If you are after a get away maybe closer to Perth than the other popular destinations I strongly recommend this area and guest house. There is ample to do up in the hills for day trips either by foot, driving or riding. We have been up there a few times and it never fails to be enjoyable and relaxing. The Birdhouse was great with everything being super easy from check in to check out, great little place with wood fire to keep you warm, it’s situated right on the heritage trail so great walk or ride into John Forest National Park, we had basic amenities in the fridge upon arrival and some fresh bread for toast on the bench, house had everything you need in a cost cottage and great value for money, thanks for the stay J and K
