Description
Celebrate connection and make memories in this lovingly restored worker’s cottage. Ideal for a family getaway or a weekend with friends, it’s the perfect combination of stylish elegance and a relaxed bohemian feel.
The fully equipped kitchen is the heart of the house—and the perfect place to plan your activities for the day. An open design connects the spacious living and dining rooms to the enclosed courtyard and garden.
Three spacious queen bedrooms and the four-bed bunk room are thoughtfully outfitted with premium linens and mattresses. The neutral colour scheme and tasteful, bohemian style sets the scene for a tranquil, relaxed break.
Built in the early 1900s, the cottage has been part of our family since 2003. The extension and restoration highlights the beauty of its heritage elements: polished Jarrah floorboards, stunning timber-lined walls, original fireplaces and views of Mamang-Koort (Princess Royal Harbour) and Kardarup (Mount Melville).
Kardarup has been a traditional meeting site for Noongar people for generations. We invite you to gather and connect with your nearest and dearest with that in mind.
