Ark of Denmark

Ark of Denmark (Ark) is 5 mins drive from town or in coffee terms, 5 mins from a decent coffee and breaky at Mrs Jones!
At the Ark you will find the Due South and Yurt properties. Our 2nd stay in the Due South and it does not disappoint.

Unique, rustic, cosy ‘self catering’ accomodation that is built into and raises up amongst the wonderful tall karri trees and large prominent grey granite rocks the latter of which the property is literally built around, a very romantic setting it has to be said.

We stay over during the summer months however, those staying in winter or thereabouts beware of the Denmark chill if coming from warmer climates! That said there is a wood burner and warm furnishings provided to wrap up warm and snuggle in with (and of course enjoy a nice glass of local red) as you enjoy the elevated view of the magical karri trees gently blowing outside with glimpses down to the inlet.

Don’t expect 5 star luxury but do expect to create ever lasting, deep romantic memories in this soulful place. My favourite however is the freestanding bath! See pic attached (does not do it justice!) Leave me in there with a few bubbles, some Ziggy Alberts playing and a small glass of the good stuff... love it ❤

A wonderful, rustic place to stay in the middle of the bush. The Yurt has a well equipped kitchen, a wood burning stove and a ground floor bathroom with great views of the bush from the shower! There is wi-fi but it didn’t work for us. The yurt is just a few minutes’ drive from Denmark and close to some lovely beaches. The Bibbulmun Track is a short walk away.

The yurt was such a beautiful little getaway! Surrounded by forest and nature, it was hard to believe that the ark is only about 5 minutes from town. My partner and I truly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Had an amazing few days in "Due South".
Such a unique place to stay. Set amidst the beautiful trees surrounded by nature.
Fabulous set up and being dog friendly is a massive bonus!

My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of staying two nights at this amazing place! Every thing you could possibly need was here.Loved the birds,tree's the Arc was so comforting and i fell in love with the whole building and the wonderful natural views out of every window. Loved the freshly baked loaf that awaited us on the beautiful wooden kitchen bench. We never saw the owners as they allow you privacy, which was lovely. We were greeted by their dog and played ball with her now and then, which was nice as we love our dogs and had left them behind.All in all this is the most refreshing and beautiful place to stay. We will be back, think we will try out the studio accommodation next time. :)

We spent the last 4 nights staying in "the yurt" at the Ark of Denmark and what a wonderful week it has been. The chalet has everything you need for a relaxing winter getaway for 2 (and of course your furry friend). The hosts are so friendly and helpful, the surrounds incredibly peaceful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Loved our winter stay at The Yurt. So cosy with the wood heater, we loved the forest views out of every window and all the personal touches were great. Donna & Lloyd are lovely hosts, highly recommend.

This place is EPIC. Cannot adequately describe how beautiful it is. A slice of heaven in the Great Southern region of WA. I wish i lived here. I want to go back! If you are looking for a place with the WOW factor, this is it.

The Yurt at Ark of Denmark made for a relaxing and comfy, romantic escape. The warmth of the fire, the sound of the birds while taking a bath and sitting inside watching out through large windows to little birds dancing in the bird bath were all magical. 2 nights there was not enough and we will be staying longer next time!

Amazing!
What an amazing building "Due South" is.
From the moment we reached the top of the steep driveway and pulled up outside Due South, we were blown away.
Entrance to the accommodation is between two massive granite boulders to the front door. As you enter onto the polished jarrah floor you look straight through the main living/bedroom area to the tree tops viewed through the expansive use of glass.
We were particularly impressed by the way the natural features of the property are incorporated into the structure, such as the huge granite boulders making up part of the wall and floor. The use of natural slabs of timber into the steps and even the furniture is beautiful.
To top it off the owners Donna and Lloyd are so welcoming and hospitable, Charli the dog also loves to come for a visit.
Highly recommended, can't wait to go back.

Absolutely loved the Yurt, peaceful, relaxing and amazing views and a unique place to stay in. Lots of character and trinkets that make it different to your usual accommodation. Friendly and helpful owners. The best location ever

Such a beautiful place. We stayed for one night and it was so peaceful. The property is lovely with lots of trees and great views over the bush and glimpses of the inlet. Very clean and comfortable. We didnt want to leave!!

A very nice place in the woods that quickly felt like home. What we particularly enjoyed: The cleanliness, privacy, equipment, peacefulness. Highly recommended.

The Ark is amazing, Donna, Lloyd and Charli are so welcoming and made me feel so at home with the personal touches in the Yurt and Due South is nestled on rock in the tree tops..you have to check it out.

Such an amazing place for us stay, our doggie also really enjoyed to walk in bush.
Highly recommend!

We stayed at The Yurt for 3 nights and had the most wonderful and memorable time here. It is such a cosy place, full of rustic charm and well decorated with thoughtful touches throughout the place. The owners Lloyd and Donna were warm and welcoming, and very helpful with their suggestions of where to go and what to do in the area.
The place is probably best suited for a couple or a small family of three (but not ideal for a family with a toddler as the steps leading upstairs have big gaps and is quite steep). The downstairs area comprises of the living area with a fireplace, which we absolutely loved as it kept the place warm throughout including the upper level where the bedroom is; the kitchen is charming and rustic, and has large windows with views of the bush and the birds.
The bathroom is also downstairs and is really quaint, except that it is freezing cold in there and could probably do with a heater, and some hooks would be useful too as there is only one towel holder.
The bedroom is on the upper level and is very spacious and has a queen bed, which is fairly comfortable but a little too soft and springy for my liking as I personally prefer a firmer mattress with good support. We were also provided with a comfortable foldaway mattress for our child. It would be good if they look into a sofa bed instead though.
The room is well thought out and beautiful decorated, and has a sofa with lots of cushions, throw rugs, a guitar and bookcase full of novels, magazines and non-fiction books. There is also a small, charming balcony where you can sip your morning coffee or tea, whilst enjoying the view and watching the birds.
What we loved:
- The fireplace
- Complimentary loaf of freshly baked bread, butter, little packets of honey, marmalade and Vegemite, and a small carton of fresh milk
- Clean and cosy
- Charli the friendly Kelpie
- Convenient location close to Denmark town, about 10 minutes away

Stunningly delightful surprise The Yurt is magnificent surrounded by nature tall karri trees the sounds of the birds is exquisite ~ romantic getaway for a honeymoon destination did not disappoint .... Highly recommend .. can not wait to explore the region

Easy to book and communication with owners was exceptional very friendly prompt service

Can't wait to take a soak in the bath and look out at nature
