SLOW STAYS

If the rammed earth walls don’t give you a hint of the sustainable sensibility Cape Rendezvous embodies, perhaps the tall tree trunks that rise from downstairs all the way up to the apex of the vaulted ceiling will. This two-storey holiday home is set amongst five acres of native bushland in Vasse – five minutes from Busselton and around 30 minutes from Margaret River – and marries striking William Morris wallpaper and chandeliers with refurbished secondhand furniture and views of peppermint trees. Start your morning with locally roasted coffee from the owners’ South Perth cafe, made with your own professional barista machine, and help yourself to cucumbers, peppers, rosemary, and handfuls of basil from the veggie garden as you prepare meals in the handsome kitchen. Please note linen is an optional extra at this property.
