Peace in the Porongerups.
The instructions for finding the property were easy to follow. The property has an excellent view. It is well equipped to deal with the cold weather we experienced with electric blankets and air conditioning. The kitchen is well equipped and ingredients for a delicious breakfast were provided. Also in a good location to access the local walks and climbs. A really enjoyable stay.

Brilliant!
The property is a dream - backed right up against the national park, you can see Castle Rock Skywalk on the ridge line! Our boys, both under 10, loved exploring the farm, which has magnificent views all the way to the Albany coast line. Magic sunsets on offer every night from the expansive second storey balcony. Equally close to Mt Barker, Albany, and Bluff Knoll, we really appreciated how central the property was. We really didn’t need to bring anything other than clothes and food - bedding was really comfortable (electric blankets). Although asked to be careful with water usage, showers were always hot with great pressure - so good after hiking around all day! Jo and John put together a continental breakfast for us for the first morning, which was not expected - thank you. We ended up buying some produce before leaving, honey from their hives, garlic, Kalamata olives, chard, tomato sauce and apple cucumbers! Couldn’t fault our stay! Fantastic!

Jilba Cottage review
This house was a simple, clean and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay because of the nice views and the fresh farm food was a nice addition. The one thing we felt was missing was a Smart TV. There aren’t any shops nearby, but the location is very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful property
The cottage is in a lovely location with great views and with easy access (by car) to a number of National Parks, walks and scenery. The hosts were fabulous and available if needed. The cottage is very well equipped to do your own catering and the first morning complimentary breakfast was huge. All together it was a fantastic three night stay.

Had a wonderful few days in the Porongurups and the surrounding area, using Jilba Cottage as a base.
The cottage was very well supplied, warm, cosy and with a terrific view south. Jo and John were wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises.

Beautiful views!
The property was clean and comfortable. Good quality linen. Loved having the adequate kitchen to cook our own meals. It got very cold even in April but the beds were cozy. Location to the Mountains was breathtaking and close proximity to walk trails.

Perfect location
The peaceful location surrounded by nature was perfect as well as being close to walks in the Porongorup and an easy drive to The coast and Albany. Jo left us to ourselves in the cottage which was perfect for us with everything you could want and we really appreciated the first morning breakfast provisions left in the fridge for us. I am sure we will be back again in the future.
