Please tell me about the property and where to find you!

Adopt the gentle pace of nature and stay at Settlers Rest Farmstay, barely a 30 minute drive from Perth and 15 minutes from Perth Airport. Settlers Rest is centrally located among the Swan Valley vineyards and easily accessable from the Swan Valley Tourist Drive 203. Historic Guildford is just 6 kilometres away.

You'll find seclusion, relaxation, tranquillity - worlds away from the pressures of daily life. Uninterrupted sweeping views to the Darling Ranges never cease to amaze. Witness the Earth's shifting moods from the dry red ground in January to the lush
green pastures of June. You'll want to come back again and again.

Relax as the sun sets over the vineyards at the end of another enjoyable day. Watch the moon rise over the distant hills and gaze up at the stars on a warm summer evening.

When the weather turns cold, curl up in front of the open fire with a special coffee or a glass of local red and enjoy the comforting atmosphere.

For those more energetic, why not stroll through our vineyard to the banks of the Swan River, picnic by the waters edge, or try your hand at fishing from the private jetty. Perhaps you'll be lucky!

Hear the sounds of kookaburras and other Australian birdlife. Hand feed Alpacas, horses, pet goats, lambs and sheep. Feed the chickens and ducks and collect their eggs for breakfast.

It doesn't take long for the pace of life to slow down a little, the transition from stressed out worker to happy carefree holiday maker is instantaneous. Whether you stay a week or a weekend, we know you'll want to stay longer.
