This Airbnb is a peaceful rural retreat. It is minutes from Castle Rock and a great base from which to explore the Porongorups and surrounding sights and wineries. The accommodation is a new build and as such feels fresh, modern and is very clean. The kitchenette is small but well equipped. I was able to cook pasta, make bacon and eggs for breakfast and sandwiches for the day ahead. The sitting area is 'cosy' with room for two armchairs but there is a verandah outside with two more chairs to sit. We had some extra fold-ups in the car which we felt like we needed as a travelling party of 4. A travelling party of 2 would have more than enough space. A party of four might feel a little tight for space were they to plan to hang out on the premises all day. But why would you, with so much to see and do! Martyn was friendly and had I availed of him more I think he would have been a great source of information on the surrounding areas. We're independent travellers and only had two nights and our itinerary already planned so required little help. We do plan to return to the Porongorups though as we quickly realised that two nights were not nearly long enough to explore the area properly. I had no telephone coverage (vodafone) in the area and as much as my teenagers moaned about that fact and the absence of internet coverage and a tv I was delighted to see everyone reading books morning and night when we were home. There are some easy walks along the local firebreaks for morning and evening strolling and of course the usual mix of kangaroos, Kookaburra's and other Australian wildlife to keep one entertained. The village is very small. There is the local Porongorup shop (very limited supply of essentials) and tea rooms (we didn't eat here). The staff are very friendly. My daughter and I popped out for a drive one evening and decided to get an ice-cream. When we arrived we realised that the shop was closed but the owner came out and opened it up again for us. We had a chat, got our ice-creams and stocked up on more of the home-made soaps (recommended). In terms of supplies it would be advisable to bring all that you need. You can stock up in Mount Barker which is only 15 mins drive away or Albany if you are arriving from down south. That said, Martyn provides the basics including fresh eggs, bread, milk, tea and coffee and condiments like jam and peanut butter. One last, and according to my teenage son, very important fact to mention are the fully-functioning hot showers! We would class ourselves as mainly budget travellers, a category that often, in our experience, can rule out high levels of cleanliness and / or satisfactory hot showers. Overall we were very satisfied with our experience and have no complaints. The property...
