We found a charming cabin off Caves Road in Yalingup, Western Australia.
Judy and Mark Fisher run the Wyadup Brook Cottages. Judy herself designed the cabin we stayed in. It is spacious with a kitchen (stove, microwave, and fridge), large living/dining area including a fireplace, two bedrooms, and a very large bathroom (with a washer!).
The doorknobs are spherical and the toilet doesn't allow for a side approach but the custom-made queen bed is at a perfect height and the Fishers are a friendly couple who are eager to accommodate guests with disabilities.
I don't think you could go wrong choosing Wyadup Brook Cottages for a "hidey hole" and secluded base camp for day trips through Western Australia's wine country.
The nearby expanse of coastline is networked with trails - although not wheelchair accessible. The Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leuwin route is understandably popular.
Down the road to the south is the majestic Karri Forest. Don't miss it!
(Thank you Jim & Debra Arkoosh for turning me on to another out-of-the-way wonder of the world!)
