Quiet Luxury in the Forest

Less is More is a striking one bedroom retreat set along the forest line of Wooditjup National Park, beside the Margaret River. Designed with intention and simplicity, this architectural home invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. With expansive, picture frame windows overlooking the forest, every moment inside feels like you are gazing at a living painting.

Perfect for couples seeking a peaceful escape, this thoughtfully designed 1 x 1 holiday home blends clean architecture with the raw beauty of its surroundings. Private, serene and immersed in nature, it offers a truly unique Margaret River experience.

The Space

Step inside to a spacious open plan living area where natural light pours through large windows framing the forest beyond. The living and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together, creating a warm and inviting heart of the home. A fireplace brings comfort during the cooler months, while the fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, oven and stovetop, making it easy to prepare relaxed meals at home.

This home has been intentionally designed for guests wanting to switch off from everyday distractions. While there is WiFi available, there is no TV, allowing you to fully embrace the peaceful surroundings. Instead, you will find a speaker for music and a thoughtfully selected assortment of games, perfect for slow evenings by the fire.

A large glass sliding door opens to an outdoor seating area with magical views across the forest. It is the ideal place for your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the light shifts through the trees. In the winter months, guests can also enjoy the outdoor firepit, perfect for cosy evenings under the stars, in line with seasonal fire restrictions. Downstairs, a cleverly concealed separate toilet is beautifully hidden within the wall, a playful design feature.

Upstairs, the loft style bedroom offers a king size bed positioned to capture elevated forest views. Waking here feels like sleeping among the treetops. The upper level also includes a spacious walk in robe, a bathroom with shower, and a separate toilet, providing both comfort and privacy where needed.

The home also features a large garage with space for two cars. Within the garage you will find a laundry area complete with washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities for your convenience.

Please note: This home is designed to immerse guests in nature, with large, uncovered windows that bring the surrounding forest directly into the living and sleeping spaces. The experience is intentionally open and light-filled, similar to a luxury camping retreat. Privacy is available in the bathroom and walk in robe. Guests who prefer blackout curtains or fully enclosed sleeping spaces may find this property is not the right fit.
