The Grove
Award-winning luxury accommodation outside of Dunsborough
Set among the quiet woodlands of Quindalup, The Grove is a contemporary retreat that balances privacy, comfort, and a close dialogue with nature on its five acres near Dunsborough’s celebrated region. The property presents two thoughtfully designed accommodation options: The Residence, which can host up to eight guests in four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, and The Pavilion, a half-house option designed as a tranquil hideaway for couples.
A considered analysis of the built form reveals a collection of dark, gabled structures. Their angular lines and restrained palette allow the buildings to nestle into the landscape rather than dominate it. The exterior, defined by clean lines and subdued tones, is softened by native plantings and winding gravel paths. The journey from the house to the firepit is marked by a transition from solid timber decking to stone-edged paths, structured yet informal. This sequence makes social gathering spaces feel connected, while also allowing quiet moments to unfold against the quiet backdrop of forest views.
Interior appointments echo an ethos of refined simplicity. Bathrooms are notable for their generous proportions and the use of honest materials. Timber vanities, smooth concrete basins, and tiled flooring create a calming visual rhythm, complemented by wide windows that frame the green of the forest beyond. These touches, combined with muted whites, evoke a sense of calm, with each element purposefully placed for functionality and ease.
Bedrooms follow a similar principle, with timber details, minimal decoration, and soft textiles drawing attention to the changing play of outdoor light. Pendant lights flank the beds, casting warm pools of illumination, and broad windows open to secluded views, blurring boundaries between interior repose and the bush outside. Living spaces are furnished with simplicity—plush sofas, woven rugs, and gentle artwork create zones that invite guests to unwind without excess.
The design of The Grove Quindalup is deeply rooted in an understanding of its site. Each decision—whether opening a view, choosing a material, or placing a pathway—contributes to a sense of belonging within the landscape. Amenities such as fireplaces, outdoor grills, and generous lounging areas speak to Western Australian traditions of indoor-outdoor living.
Both The Residence and The Pavilion are crafted for restorative stays, with the flexibility to support shared experiences or solitude. Through a measured blend of architecture and setting, The Grove Quindalup delivers an experience that is calm, considered, and in constant conversation with its natural environment.
