About this property
Summary:
Welcome to Trinder Retreat, where vineyard views meet barefoot luxury in the heart of Margaret River. Tucked beside the iconic Cape Mentelle estate, this peaceful haven invites you to slow down, soak in outdoor baths amongst nature, share long lunches under the alfresco canopy, and cosy up by the fire with a glass of local red. With a games room, lush gardens, and elegant indoor-outdoor living, it's your dream escape—just five minutes from town and moments from world-class wineries and beaches.
The Space:
Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined drive, Trinder Retreat is a serene haven designed for families and wellness seekers alike. Surrounded by native bushland, fruit trees, and sweeping vineyard views, this peaceful sanctuary offers room to breathe, reconnect, and truly unwind.
Step into the heart of the home—a bright and spacious open-plan living area with soaring timber ceilings, cosy sectional sofas, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows inviting in the natural light. Whether it’s board games by the fire in winter or breezy indoor-outdoor living in summer, this space brings people together. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with oven, stove, dishwasher and Nespresso machine, makes preparing wholesome meals a joy. Gather around the generous dining table to reconnect over slow breakfasts or family dinners.
Outside, the covered alfresco area is a soul-soothing retreat. Sink into a hot outdoor bath with birdsong overhead, sip herbal tea or a glass of local wine at the rustic bar, and enjoy long, laughter-filled meals under the stars at the handcrafted timber table or around the fire pit. For moments of fun and play, the converted garage doubles as a games room, with table tennis, a Smart TV, beanbags, and even a few bikes for exploring the area. An outdoor shower is nearby—perfect for washing off sandy feet after beach days.
The main house is perfectly suited for families, with a downstairs king room with an ensuite, a queen bedroom, and a playful bunk room that kids will love. The main bathroom features a deep bath and walk-in shower, ideal for soaking tired feet after a day of adventures. Upstairs, the peaceful primary suite offers a king bed by a freestanding tub, an ensuite with dual vanities and walk-in robes, and a balcony looking out over the vines. The cosy, self-contained cottage features two bedrooms (one with a queen bed, the other with two singles), a compact kitchen, a wood burner, Smart TV, and a bathroom.
Additional comforts include a dedicated laundry area with shower and toilet, free Wi-Fi, ample parking, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens with koi pond—a peaceful spot to sit, reflect, or simply watch the world go by. (Please do not feed the fish.)
A starter pack of wood is provided during the winter months only (June – August). This includes kindling, firelighters, matches, and wood. Axes are not supplied due to safety reasons. Additional wood may be purchased from a nearby fuel station or hardware store.
