River Bend Retreat by Private Properties

Set on 50 acres of farmland, native bush, and beautifully kept gardens, this peaceful property sits right on the banks of the Blackwood River, perfect for switching off, soaking up the scenery, and just breathing in the fresh country air.

Whether you’re chasing some proper rest, planning a bit of adventure, or just want to get back to nature for a while, River Bend Retreat is a special spot that welcomes you with open arms.

The Property

River Bend Retreat is home to two cosy hideaways, Birdsong and Blue Wren, each offering their own little slice of peace and quiet. Surrounded by trees, birdlife, and the gentle sounds of the river, both are set up to help you settle in and feel right at home.

Birdsong, a three bedroom, one bathroom cottage with plenty of space to spread out and relax. With comfy bedrooms, a generous living area, and lovely views of the surrounding bush, it’s ideal for families or a few friends on a weekend away. Wander out to the verandah with a cuppa, listen to the birds, and let the river’s steady flow do the rest.

Just a stone’s throw away is Blue Wren , a light and airy two-bedroom, one-bathroom stay that’s perfect for a couple or a small family. With all the modern comforts and a warm, homely feel, it’s a great spot to slow down, sleep in, and enjoy the simple pleasures. Morning walks, river dips, long lunches on the lawn, they all hit differently here.

There’s more to discover around the property too. The Barn is set up for a bit of friendly rivalry, with table tennis and darts ready for family fun or a few laughs with friends. Little ones will love Ned, a charming cubbyhouse made from an old train carriage, tucked near Birdsong. And for quiet moments by the water, head to the River Lookout, a peaceful spot with a table and chairs where you can sit back, take in the view, and soak up the sounds of the river.
Guests are also welcome to enjoy a little farm experience with the property caretakers, ie: collecting the chicken’s eggs.

The Surrounds

There’s no shortage of space to explore at River Bend. The property features a beautiful mix of native bush and an impressive arboretum with over 20 different tree species. You’ll find winding walking tracks, shady spots for a picnic, and plenty of birds and wildlife to keep you company. And with the Blackwood River flowing right past your door, there’s always somewhere peaceful to sit and take it all in.

Just a short 10-minute drive puts you in the heart of Nannup, a charming country town known for its bike trails, wildflowers, and relaxed pace. Whether you’re up for a ride through the forest, a wander around town, or sampling the region’s great food and wine, there’s something here for everyone.

Whether you’re after adventure or just a quiet place to unwind, River Bend Retreat is the kind of place that leaves you feeling lighter. Come and stay a while, it’s good for the soul.
