The place is beautiful. The rooms are stylishly decorated with lots of space for all your stuff. There are many windows that allows natural light in the day and blackouts for the night and if you want to sleep in. The bed & linen is very comfortable and I am picky about my beds when I am travelling. This bed scores a 5/5. I could hardly hear anything from outside once everything is buttoned up for the night so I could have a very restful night.
Our breakfast table was placed right outside our rooms with beautiful greenery views and crisp fresh air. It was cold, yet warm when the sun shone on us in the mornings. I did wish there was a covered common place to hang around when the cold wind got too much outside. The ice-box to keep the wine & cheese was a little troublesome to use and we would have preferred a minibar fridge instead. However, since we got a cold snap, leaving the white wine outside kept it at the perfect temperature!
The location was perfect for us to explore Swan Valley & Perth Hills. Everything is 20min drive away, short for a huge place like Australia. We especially loved being able to simply cross the brook in front of the house and hop on the heritage walking trail in the John Forrest National Park. The 1hr-ish walk brought us to the Tavern for a snack with the kangeroos and crazy food-snatching birds. Do bring sunscreen and a hat for the walk. The trail is pretty much unshaded.
Claire & Jeremy were super sweet and accomodating, especially touched that they took the trouble to creating healthy and delicious breakfasts for us that were eggless (I am egg-intolerant). Really appreciate it!
