Step outside your Jarrah Grove chalet in spring, and you'll find yourself in a secret garden of breathtaking beauty. Our 86 acres of native forest, which we refer to as a "forest alive with wonder," becomes a vibrant canvas of colour, making it a spectacular time to visit

OVER 160 SPECIES
A Floral Spectacle

These aren't just a backdrop; they are a key part of the unique experience we offer, bursting with colour and life in every season. From the delicate blossoms underfoot to the vibrant bursts of colour along the walking trails, the forest floor truly comes alive. It’s a photographer's and nature lover's dream.

EXPLORE
Where to Spot Them
While wildflowers can be found everywhere you look, there are a few particularly rewarding spots to explore:
- Forest Walking Trails: Take a slow wander along the paths that wind through our property. You’ll find countless species of wildflowers tucked away, with the forest floor ablaze with blooms.
- The Bushland Border: The edges of the clearings and pathways are often where you’ll spot some of the most vibrant and unique flowers.
- A "Magical" Spot: Look for areas of sunlight filtering through the trees. These sun-drenched patches are often hotspots for orchids, which thrive in dappled light.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING
When to Visit
Spring in Western Australia typically runs from September to November, and this is prime time for wildflower spotting. The season can vary slightly depending on the winter rains, so the best advice is to plan your visit for the heart of spring to witness the forest at its most spectacular.
To see the wildflowers in their full glory, plan a slow, leisurely stroll. Bring your camera, a keen eye, and a sense of wonder. Every visit to the forest reveals a different natural story, one your guests will never forget.

EVENING
Back to Your Sanctuary
As the sun begins to set, the best part of the day trip is returning to the tranquility of Jarrah Grove Forest Retreat. The drive back is peaceful, and you'll feel a sense of calm as you re-enter the forest.
With the day's adventures behind you, it’s time to truly unwind. Cook a delicious meal in your fully equipped kitchen, enjoy a local wine on your private deck, or simply relax in the deep spa bath with a view of the forest. This is the luxury of stillness—the perfect end to a day of exploration.
