We absolutely loved our stay at Pioneer Cottage. It is super cute, in a rustic and charming kind of way. It was cool enough during out stay to have the wood fire going, and it was a real treat to have it already lit and waiting for us when we arrived. There was also a lovely vase of flowers cut from the property to welcome us. Gorgeous! The Porongurups are amazing - we did lots of walks (the Granite Skywalk is an absolute must, while the Devil's Slide gave us some of the most amazing views we've ever seen). But highlights included just walking around Mike's very large property, and taking his suggested walks into the National Park next door to Hanging Rock and Picnic Rocks (very few people know about these, so we had these two to ourselves). Mike provides some very good information and hiking guides for avid walkers. Highly recommended. We only stayed three nights, could easily spend a week there with day trips to the Stirling Ranges and nearby Albany.
