Escape to Dale Cottage – Pool, Firepit & Peaceful Country Retreat
Leave the rush behind and discover Dale Cottage – a peaceful country escape set on 2.5 fully fenced acres, just 45 minutes from Perth. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family holiday, attending a local wedding, travelling for work or simply craving a few days to switch off, Dale Cottage offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and relaxed country living.
Our hope is that this isn't simply somewhere you stay, but somewhere you return to.
From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the pace slow. Spend your days by the private swimming pool, explore the peaceful surroundings or simply curl up with a book. As evening arrives, gather around the firepit beneath the stars, share a glass of wine or toast marshmallows.
The spacious open-plan living area has soaring ceilings with exposed timber beams, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere while still feeling light and airy. Comfortable lounges, a large Smart TV, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating in every room ensure a relaxing stay in every season.
The fully equipped country kitchen has everything you need whether you're preparing a family meal or enjoying a quiet breakfast before exploring the area. Guests can enjoy a Nespresso coffee machine, fresh ground coffee, a selection of teas, quality appliances and all the cookware, crockery and utensils needed for a comfortable stay. If cooking isn't on the agenda, you're well catered for with excellent local takeaway options delivering to the property, including Chinese, Indian, fish and chips, pizza, burgers and more.
The master bedroom has high ceilings, warm timber furniture, King bed and sliding glass doors opening directly outside. Wake to birdsong and step straight into the fresh country air with your morning coffee.
Bedroom two can easily change from a relaxing adult retreat into a welcoming children's room. It features a comfortable queen bed, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating, and discreetly stores a toy box and colouring books which can be brought out whenever younger guests are staying.
The spacious bathroom features a large double walk-in shower, modern vanity and quality towels, while the separate laundry includes a washing machine and everything needed for longer stays.
Outdoor Living
The private swimming pool has been designed for both relaxation and fun. Measuring 8.5 x 3.8 metres, it features a generous 1.5-metre beach shelf, perfect for lounging in the water with a book, supervising young children or simply cooling off with your feet in the pool.
Beyond the beach shelf is a 6.5metre swimming area, giving plenty of space for a proper swim or family games in the water.
The outdoor area also includes a one-hole putting green, with putters and golf balls provided, along with Finska and boules for relaxed afternoons outdoors. Whether you're feeling competitive or simply enjoying time together, there's something for every age.
As the sun goes down, gather around the firepit beneath the stars with a drink in hand and enjoy the peaceful country atmosphere that makes Dale Cottage so special.
Entertainment
Rainy day? Relaxing evening? There's no shortage of entertainment without ever leaving the property.
Inside you'll find a large Smart TV with voice command, making it easy to access your favourite streaming services and entertainment.
For those who enjoy traditional family fun, we've also provided an extensive collection of board games and activities, including Poker, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Dominoes, playing cards and many more. Whether it's a family tournament around the dining table or a quiet evening with friends, you'll have plenty of ways to unwind together.
At Dale Cottage, you don't need to head out to have a wonderful holiday. Many guests spend entire weekends enjoying the pool, firepit, outdoor games, board games and peaceful surrounding.
The fully enclosed garden allows children and dogs to play safely, while most of the surrounding 2.5 acres are also securely fenced. At the rear of the property, a gate provides direct access to peaceful Carup Brook, perfect for a gentle stroll with your dog or simply enjoying nature.
Despite its peaceful setting, Dale Cottage is conveniently located close to everything you may need. Byford is only minutes away, offering supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and essential shopping. Kwinana Train Station provides an easy option for travelling into Perth, while local favourites including Millbrook Winery, King's Road Brewing Company, Serpentine National Park, Serpentine Falls and many other attractions are all within easy driving distance.
We also welcome well-behaved dogs by prior arrangement, because we know they're part of the family too.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, reconnecting with loved ones, exploring Perth's southern suburbs or simply escaping the city for a while, Dale Cottage offers the space to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy life's simple pleasures.
Come for the pool. Stay for the firepit. Return for the peace.
