  • The lounge at Bushmans Cabin romantic Airbnb WA

Morning lake swims, meandering forest trails and a fire pit to cosy up around come nightfall. If that sounds like a recipe for your best romantic escape then this WA Airbnb is one to add to the list.

The Bushmans is your very own two-bedroom cabin, that sits on the edge of a karri forest in Quinninup, a two-hour drive from Margaret River, WA.

It’s a spot for those who fancy themselves some slow and secluded living—wine and cheese plates on the verandah, and strolls around the lakefront included.

Inside, your pad just calls out for a spot of Insta snapping, with vintage windows, wooden beams and the cutest red brick fireplace, complete with woodburner to snuggle around.

Grab the bubbles and park yourself in the white clawfoot bath for a leisurely soak or, if stargazing’s your thing, you can head outside and slide into the sunken outdoor tub instead.

Whipping up a snack won’t be a problem, as the kitchen is rustic and uber cute—plus it comes with all the good stuff, including a vintage-style oven, French press and espresso maker for those who love their caffeine fix.

In the mood for a spot of wine-tasting? You’re surrounded by estates here, so swinging by a cellar door for a drop won’t be a struggle.

Back at base with your favourite bottle, you can crack open the games and cards your hosts supply.

Or maybe just grab yourself a blanket, toddle outside to the firepit and drink in that serenity.
