Hello, welcome to Rosa Glen Farm in Margaret River. The farm ground campsites are for those who are looking to escape with no power, no water and no facilities and little mobile coverage if you are not with Telstra. Campers need to be fully self contained. We are a biodynamic winery and farm, our vines were already established when we purchased the land just over 3 years ago and some of the first planted in the region. The farm is a working farm and well.. a massive work in progress. Our passion is the land, the environment, making good wine, listening to music, eating good food and sharing all of this with our community. We are opening up our farm to share with like minded souls who share the same passions as us (our community). Over the years we have started to learn about the secret spots on our property. The ones which are secluded, capture beautiful pieces of light at certain times of the day, where the black cockatoos love to rest on the branches of the gum trees, the areas where weeping peppermints create a haven and the frequencies of the frogs elevate at certain times of the year and times of the day are so loud that you cant hear yourself think. As a result we have several spots on our property we would love to share with like minded people who have a love for nature, music and wine. PLEASE BE AWARE WE HAVE NO FACILITIES such as toilets, showers and water. Our region 'Margaret River' is famous for wine but there are so many other things that make this place special. A wild but beautiful coastline uninhibited by people, karri forest, caves, mountain bike trails and a 120km coastal walk. We are also known for surfing and close by are a number of world famous breaks including Surfers Point which is located 20 minutes from the farm. Closer to the farm you can enjoy a short walk to a beautiful winery called SI Vintners, drive to The Berry Farm or the quirky town of Witchcliffe. At Witchcliffe you will find Darnell's General Store which has a gift shop (The Shed), cellar door (Amato Vino), coffee shop (Witchy Brews) and fantastic pub (Dear Darnells), newly opened McHenry Hohnen Vintners wine bar and vintage stores which it has become renown for.

We had a wonderful time camping here with Murray and Marilyn!!! Such a nice area and such lovely hosts. There is loads of space to camp, with lots of animals such as horse and goats to wander round to see. The location is ideal as it is quiet and peaceful but not too far removed from the local towns of Nannup and Greenbushes. 10/10 stay!!!!

It was very relaxing to stay there with the sound of the flowing river below. Lovely grassed area with the sheep and horses in the paddock. The birds (black cockatoos) in the trees in the morning and later towards the afternoon was just something to see.

We absolutely loved our stay at Fair Harvest Retreat — it was exactly what we needed for our time in Margaret River! We stayed for a week over the end‑of‑year holidays and it couldn’t have been better. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and immaculately maintained, with such a warm, homey feel. The kitchen and amenities were spotless and inviting, with plenty of hot water. Having the café right on site was such a bonus — the food was fantastic and so convenient, making it easy to relax and really enjoy the place without having to go anywhere for breakfast. It was the perfect spot to unwind, and we would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend!
