Black George House Country Retreat was a perfect setting for a getaway with our two young families. The accommodation was spacious, clean and all inclusive. We found the large room sizes and ensuite bathrooms to be a bonus, especially with our portacots and children on different bath time schedules. The communal lounge/kitchen/dining was a practical and homely setup for the kids, and it felt very comfortable for the adults to retire in this space with a glass of local wine in hand, a pool cue in the other and a board game at the ready, after a busy day of sightseeing. The forest setting of the property is magic...nothing quite like walking out onto the deck of a morning and being surrounded by the peace, tranquility and beauty of nature. The adults took turns at heading out for runs along Black George Rd and enjoyed the country scenery and fresh forest air. The kids enjoyed running about the grassy fields and rumbling their scooters along the deck, under the careful watch of Shadow the resident dog.
The property is just outside of Manjimup however this suited us fine being in with the kids of an evening, but easily managing day trips within Manjimup, and further afield to Bridgetown and Balingup during our stay.
The only slight negative to report was a dispute with the owners over the length of our booking and payment, which caused a bit of upset for the family accompanying us on holiday. However, the issue was swiftly resolved with Gordon, and Andrea even baked us all an apple pie in apology! A lovely gesture.
In short, we would certainly recommend Black George Country Retreat and especially for those with a little family or a few couples as the space is certainly even better enjoyed, shared
