Curated accommodation in the Southwest Tallinup region
A riverside holiday home in Augusta, WA
Perfectly nestled on the banks of the Blackwood River, peeping through the majestic Peppermint Gums, The Shipwright’s Mistress is a fortress for rest and connection.
Whether it’s a weekend escape or a long, lingering holiday, it’s a place you can instantly call home. Gentle vintage finds and family handcrafted nautical pieces fill every corner, alongside all the creature comforts for a truly restorative stay.
And what you won’t find? A television. We’ve left it out on purpose, to make room for conversation, laughter and pockets of quiet.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Where you’ll sleep
Two bedrooms, sleeping up to four. A queen in bedroom one, a queen plus a single in bedroom two, all dressed in quality linen for the deepest of holiday sleeps.
A kitchen made for cooking
A Smeg gas stove, dishwasher and well stocked pantry, plus a library of cookbooks for inspiration. The kind of kitchen that makes you want to cook a long, lazy dinner.
On the Blackwood River
Directly across the road from the river in old Augusta, with an easy stroll south into town.
Thoughtfully unplugged
No TV here, on purpose. Just books, games and puzzles to bring back the conversation and laughter. Bring your own device if a movie night calls.
Charge up while you unwind
Driving electric? Bring your portable EV charger and plug into our dedicated 15 amp outlet for an overnight top up while you relax.
