Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage, Farm stay and Homestead

The Blackwood Farm cottage is located 9km from Bridgetown and straddles 1.5km of the Blackwood river.

This 2 story farmhouse has sweeping views of the Blackwood river and the surrounding valley with a large outdoor decking area to take it all in.

The cottage features a wood ooen fire place and heated by a reverse cycle air con . 3 bedrooms, separate bathroom, kitchen and appliances.note firewood is not supplied byo wood ( some paddock wood available for fire pits)

This is a true farm house style home and guest should expect a “no frills” standard in the home.

Nestled on a hobby farm complete with the sheep and geese.
Come and enjoy the quiet serenity of the beautiful bush land and river.

Child Supervision

Roebank is a working hobby farm and bordered by the Blackwood River which poses risks to young children. Make sure children are supervised at all time as there is unfenced water, steep embankments and farming equipment.

Children should also be supervised at all times when on the balcony, to assist in isolating this area from children there is a key attached to the wall above sliding door. Children under 12 years old are not suitable guests

Established in 1890 sitting on 59 hectares

Serenity

Overall we were happy with the stay. The house was isolated and in a beautiful spot with the river and valleys. Breathaking views that I will miss. The house is as just listed, not the cleanest or neatest. Main issue is the red dirt road 4-5km to get to the property. Thankfully it was raining the last few days otherwise your car's back windscreen will be covered. If that is not an issue I would recommend this place to you.

Pictures are not accurate

The house has an awful smell of old damp carpet. We did not sleep in the bedrooms because we couldn't stand the smell of the the rooms. We all slept in the living room. The kitchen cabinets were not clean as well, we found a spider inside. We tried to communicate this feedback on our first night but the property manager said this is the first time they hard such comment. Looking at the reviews I think she is mistaken. There were few who shared the same views as ours. So totally not worth the money.

Rustic Charm at Roebank on the Blackwood River Cottage

My time at Roebank on the River Cottage was a peaceful getaway. Julie was so kind to offer to let me come back after my trip got cut short due to work. The rugged beauty of the landscape with the river so close created a tranquil atmosphere. Chilling on the upstairs balcony felt like staring at a beautiful painting because of the view. The cottage is old and basic but I found this just added to its charm. I'm a nature lover, so watching the wildlife and feeding the sheep was heartwarming. Roebank is a rustic gem for a calming farm stay. Can't wait to return to this cozy retreat of rustic charm and friendly hospitality.

Misleading photos

Photos on website are nothing like what the property looks now. Outside vegetation is overgrown and there is sheep poo everywhere. In side the house is infested with spiders, earwigs and cockroaches, even inside kitchen cupboards and appliances. The house is poorly maintained, with fly nets falling off and bathroom window glass almost falling out. Light bulbs missing, and lots and lots of spiderwebs everywhere. Beddings and towels did not smell nice and when washed the water came out brown. Overall cleanliness was poor. Location was amazing, and surroundings with beautiful views. Stay was relatively cheap, but definitely not worth it. Overall rating : Very good for location Poor for everything else, not worth the price.

Paradise on the Blackwood

Quaint farmhouse in a picturesque location with the river on the doorstep. We enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Roebank, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. The accommodation was clean and cosy with everything we needed and host, Julie, was very accommodating and easy to contact/communicate with. The huge open fireplace downstairs was an absolute dream! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Overall the facilities were good. The beds comfortable, everything you need is there. Wonderful view in an isolated country setting by the river. The house has old furniture and a casual feel but roomy.

Disappointed

Although the property has amazing views and is located in a very beautiful place, unfortunately the accommodation itself is not great. It’s dated indeed, however this would not be a problem for us as long as it was clean. The cleanliness left something to be desired. Julie, the host, is very nice and provided us with clear directions.

A weekend break

We started off by not being able to find the property. Julie said she had emailed us directions on the morning of our arrival but it has still not arrived 3 days later. When we could finally contact her she came out and guided us to the property. We are three guests in our 70’s so found the entry from car park a little daunting. The house was superficially clean but left a lot to be desired with spiderwebs and spider dirt along kitchen windowsill above the sink and in bedrooms, bathroom and toilet. The fireplace downstairs was full of rubbish and mouse dirt was found in the downstairs bed. Tea towels hanging on the kitchen cupboard did not appear to be clean. Saturday night using the toaster caused three lots of power outage, fixed by flicking the control switch up. Next morning there was a general power outage, a western power fault but unable to have shower before we left. Location of the cottage overlooking the river was wonderful. The changing views looking up and down the river with fog and sunshine and then rain was magical. Bird life was great. It was so good to get away from traffic noise and mobile reception was non existent. (iiNet mobile) Beds were comfortable and I slept well. A jolly good spring clean would certainly enhance the appeal of this property. With the current Covid situation one could not be satisfied that the current methods are enough. The current layout is not reflected in the photos posted on Stayz.
