About this chalet rental
Umatah means "you matter". Umatah to us, Umatah to yourself, Umatah to those around you and Umatah to the environment. Umatah is part of the original State Brick Works that was closed down in the 1940’s after their excavations hit an underground spring. The property runs on organic principles and has a mango orchard, apiary, vegetable wicking beds plus various other fruit and nut trees. There is a large waterhole, landscaped gardens and endless native bushland.
The Space:
Umatah Retreat Chalet was designed to nurture wellness and stimulate your senses to encourage relaxation. The chalet is disability friendly with wide doorways and ramped access**. It is surrounded by native bushland and overlooks the tranquil waters of the historic quarry, with city views as the backdrop.
Umatah Retreat Chalet has an open plan living space with full kitchen, two bedrooms, large bathroom and outdoor alfresco area. The bedrooms consists of one master suite with king bed and a second bedroom which can be configured with either two long singles or one king bed.
The outside area is fenced from the main property to keep our friendly dogs, ponies and alpacas off your deck.
Guest Access:
In addition to Umatah Retreat Chalet, guests will have access to the 'green', waterhole and surrounding bushland areas.
Umatah Experiences:
- Kayak on the quarry
- Bird watching
- Bush walking
- Mountain Biking (BYO bike/gear)
(bushwalking and mountain bike tracks are right behind our property)
Love you, because you matter

Judy and Heath have a very special place, perched on the quarry lake edge there in Byford. So close to the city, yet so peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle. The attention to detail around every moment of our experience was outstanding. Every time we were wanting for something, we would find that we had been pre-empted and a (lovely) solution had been provided for us. Friendly folk, faultless, and fabulousWe highly recommend and will be returning.

My husband and I came to Umatah to have a much needed "charge the battery" weekend and we got so much more from staying here. Jade and Heath have gone beyond creating a space full of joy. The moment I walked in to the sound of relaxing music playing, the delicious fire was prepared, our bedroom was stunning and when I walked into the bathroom which had everything you could need every bit of stress just melted away. Jade has left no stone unturned and you can feel that the warmth of her soul was in every detail. From the fresh eggs and milk to the ice ready for a wine. The kitchenware is amazing. I felt like someone just gave me the biggest, warmest hug and it was a reminder to myself how much I matter. We have done quite a bit of travelling around Australia and overseas however the location and the state of cleanliness was 6 stars. The view, the animals and tranquility will not be forgotten. Thank you Heath and thank you Jade for sharing your beautiful property and building a chalet for others to enjoy a piece of paradise. Karen and Nils (Lancelin WA)
