Top Adventure Lodges Hot Properties Merribrook Retreat: Merribrook River, Australia By Laurel Miller
ALTHOUGH MERRIBROOK RETREAT, an elegant ensemble of rammed-earth chalets, isn't in the outback—no enormous crocodiles or freaky red-rock formations here—it's still situated in one of the most geographically isolated spots on earth, southwestern Australia's Margaret River region. A three-hour drive south from Perth delivers rolling grasslands, stately eucalyptus forests, and the deserted talcum beaches and crystalline waters of the southern Indian Ocean. Room & Board: Nine chalets, set among fruit orchards and scattered around a small lake, come stocked with handcrafted soaps and plush beds. Sip a regional sauvignon blanc in the hot tub while watching the resident kangaroos come out to feed. Dawn brings an alfresco breakfast of house-made granola, berries, and local sheep's-milk yogurt while cobalt-colored fairy wrens flit overhead.
Details: Doubles, $149–$183, breakfast included; 011-61-8-9755-5599, www.merribrook.com.au
