We had two nights staying at Thorn's Mountain Retreat. Mike and his Dad Peter were warm, welcoming, friendly hosts with a wealth of local knowledge. The cottage that we stayed in was comfortable with spectacular views over the Stirling Ranges. The walks from the farm into the Porongurup National Park were well worth doing revealing some hidden natural wonders. The location is central to many wonderful places to visit so use the cottage as a base and go out exploring. We sampled some of the superb wines from Mike's cellar and bought some home with us as well. The birdlife was fantastic too with a variety of species coming into the birdbath for a drink, including the spectacular Red-Winged Fairy Wren. I wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely return soon.
