We've had the privilege of living in many places both within Australia and around the world and feel we have found a little piece of paradise here at Ruse Estate. We live on 80 acres in the Margaret River region where we grow grapes and our property is absolutely stunning. With native bush, parkland, and extensive waterways including a creek, lake and cute dam with a carriage, jetty and small ampitheater, we just couldn't keep this place to ourselves. Our property is very unique and so picturesque. Ruse Estate is a fabulous place to relax and soak up all that is on offer at our place, whether that be enjoying the view from your terrace, watching the sun go down from the carriage on the dam, taking the kayaks out on the lake or walking around exploring our property. You can also enjoy what the wonderful Margaret River Region has to offer, although you may not want to leave your 'home away from home' once you've arrived and see what we have to offer. We look forward to meeting you and showing you our beautiful property! Regards Karen and Lawrie Tremaine
