| When Sean & Sheila fell in love with
Tortoiseshell Farm 30 years ago, it was an unfenced, unserviced 100
acre bush block in the "never never". Without power they hand built
an amazing stone and timber homestead, fences, yards, roads, dams
and eventually horse arenas, stables, cottages and acres of
gardens.
Today it sits on the edge of Bridgetown (the
town is coming to it!) and offers a range of unique accommodation,
both luxury self-contained and in-house bed & breakfast. And
magically it still retains its privacy and isolation. It still
feels like the "never never", a world of its own cocooned by its
own bush and conservation forest and enjoying panoramic views.
ACCOMMODATION. Tranquility,
hospitality, breathtaking views along with frangrant gardens,
forests and wildlife are just a part of the magic of Tortosieshell
Farm. Enjoy comfort in the
bush in a choice of unique accommodation for coupls,
groups of adults and families. Cooked breakfasts and
delicious evening meals our speciality. Social,leashed dogs
by arrangement.Conditions apply. Bring your own horses for no
extra charge.;
