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.
