Barefoot Escape - luxury adult retreat

Helen & Pete Buttery, 03/29/2020

We stayed here for 8 days in February and were very impressed with the accommodation and outdoor space including the lovely pool. It certainly exceeded our expectations. Sally & Mike have put a lot of effort and thought into making this property a lovely place to stay. We had a very generous goodie bag on our arrival which was much appreciated. It is on the edge of Margaret River town and for someone like us who are from overseas, to have kangaroos hopping past your window and parrots in the trees is certainly something special and we will never forget. Barefoot is a great base to explore from as everywhere we went was within an hour or so. We were lucky to have the pleasure of meeting Sally & Mike who are a lovely couple and made us feel very welcome and provided us with lots of information about the area and places to visit. We would highly recommend staying here, it was our favourite place in our whole trip to WA.

We had a fantastic honeymoon getaway at Barefoot Escape. Location - utterly fantastic, less than a 5 minute drive to town,so super convenient, while also being located far away enough to be quiet, secluded, surrounded by beautiful trees and we didn't see another person or neighbor around us the entire time, felt lovely! Barefoot is close to awesome beaches, tourist locations and wineries and they have kindly provided a guest book with heaps of info about what to see and do. Expectation - we thought the photos looked fantastic, but it's even better in real life! Amenities - everything you could need is provided (cooking utensils, beach umbrella, picnic hamper, beach/pool towels, many bath towels, bath salts, etc) and the pool is as picture, and just as idyllic and private as it looks in the photos. The bathtub is perfect for 2 people, and the shower is large and spacious too. We loved the huge and comfy bed. The living room has plenty of light and gives a great sense of space. Even when the weather is very hot outside, we found the inside to be cool and comfortable. Extra touches - since Sally knew it was our honeymoon, when we opened the door, there was already romantic music playing. There was a bottle of high quality wine provided, and on the last day a personalised note was on our doorstep with 2 bottles of water for the long drive home. There was OJ and milk in the fridge, and a complimentary Margaret River food bag for us.It was these little touches that made our stay all the more special. Communication - communication between both Sally and ourselves and ourselves and Steve (at housedownsouth) was all great, super quick and professional responses. Overall Impressions - you can tell that this is not just a job/income earner for Sally, it's truly a labour of love. Her kindness made this one of the best vacation stays we have had anywhere in the world! 5 star experience all the way, living in romantic luxury!

Sally & Mike have created a beautiful welcoming & relaxing spacious studio - every comfort has been considered - even a pile of excellent holiday reads to choose from - walking distance to town or a 5 min drive - great base to enjoy the region and the wineries - the town is cute and a great way to "get your steps in" if you walk up and down the main road. Kangaroos in the paddock, kookaburras in the trees - so serene - the windows in the studio capture beautiful light in the morning & afternoons - so very peaceful - you are to be congratulated on creating this wonderful space for your guests. This was our 2nd time at Barefoot Escape and we'll definitely be back next time we get to WA

Recently had the opportunity to stay at Barefoot Studios, Margaret River and must say it was thoroughly enjoyable. Very comfortable and quiet and close to lots of attractions it was a perfect choice. Our 3 days was definitely not long enough to see all that the region has to offer so this will certainly be our choice of where to stay on our next visit. The accommodation is well presented and clean with bbq and pool. Very hard to fault and certainly recommended.

What a fabulous place. When we left Darwin it was 35 degrees and 93% humidity so these temps are heavenly. I have enjoyed relaxing in this tranquil environment & sleeping soundly at night. It is a gorgeous home away from home and we will definitely be back. We travel a lot and this is definitely one of our favourite destinations. Thank you for the comfortable bed - it is so hard to find good beds and pillows when you are away from home. Congrats!

Hi Matthew - thank you so much for the review - we really do appreciate hearing about our guests' experience. Barefoot Escape will be waiting for you to return! Best wishes, Tina and Steve House Down South

Thanks so much for an amazing stay at Barefoot. It is so well appointed, and really feels luxury. The all important bathroom is huge and beautiful and feels better than a 5 star hotel. Fantastic shower too. The living room and bedroom also gorgeous and felt like we had so much space to enjoy. The location of Barefoot is perfect too. It's a great place to be based for the wineries (we really enjoyed visiting Hayshed, Pierro and of course Leeuwin Estate). And just a few minutes drive you're right in town (Pizzica was excellent) or the other way on the cape to cape track. Thanks for the little extras too, really nice touches to make our stay that little bit special. Good advice in the book, we were in need of some advice from a pharmacist and the 777 in town were really brilliant. One of the best holiday places we've stayed in for sure, v highly recommended.

Beautiful setting close to town and beaches but perfectly secluded. Private pool and very comfortable accommodation. Friendly and helpful owners close by. Our second visit in 5 years and would definitely visit again.

We recently enjoyed a four night break at this amazing property. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at home. This experience was added to by the lovely little touches the house has throughout from the huge bath to the private pool, the lovely bed to the range of DVD's on hand to watch in the evenings with a bottle of local wine! We even woke up to a basket of home grown peaches and nectarines and were even asked what wine we preferred to have as a courtesy bottle on our arrival. We truly hope to return soon as this could easily become our haven away from the insanity of our daily work lifes.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property . Lots of tiny details made the stay extra special and enjoyable . The welcome pack was lovely , the robes and slippers were great and luxurious . The bed and linen provided was extremely high quality and provided an amazing nights sleep . The bathroom was huge with an amazing bath for a relaxing soak . The shower was also luxurious and massive . The blankets and picnic basket was great for when we went to the outdoor movies . The patio and pool area was amazing . I loved the round day bed . It was my favourite place to relax . The BBQ was immaculate and had all that was required . All in all the property was a very high standard and my husband and I were very impressed and will definitely want to stay again .

This property brings you best of both worlds, it's less than 5 minutes to the Margaret River CBD yet very secluded, tranquil, surrounded by nature all around. Size of the property gives you the sense of freedom and comfort. Amazing property and we'll be coming back for sure.
