We stayed here with our dogs( and our adult children some of the time)for 7 weeks. In that time we felt part of the community and right at home here. Lyn was great and very obliging which was much appreciated by us all. We loved exercising our dogs at the local oval, going to the local hairdressers, grabbing a coffee at the cafe and shopping at the local IGA at the Lynwood Shopping Centre. Walking along the Canning River and surrounds as well as some retail therapy at the Westfield Carousel was appreciated by all of us. Of course we ventured beyond Ferndale including trips to Freemantle, South Perth, Nedlands, Cottesloe Beach, Mt Hawthorn , Victoria Park, North Perth, Optus Oval, the Concert Hall, His Majesty's, Crown Theatre and visiting family in Joondalup and Wanneroo - thank goodness for the freeways! The beds in the home were comfortable and cosy- I LOVED the electric blanket , the garden and having a luxurious soak in the outdoor bath. What a treat! We would highly recommend Ferndale Cottage.
