Arthur Hill Retreat is the kind of place that greets you with a deep breath and a quiet “you can relax now.” Tucked away in the heart of Collie, this charming 11-acre property backs directly onto a gently flowing river, creating a peaceful, ever-changing backdrop that feels a world away from the everyday. The river is the heart of it all and only a 2-minute walk away, inviting you down for a wander, a sit, or simply a moment to pause and take it all in. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and where doing nothing somehow feels like the best plan of all. Life here leans into a true country experience. You’ll wake to the sounds of nature, breathe in fresh, crisp air, and enjoy the simple rhythm of rural living. Sheep quietly graze across the property, adding to the peaceful charm—and if you feel like it, you’re more than welcome to feed them with us present and enjoy a small taste of farm life during your stay. Just ask! The views across the property are something special, with rolling hills and surrounding trees creating a sense of calm and privacy. For those who feel like exploring, Arthur Hill Retreat is perfectly positioned near some of the region’s best attractions. You can lace up your boots and experience a section of the iconic Bibbulmun Track, known for its breath-taking bushland and serene walking trails. Wander through town and discover the colourful charm of the Collie Mural Trail, where large-scale artworks bring the town’s stories to life. If you’re chasing water views, both Lake Kepwari and Black Diamond Lake offer stunning spots for a swim, picnic, or simply soaking in the scenery. Adventure seekers will love the local mountain biking tracks winding through the surrounding bushland. Just 20 km away, Wellington Dam awaits, home to an incredible mural on the dam wall and plenty of space for kayaking, hiking, and exploring. Despite its peaceful setting, it’s still just a short drive from the heart of Collie. Whether you feel like grabbing a coffee, picking up supplies, or exploring the area, everything you need is close by. Then, when you’re ready, return to your own retreat, where the pace is slower and the atmosphere is calm. It’s a chance to switch off, breathe deeply, and enjoy the simple things.

The Roebank Cottage was built in 1890 by the grand-daughter of John Septimus Roe who was a famous civil engineer contributing to the original town planning of Perth City and Roebourne. In the early days, Roebank was used for livestock grazing and had the largest shearing shed this side of Bridgetown used by the neighbouring farmers. Over the years the property has been used as a pear orchard, goat farm and other small farming activities. Today the property operates as a family hobby farm with short-stay accommodation along the river residences and nature park sites on the high points offering scenic views of the valley.

Our 120 acres of hobby farm has about 50 acres cleared with the remaining still natural scrub and bush land. To protect our fauna we ask that you DO NOT bring your own firewood - we can supply for you. Our homestead and sheds are totally off grid being solar with battery and generator backup and rain water tanks. We run a small flock of sheep with the obligatory goat thrown in for good measure and crop the cleared land to feed the stock through summer. We have free range Chickens, Geese and Guinea Fowl. A dam is situated in the bottom bush corner and another one has recently been built in one of the cropping paddocks. Depending on fire restrictions, quads and bikes can be ridden providing it’s with respect for stock, land and other campers and at your own risk. Dogs are welcome (and off leash) providing they are sociable, kept under control, don’t worry the stock and fowls and aren’t a nuisance to others. Current vaccinations and worming is required to help protect local farming, stock and working dogs. Introductions to our farm Kelpies is a responsible start as our kelpies have free range over our whole property. For those pooches that suddenly decide they can't contain their exuberance around stock we can supply long swivel chains or temporary use of our 20sqm dog run. The Blackwood River is a 15 minute drive where you can swim, canoe and waterski. Our property has a huge variety of birds, wildflowers and we even have Phascogales if you’re lucky enough to see one. Please note the nearest shops are 50km away but if you do forget something we will more than likely be able to help out (because my husband reckons I shop for Armageddon !) The quiet, the stars, the sunrises and sunsets will leave you wanting to return to our piece of paradise

This was our second visit and loved it even more than our first (in the middle of summer). Such a great spot, we had the place to ourselves, aside from the sheep, horses and ducks. It was a little wet, but it didn't dampen out trip as we bought along our own firepit. We're sure to be back again. Thanks Renee

Weekend Trip to Crossroads

We had a great time. Andrea and Dean are super welcoming, helpful and happy to have a chat. Our toddler loved all the animals (geese, guinea fowl, chickens) and farming equipment, he was lucky enough to have a ride in the tractor. When we were caught off guard and it started to rain, Andrea offered up her own gazebo for us to use. They showed us where the river was and we spent some time down there. Very friendly dogs that love a game of fetch. Whilst there isn't a whole lot to do in the area, this suited us fine. Relaxing in the bush air, by the fire was all we needed. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We took our 17 foot high top caravan to the hidden creek site. Check in is past the site entrance so I’d advise parking down the bottom and walking up if you have a big van. We just turned around up the top. The owner Errol was absolutely lovely, he brought us some kindle. He’s definitely a dog lover! The views here are gorgeous, there are farm animals for the kids to see, and a little shop. There is plenty of privacy, a good spot for a caravan and a couple of tents. The little lake is lovely too.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Ridge Camp Sites

We perched our caravan on the edge of the Sunset Ridge. The campfire pit just a few metres from the door. Sitting there by the fire in my deck chair, keeping warm, we absorbed the magnificent vista before us. The view across the valley was heaven. Although cloudy when we were there, the sunset peeked under the blanket of clouds on the western horizon to light the sky up in a madnificent pink orange hue. The birdlife was beautiful. Scarlet Robins danced around our camp, Red Tailed Black Cockatoos (being the larikins they are) were plentiful in the Marri trees around us. We woke up the first morning to a rather friendly and curious Highland Steer, right in the middle of our camp, along with a bunch of other cows. I had to usher them on so we didn't get too many "land mines" planted where we were staying. It is a very beautiful and peaceful place to relax. I thank Ryan and his family for sharing their wonderful property. I will definitely be going back. 10/10. Rick and Christel.

Weekend Trip to Arthur Hill Retreat

This is a fantastic spot right near the town centre. Even though we arrived after dark, Kate and Justin were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The fire pit was fantastic, especially with a fresh stack of wood ready to go on arrival. Thanks guys for a great stay!

1 night at Hester valley camping

I loved camping at Hester Valley. We chose a powered site with the most picturesque dam and rolling hills view. Wildlife galore with peacocks, ducks and peahens. We made the most of the bathroom with hot water! There was a fridge stocked full of essentials. Everything had been thought of. Warm, cozy, generous! A hug in the form of a camping ground.

Greater Preston National Park camping guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the serene expanse of Preston National Park, where the ancient Jarrah forest beckons with its majestic beauty. Wander along the Bibbulmun Track, immersing yourself in the vibrant wildflowers that flourish in Djilba and Kambarang. With no camping facilities, the park offers a pure, undisturbed natural experience for day-trippers and bushwalkers alike.

When to go

The best time to visit Preston National Park is during the wildflower season in Djilba and Kambarang, when the landscape transforms into a kaleidoscope of colour. Avoid the peak of summer, as the heat can be intense and the risk of bushfires is higher. Early autumn and late spring offer pleasant temperatures for exploring.

Know before you go

Ensure you have a personal location beacon (PLB) for safety, as the park is remote and rescue may be required.
Be aware that no dogs or other pets are allowed within the park to protect the native wildlife.
Entry to Preston National Park is free, making it an accessible adventure for all.
There are no visitor facilities, so come prepared with water, food, and first-aid supplies.
Respect the traditional owners, the Kaniyang and Wiilman people, by acknowledging their connection to the land.
