

Everything was just as we hoped. My husband and I stayed 3 nights in the 2 bedroom lodge. It was spacious, bed was comfy, kitchen was well equipped, plenty of hot water, tv channels. Spices, cooking oil, coffee, tea, butter were provided. The kangaroos, up to five of them (one with a Joey in her pouch), came every day an hour or two before sunset. I had purchased carrots, apples and bananas which I gave to the kangaroos. I cut it up and put it on the earthenware plate on the lawn and they helped themselves. For photos I offered a carrot piece which one of them took out of my hand. They are gentle creatures. The possums come out when it’s dark, so after sunset. They like the bananas. I put banana pieces in the hanging bird feeder with the skin removed. There is a cute skink that comes around in the morning. He likes grapes. I open them in half so he can smell them and leave them on the patio tiles. A couple of green parrots came by so I rushed to put out more bird seed and made sure the bird bath was topped off with clean fresh water. My husband and I walked the trails and enjoyed the variety of trees and bushes. We really enjoyed our time there. We would like to return.

Best wildlife experience ever!! Very friendly kangaroos. They really like bananas. Possums (they love bananas and strawberries) and bandicoots at night. Beautiful birds during the day. Lovely cabin in a tranquil setting. Wish I could stay forever!

Yelverton Brook sanctuary was a perfect relaxing getaway. Joy and Simon were great and made us feel so welcome. The accommodation was immaculate, cosy and extremely well equipped. We loved the outdoor spa esp at sunset. I particularly loved the effort taken to ensure that we could continue recycling and saving good food scraps for the chickens. In fact we had a super clean weekend and left the place with hardly any rubbish in the bins. Well done Joy and Simon!

Thank you Joy and Simon for a perfect wkend the 1st we have had in 25yrs The animals had us laughing as I took the kangaroos for a walk around (they followed) , we had q possum that wouldn't leave me alone until I patted it and then it was happy 😂

This was our 4th time to Yelverton Brook, the cottage is wonderful and the spa is heaven, but the best bit is feeding the wildlife. Amazing close encounters with Kangaroos, possums, woylies and bandicoots. We will be coming back again!

Great location to visit the South West. Accommodation was very comfortable, extremely well equipped and spotless.Nestled amongst the trees it felt like we were the only people there. Visits from the Roos, Possums, Bandicoots and birds was the highlight. Look forward to returning.

Best stay at Yelverton, chalet was perfect, had everything we needed and beautifully baked fresh organic bread waiting on our arrival. Chalet was gorgeous and very clean. It was fantastic to get away from the city and get back to nature, so tranquil. We could sit in the spa under the stars, breathe in all the fresh country air and just relax. We had all the local visitors come to our door to be fed, kangaroos, possums, both ringtail & bush tail, woylies, bandicoot, variety if birds. We were able to go for a nature walk each day as the property had several trails throughout it. This was our first visit but will definitely not be our last, we loved it. It was like heaven on earth for us. Robert & Kayleen
