The place itself

Yelverton Brook Conservation & Wildlife Sanctuary is a family-owned haven nestled on 100 acres in the picturesque Margaret River region of Western Australia. Since 1992, Joy and Simon Ensor have created a peaceful retreat that invites guests to immerse themselves in nature. The sanctuary features self-contained lodges made from Jarrah, Sheoak, and Peppermint timber, along with cozy one-bedroom studios, all surrounded by lush bushland filled with native flora and fauna. The sanctuary is designed for those seeking a unique experience away from the hustle and bustle of traditional resorts. Guests can enjoy close encounters with Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, possums, and a variety of bird species, all while relaxing in their private outdoor spaces. The hosts provide wildlife feed and expert guidance, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature without ever leaving the property. With fully equipped kitchens and open-plan living areas, the lodges are perfect for leisurely mornings and evenings by the firepit. Just minutes from the renowned wineries, coastal walks, and forest trails of Margaret River, Yelverton Brook offers a serene base to explore the region while enjoying the tranquility of the bush. Joy and Simon also enhance the guest experience by offering free Margaret River A, Z guides, ensuring that visitors have access to the latest information about local attractions and activities. This commitment to guest satisfaction and environmental conservation makes Yelverton Brook a truly special destination.
