description: The perfect romantic and honeymoon retreat.
Superb holiday accommodation for two or more couples travelling together. The ideal family holiday cottage.
There is only one guest cottage at Olive Hill Farm. This classic Australian farmhouse, first built in 1922, has been beautifully restored with attention to retaining its original character.
Guests will enjoy acres of private, magic gardens and grounds around the cottage, alive with native birds and animals. Kangaroos, quendas, [brown bandicoots] and numerous species of exquisite birds are abundant.
Heritage varieties of grape and mulberry are ripe for the picking in season.
Breakfast or an evening sundowner or supper on the back verandah is a special experience.
The river front is a haven for many wetland species, and guests are welcome to picnic under the superb old growth trees, or in our riverside gazebo.
We are a Land for Wildlife property and have a passion for the flora and fauna of the Margaret River region, and Western Australia.
 
The holiday cottage and garden is set in our 15 acre olive grove, on 145 acres of farmland that is on the banks of the Margaret River.
We produce and sell extra-virgin olive oil from our grove, under the Olive Hill Farm label. No pesticides are used in our grove or on our farm, and no chemical fertilizers are used on our olives.
location: The Margaret River region is world renowned as a superb holiday and vacation destination, famous for its wineries, food and restaurants, spectacular beaches and surfing, rugged coasts and towering hardwood forests, ancient caves, moderate, comfortable, mediterranean climate and relaxed lifestyle.
Olive Hill Farm, is a very convenient and pretty 12 kms from Margaret River town, through the Bramley National Park, and into the picturesque vineyards, farmland and forest of the undulating Margaret River valley and Whicher Range foothills..
Close to us, west, north and south, are the wonderful beaches, limestone coast, and Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park.
Immediately on our east is the uniquely beautiful Rapids Conservation Park, Cane Break Pool, and the uniquely forested Whicher Ranges. This is an area of great biodiversity and rich flora.
On our south boundary is the Margaret River.
Margaret River is 300 km south-west of Perth, about a 3 hour drive, and is accessible by excellent roads, bus or plane. The two main highways to Margaret River, are The Coast Road [Highway 1],and the South Western Highway, or inland route. The Coast Rd [H'way1] is an easier and faster route, being virtually all double lane divided road, and connects to the major Perth freeway south, the Kwinana Freeway.You will pass the coastal towns of Mandurah [1 hour from Perth], Bunbury [two hours from Perth], and Busselton [two and a half hours from Perth], any of which offer many options for lunch or dinner breaks. You will need to take a detour to visit the towns, as the highway bypasses all the town
centres.
