Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary

We had a wonderful stay with Yelverton Brook. We met and feed the kangaroos, possums and birds. My son and my parents were so happy to meet these little creatures. The property is clean and got everything we needed. We just need to bring our belongings, sit and relax.

I really don’t want to write this, because if I do, more people will visit this piece of Paradise. We have been visiting Yelverton since about 2005 and it is always perfect. It’s about 20 minutes south of Busselton on the Busselton - Margaret River road, so it’s close to all the tourist type attractions that both places have to offer, BUT and it’s a huge BUT, it is located in a big patch of bush (I think it’s about 100 acres). In that area, there are five chalets. Nothing else, just the 5 chalets. They are far apart and surrounded by bush, so if you are in one of them, it’s almost impossible to see another. It’s quiet. So quiet. So peaceful. The chalets are extremely well fitted out with all modern appliances. On a cold night, you have a wood fire or reverse cycle air con. On a hot day you have the really cool a/c. On ANY day or night, you have your own private spa to soak in and sip champagne with your loved one. So if you want a holiday that combines the sun, surf, wine, cheese, chocolate, restaurants, forestry and all the other magic that is the Busselton / Margaret River region, as well as a whole heap of the peace and quiet of nature at its purest, you cannot beat Yelverton Brook. Yelverton is quite simply the best there is. Note that you will need to bring a big bunch of carrots, apples and bananas with you. Every morning and evening the local mob of kangaroos will visit and expect to be fed. You hand feed them, even the joeys. Once the Roos have been fed, put some birdseed in the bird feeder and watch all the different birds dive in. Loads of them. So many varieties. If you have a barbecue in the evening, you will have bandicoots, possums and woileys running around your feet. Yelverton is fenced by a really extensive ‘Predator Fence’ to keep all non-native animals like cats and dogs and rabbits and foxes, so native species thrive. There are walking trails throughout the bush as well, so you can gently walk off a hangover, or just take a stroll with no urgency. Another really big thing for me is that the curtains are full and heavy. This means that when they are drawn at night, your room is dark and it stays that way until you wake up and open them. There are no chinks of light creeping through to wake you. If you have children with you, they will need to remember that the Roos are semi wild still and need to be respected. They will let you stroke them, but you will need to be careful. Apart from that, I think children will enjoy the time they are spending with Mum & Dad who are free from any other distractions. You can have real quality time just being a family. Yes there is HD TV if you want it. There is a good phone signal. I don’t know if they have their own internet because we always bring our own internet dongle. If you need to, you can always hotspot off your phone. Seriously folks, this place is awesome. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I am an international airline pilot who has seen an awful lot of the world. Yelverton B

Yelverton Brook is such a wonderful place. Beyond our expectations. We loved it all. The kangaroo welcome party, the possums at night and the beauty of the walking trails. A haven of tranquillity and peace. Our chalet was so comfortable with great quality linen and everything you needed for self catering in comfort. Go there…. You will not be disappointed 🦘🥰
