Located on a 15-hectare farm with vineyard, winery, avocado orchard and vegetable gardens, Burnside Organic Farm offers fully self-contained bungalows. The bungalows have large baths, wood fires (only in winter) and large verandahs for relaxing.
Cool in summer and cosy in winter. The bungalows are solar passive and set apart in remnant bush providing peace and privacy for all guests. Children are welcome in the two bedroom bungalows and can play in the bungalow garden or explore the bush.
Guests, who book a stay, have access to exclusive self-guided experiences. On arrival you will be given a map to follow the 1.7km of walk trails. See the whole farm including the market garden, caper bushes, avocados trees and how animals are integrated into these systems. A genuine working farm and winery.
ORGANIC WINE
Burnside Organic Farm is also home to a small family winery. Jamie & Lara planted the grapes in 2001 and they handpick and make the wine onsite. Certified Biodynamic Demeter. Your guarantee the wine is organic from paddock to bottle.
Jamie & Lara chose the variety Zinfandel because of its luscious berry fruit characters. Keeping with the Italian theme, they also planted a white grape variety called Vermentino. The wine is pale in colour, medium-bodied and the palate is full of sumptuous zesty lemon, stone fruit, pear and earthy minerality. It is an excellent food wine. Both the Zinfandel & Vermentino are dry grown. The vines have to search deep for water, encouraging strong, deep resilient roots.
The fruit is handpicked in early March. The Zinfandel is wild fermented in open vats. The Vermentino is pressed and wild fermented in barrel. Grapes are picked when the moon is waxing when sugar levels are at their best. The Zinfandel must is basket pressed and placed in a combination of new and old French oak barrels. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation in barrel and is aged for 12 months.

An absolutely wonderful stay! Peaceful location less than 10 minutes drive away from Margaret River, surrounded by nature and some wonderful farm animals. We saw kangaroos every morning in the neighbouring fields which was very special for us. The bungalow was very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom. Jamie and Lara are wonderful hosts and we will definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful farm and lovely hosts in Jamie and Lara. We enjoyed relaxing every day and driving a short distance to visit Margaret River town and swim in the awesome ocean beaches that are nearby. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Burnside Organic Farm.
Our cottage was perfect for our young family of 3- we wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Burnside Organic Farm when you're planning your next trip to the Margaret River.
