Fantastic, relaxing and earthy
Had a wonderful time at the property. From the moment we drove up the driveway and admired the beautiful view and tranquility. Thé property had a huge verandah with a fabulous view and felt very relaxing! We were greeted by the very friendly chickens also! The host was very personable and his staff also. Definitely recommend a getaway there. With a group or just a few… it was fabulous.
Liked the location and country setting and Bob was very friendly and engaging. Beautiful place to stay.

Great location
The property was in a great location. But was very disappointed at the property not very clean. Lots of cobwebs bathrooms and toilets were not clean. Kitchen pots and pans we could not use as stuck on previous food still on them, the oven was filthy. Cupboards all needed wiping down and cleaning inside.
Peaceful and quiet surroundings with a superb view of Perth city. Everything described is accurate and Paul is a friendly host.

Another fab stay
This is our second time staying at this property and as usual we loved it. Walking distance to a microbrewery, winery and tavern, chickens and egg collecting each day for the kids, a pool (although was a bit cool for a proper swim this time), fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds - can't fault it. Thanks again Paul!

Delightful
A truly delightful property matched by a truly delightful host,Paul. The views were fantastic and photos did not do them justice. The only downside is that I wish that Perth was closer to Newcastle and we could avoid an 19 hour flight. Thankyou Paul for giving us a wonderful 10 days

This was our second time at the property. It's such a great spot to completely relax. Close to things to see and do in the Swan Valley, but far enough away to feel like you're "away from it all".

Beware! Property not as advertised
There was no one there to greet us when we arrived but there was washing hanging on the line. Paul appeared 5 minutes later for a chat & said he would remove his washing. Upon inspection of the property we found the lounge area was furnished with an old sofa with burst cushions & breakfast bench chairs that were ripped & unfit to sit on. The property is not furnished as advertised on the website. It has dated & worn out furnishings. I have photographs of the furnishings but cannot upload them as this website does not have the facilty to do so. The clincher came when Paul came back & advised one of our party that we should fill up the kettle as he would be turning off the water. We all agreed the property was not suitable for our getaway break & left. I contacted Paul & informed him we would not been staying at the propertyfor the 3 nights that we had booked & asked him to arrange a refund of the cleaning fees as we did not use the property & there would be no cleaning required. I am still waiting for his response 5 days later.
