Chantelle Drobot, ND

The name Wombat Barn has a real fairytale charm to it… and the home itself is just as wholesome and delightful as it sounds! Jenni Draper and Jennie Wilmoth only intended for this property to be their weekender, but once it was built, slowly shifted their lives into this incredible English cottage-meets-Scandinavian-light property.

Wombat Barn features one of the cosiest country kitchens we have ever seen, and if you find yourself envious of this idyllic home, don’t fear, you can book in the stay in the guest wing!

Five years ago, when on a holiday to her hometown of Esperance, Western Australia, Fiona Shillington took a wrong turn and stumbled upon a 30-year-old holiday camp that had fallen into disrepair. While most people would simply do a U-turn and be on their way, this moment of fate inspired a major change in lifestyle for Fiona and her family.

Fiona ended up purchasing the camp, and turning it into a unique holiday spot, characterised by its distinctive A-frame cabins. With a lot of hard work, Esperance Chalet Village is now one of the most sought-after accomodation offerings in Esperance!
