DO YOU ALLOW CHILDREN?
Yes. Children are welcome when they are included in the booking and the total number of guests remains within the accommodation’s capacity. One Bedroom Chalets accommodate up to 2 guests, Two Bedroom Spa Chalets up to 4 guests, and The Lodge up to 8 guests. Please contact us before booking if you need help selecting the most suitable accommodation.
CAN WE BRING PETS?
No. Forest Rise has a strict no-pets policy to protect our kangaroos and native wildlife, including the endangered Western Ringtail Possum, and to preserve the peaceful environment for every guest. The surrounding National Park is also baited with 1080 poison for fox control, so pets must not be brought onto the property.
IS BREAKFAST INCLUDED?
No. Forest Rise accommodation is self-contained and self-catering, with a kitchen provided. There is no onsite restaurant or shop, so guests should bring groceries or purchase supplies in Vasse, Busselton or Margaret River.
CAN WE HAVE A LATE CHECK-OUT?
Late check-out is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Please contact the Forest Rise team before arrival to make a request. An additional charge may apply depending on the time requested and the following booking.
WHAT WILDLIFE WILL WE SEE?
Guests often see Western Grey Kangaroos, ducks, grebes and many native bush and water birds. Species recorded around Forest Rise include Western Rosellas, Elegant Parrots, cockatoos and Wedge-Tailed Eagles. Possums, bandicoots and reptiles also live in the wider region. Please observe wildlife from a safe distance and never feed or approach wild animals.
IS THERE PHONE RECEPTION AND WIFI?
Complimentary WiFi is available in the chalets and The Lodge. Forest Rise is a 240-acre rural property, so mobile phone reception can vary by carrier and location. If reliable connectivity is important, we recommend enabling WiFi calling and contacting us before your stay with any specific requirements.
CAN WE CHARGE AN EV?
Yes, but EV charging is limited and must be arranged before arrival. Charging is currently available at two One Bedroom Bath Chalets, one Two Bedroom Spa Chalet and The Lodge. It is not included in the nightly rate and is not available at the One Bedroom Spa Chalets. Please add the request to your reservation notes or contact us directly. Chargers are for registered guests only and are not available to the public.
DO YOU OFFER GIFT CARDS?
Yes. A Forest Rise gift card is a thoughtful and flexible gift for a Margaret River escape. When guests redeem their gift card, a complimentary bottle of local sparkling wine will be waiting in their accommodation on arrival. Please contact Forest Rise to purchase a gift card or discuss the available options and conditions.
