You can imagine our surprise upon our arrival after 2pm to find a girl in our accommodation!! Did we get the wrong place? Wrong date? A mix up? She greeted us embarrassed and apologised profusely there had been a communication problem and would be finished cleaning in about ten minutes. Although this was uncomfortable to start with for everyone we appreciated her apologies and the situation was rectified quickly so not a big deal.
The Shack is a spacious place where a lot of thought had been put into it ensuring comfort and needs met. We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed not only the accommodation but their property and the surrounding area. Thanks to Evelyn’s little table of information we headed to the waterfall in Winnejup Reserve. It’s a three km walk each way through farms which seemed odd but checking with a land owner it was correct information. Walking through we saw the recent birth of a lamb, and a land owner bottle feeding a lamb named My Belle who came bounding up to us thinking we were feeding her and some curious cows. The waterfall is more rapids of what we saw but still impressive and worth the walk. Nightfall was catching us so we were unable to stay long.
Evelyn daily topped up our fire with kindling for an easy fire start we enjoyed every evening. Very cold in October getting down to 2.7 degrees at night but lovely days so we drove to Bridgetown just twenty minutes or experienced the Blackwood river walks. Don’t worry the two radiator heaters inside warmed The Shack beautifully then we snuggled into the lovely doona on the bed which kept the cold well at bay.
We are now returning home refreshed thanks to Evelyn, (and her Shack) Diesel, Bonnie and goats. Definitely recommended. Thank you Evelyn 😃
