A great opportunity for parents to come & relax and enjoy the bush tranquility. Do as much or as little as you like. Ideal for a family or a couple\'s retreat.

This secluded homely cottage tucked into tall timbers offers a fully equipped kitchen/dining. Three bedrooms plus a reading/play room off the main lounge room with games, puzzles and books. All linen and towels are provided, so all you need to bring is your food.

In the winter enjoy a cozy log fire (chopped wood provided) or toast some marshmallows on an outdoor camp-fire. Lilly Pilly Cottage is airconditioned for those hot summer days, then enjoy the balmy evenings outdoors and barbecue on the patio overlooking the Australian bush. The children can bring a torch and spot the possums, find a kangaroo or other nocturnals or just take a stroll in the bush. All this is on a quiet 100 acre property. You can also go for a short drive and canoe, swim, picnic or BBQ at beautiful Lake Leschenaultia or a picnic at Nobel Falls.

Find peace, tranquility and relaxation whilst you watch your family have fun and visit some of the most well kept secrets in the Perth Hills. Gidgegannup is situated between the Swan & Avon Valleys a pleasant 50 minute scenic drive from Perth for your West Australian country farm holiday.

Farm Activities

Lilly Pilly Cottage extends a warm welcome to children having activities which delight them, like the morning and evening feeding of the friendly farm animals. The farm environment allows opportunity for children to bond with the animals and interact with nature. Farm stay suits all ages and people.

In the morning watch Joel and Seth milk Heidi the goat or Betsie the cow (in season) and taste milk that is truly \'farm fresh\'. Betsey has just had her calf Clarabella born 31st March. Also, assist Amity in the feeding of Blue and Boof the ponies and our miniature Shetland Amy - a lovable, very huggable \'My Little Pony\' look alike, who loves to be brushed. Meet Baci our beautiful Palomino pony. Hand feed Inca and Cuzco the alpacas. Hand feed the chooks and ducks.

A pony ride (led) on Boof or Amy is also available on request to Dominique, at an extra cost.

You can also be a part of the grape harvest sometime in March. This is when our Shiraz grapes are hand-picked and crushed for the year\'s vintage. After the grapes are picked we celebrate the harvest by enjoying a smorgasbord of food and a taste of last year\'s vintage.
