There’s something magical about losing yourself in a good book. The way the world falls away, time stretches, and you’re transported somewhere entirely new. For book lovers, the setting matters just as much as the story itself. The right environment can transform reading from a pastime into a deeply restorative ritual.
At Chambré Estate, we’ve created a sanctuary where literature and nature intertwine, offering the perfect escape for those who find solace between the pages.
Where Stories Come Alive
On three hectares of pristine bushland just south of Margaret River, our estate provides the tranquil backdrop every book lover dreams of. Here, the gentle rustle of native redgums and marri trees replaces the noise of everyday life, creating an atmosphere where you can truly immerse yourself in your reading.
Picture this: you’ve just settled into one of our elegantly appointed King Suites, sunlight streaming through the windows as it filters through the canopy outside. Your current read sits waiting on the custom-designed headboard, and a cup of locally roasted coffee steams gently beside you. The only decision you need to make is whether to stay nestled in your suite or venture out to discover one of the many reading nooks scattered across our grounds.
Your Personal Reading Sanctuary
Cozy Indoor Retreats
Each of our accommodations has been thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind. Sink into plush furnishings in your suite, where floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding parkland create a living painting that changes with the light. The Cabernet, Grenache, Malbec, and Syrah cabins offer spacious living areas perfect for spreading out with your book collection, while our King Suites provide intimate spaces where you can curl up undisturbed.
On cooler evenings, The Lodge beckons with its charming rock open fireplace. Imagine settling into a comfortable chair, the warmth of the fire on your face, as you turn page after page while the world outside grows dark.
Nature’s Reading Rooms
Step outside, and you’ll discover that some of our most enchanting reading spots are under open sky. Spread a picnic blanket by the dam and let the gentle lapping of water provide your soundtrack. Find a quiet corner in the Olive Grove, where dappled sunlight creates the perfect natural reading lamp. Or simply settle onto one of the outdoor chairs scattered throughout our gardens, where kangaroos graze peacefully in the distance.
The walking trails that wind through our property offer another dimension to your literary escape. Bring your book and find a secluded spot along the path, where native birds provide a gentle chorus and the scent of eucalyptus fills the air.
Indulgent Reading Experiences
Soak and Read
One of our most beloved features for book-loving guests is the opportunity to combine reading with pure indulgence. Our three Australian-made timber wood-fired hot tubs, thoughtfully positioned with views of the surrounding bush and valley, offer an experience unlike any other. There’s something profoundly luxurious about sinking into warm water, your book resting on the edge, as you alternate between captivating chapters and gazing at the stars above.
Sauna Sessions with Stories
Our communal sauna provides another unique reading retreat. As gentle heat envelops you and rain softly taps against the glass, you’ll find yourself in a cocoon of warmth and tranquillity- the perfect environment for getting lost in a gripping novel or thoughtful memoir.
Beyond the Pages
While we understand the allure of spending entire days with your nose in a book, Margaret River offers experiences that even the most devoted readers will want to explore.
Take a morning walk along the Margaret River Heritage Trail, a gentle 6-kilometre loop through tranquil Karri Forest. Return to your suite for an afternoon reading session, then venture out to nearby Stella Bella or Voyager Estate for an evening wine tasting. Perhaps you’ll discover the perfect wine to pair with your current read.
The region’s renowned coffee scene means you’ll never be far from the perfect brew to accompany your reading. And when hunger strikes, Margaret River’s gourmet food experiences provide delicious interludes between chapters.
Creating Your Literary Escape
Whether you’re working through a towering to-read pile, finally tackling that classic you’ve been meaning to get to, or simply want to reread an old favourite in a beautiful setting, Chambré Estate offers the space and serenity you need.
Bring your book club for a weekend retreat where you can discuss your latest selection over wine in The Lodge. Plan a solo escape where your only companion is your current read. Or surprise your book-loving partner with a romantic getaway where you can share favourite passages and discover new stories together.
At Chambré Estate, we believe that the best holidays are those where you can truly disconnect and rediscover simple pleasures. Browse our accommodation options and discover where your literary escape will unfold. Whether you choose a cabin, suite, or the entire estate, your perfect reading retreat awaits in the heart of Margaret River.
