A lost place. To find yourself.
Deep in the hinterland of the Southern Forests region of Western Australia, sits a forgotten enclave in the woods.
A settlement built around a mill long reclaimed by living timber; nature is slowly cocooning The Woodsman with towering trees and abundant wildlife.
An escape from the modern world, offering slow stays for conscious travellers to disconnect and discover.
Away from it all.
A winding 18 minutes through the forest from Manjimup, The Woodsman is the perfect isolated rustic escape for couples, creatives, friends or small families to enjoy open-fireplace romance, the beautiful forests, river, and the historic Mill, while being easy driving distance to Manjimup, Pemberton, and the greater Southern Forests wine and produce region.
The Woodsman is unapologetically not for everyone.
But if you long for open fireplaces and cosy layers of soft linen in a dark and moody escape from reality, instead of crisp white hotel sheets above a bustling city street, then maybe it will be for you…
Slow stays here are for waking up late and going to bed early. Pots bubbling on the wood stove while you walk by the river.
This is the place to re-connect away from the turbulence of day-to-day life, or to take some time purely for yourself to create, relax, or connect with yourself and your surroundings.
The Woodsman’s remote location makes for an unexpectedly central base to discover the beauty of the wider region and the producers and natural wonders within it.
