"Hidden Grove Retreat" is an established luxury chalet development, within a peaceful and tranquil native forest setting, providing high quality adult accommodation via 3 beautifully appointed and self contained chalets, each of which is able to command high tariffs.
A secondary income source being established is a boutique olive oil and product sales business, with the oil sourced from 400 organically grown olive trees aged between 2 and 7 years. The property is located approximately 40 kms south east of Collie and about an hours drive from the regional city of Bunbury and beaches along the west coast of W.A.. It is situated in a scenic mixed farming area, within reasonably close proximity of vineyards, olive groves and other attractions popular with tourists visiting this area of the South West.
Two of the architecturally designed chalets are 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, with the third being 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
All are spacious and beautifully appointed including features such as wood burning heaters, air conditioning and covered private decks with inset hot tub spas, outdoor furniture and electric barbeques.
Further details on the chalets and what they offer is available on the property web-site at

Set on 100acres of mainly native timbered rural zoned land and adjoining a large tract of native forest and farming properties, this private tranquil retreat is located within an area of the south west of Western Australia, recognised as an increasingly popular tourism destination for both Australian and International clientele.
Further as new improvements on the property include a well appointed 2 storey manager’s residence, including an office and reception facility, a large lockable shed with power, concrete floor and a laundry for chalet guests.
Water tanks with combined capacity of 300,000 litres store rainwater for use in residence and chalets.
Two dams equipped with pumps, supply water for irrigation of the olive grove and gardens.
For the enjoyment of guests, established walk trails meander through the native forest on the property. Board-walk and gazebo features on the dams provide further attractions for guests, as does a large size outdoors chess set, shaded by a sail cover.
Resident native animals and birds, wildflowers, particularly in the spring period, and many species of native flora add to the charm of this quiet secluded setting.
A Biomax waste-water treatment and recycling system has been installed to service the chalets, with the treated water able to be reticulated onto the olive trees.
A standard septic system services the manager’s residence.
All water and power supply lines are run underground and gravelled access roads are maintained on a regular basis by the owners, utilising the plant and equipment included in the property sale.
The sellers of this delightful property have worked meticulously over the last decade on its development from the original vacant rural block to the absolute feature it is today.
More recent additions have been the luxury chalets and olive grove with the chalet side of the business being operational for between 4 and 5 years, during which time it has steadily grown to what it is today.
July 2011 was the best month ever experienced during the time the chalets have been operating and much of the custom now experienced is from guests who return on a regular basis or by recommendations from those guests who have previously experienced the charm of Hidden Grove Retreat. The sale of a range of boutique olive oil products is also steadily increasing as the trees get older and hence produce more fruit.
A picturesque area of the property well removed from the 3 Luxury Adult Chalets has been prepared for a proposed stage 2 development, which ideally would comprise a function and games centre,
3 family size eco cottages and a small Cafe. This further development will be subject to Planning Approval, although it is likely receive full support from a progressive Boyup Brook Shire keen to attract more tourist facilities to the area.
Offered as a going concern, the property sale includes the chalet and boutique olive sales business, all requisites associated with the chalets and olive grove, and plant and equipment items used to maintain and develop the property.
Due to the nature of the business involved property viewing is strictly by prior appointment only.
