What a lovely and beautifully renovated cottage. The views over the orchards are gorgeous. The cottage had all the amenities we needed - and the big bath was fabulous too. There's so much to explore around the area. We did a night tour at the Perth Observatory and got to see some planets in telescopes, we also visited some local wineries which ranged from boutique local places that only do pinot noir (the 2016 vintage is incredible), to bigger places that did a range from champagne through the whites, rose, reds and even local gin! Our advice would be to book lunch ahead of time as everywhere was booked out when we tried to do walk ins. Masonmill was also a lot of fun, there's lots of food options there - and we had fun playing mini golf and having high tea together. The Bickley Valley is a really gorgeous get away spot with so much to see and do - I'd especially recommend it for Perth locals who want to do something new and not have far to drive.
