Rustic Charm at Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage
My time at Roebank on the River Cottage was a peaceful getaway. Julie was so kind to offer to let me come back after my trip got cut short due to work. The rugged beauty of the landscape with the river so close created a tranquil atmosphere. Chilling on the upstairs balcony felt like staring at a beautiful painting because of the view. The cottage is old and basic but I found this just added to its charm. I'm a nature lover, so watching the wildlife and feeding the sheep was heartwarming. Roebank is a rustic gem for a calming farm stay. Can't wait to return to this cozy retreat of rustic charm and friendly hospitality.

Misleading photos
Photos on website are nothing like what the property looks now. Outside vegetation is overgrown and there is sheep poo everywhere. In side the house is infested with spiders, earwigs and cockroaches, even inside kitchen cupboards and appliances. The house is poorly maintained, with fly nets falling off and bathroom window glass almost falling out. Light bulbs missing, and lots and lots of spiderwebs everywhere. Beddings and towels did not smell nice and when washed the water came out brown. Overall cleanliness was poor. Location was amazing, and surroundings with beautiful views. Stay was relatively cheap, but definitely not worth it. Overall rating : Very good for location Poor for everything else, not worth the price.

Paradise on the Blackwood
Quaint farmhouse in a picturesque location with the river on the doorstep. We enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Roebank, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. The accommodation was clean and cosy with everything we needed and host, Julie, was very accommodating and easy to contact/communicate with. The huge open fireplace downstairs was an absolute dream! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Not 28km from Nannup as stated
Julie the owner was lovely and very accommodating. Only issues was that it stated 28km from Nannup which maybe true for a crow. Please change on the listing to 54km by car

Peaceful Riverside Setting
Overall the facilities were good. The beds comfortable, everything you need is there. Wonderful view in an isolated country setting by the river. The house has old furniture and a casual feel but roomy.
