We chose Mt Barker because of it's being central to all the things we wanted to do such as visiting Prongurup, Albany, Denmark and even Walpole. The place we stayed in at Mt Barker was very clean and Sheryl was a very tentative, hospitable and very gracious host. it is ideally located not too far from the town but very quiet and relaxing. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Sheryl's next time we visit the Great Southern.
