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.
