About this property

Swan Valley Heights Merino Manor

Swan Valley Heights sits up on the Scarp with unlimited views over the entire city of Perth. There are plenty of kangaroos to watch all day long as well as sheep grazing the property. Watch magnificent sunsets or observe storms as they slowly make their way across the beautiful city of Perth or just sit on the front verandah and watch the planes as they come and go in the distance. We are situated on ten peaceful acres with a winter creek running through the block, walkways run from here up through the bush land with wildflowers abundant in season. The owner, under the direction of George Lulfitz, West Australian Guru of native plants, is developing the extensive garden surrounding the accommodation making use of our beautiful West Australian native plants. The home is furnished with pictures and other items that clearly reflect the owners New Zealand and Australian heritage and his love of this great country especially all things of nature and the outback.

Perfect stay
Perfect spot for two families with young toddlers. The house and property felt safe and secure. Gorgeous views over the valley, and some great family-friendly breweries / wineries near by. Host was very friendly and welcoming.

Great location
The property was in a great location. But was very disappointed at the property not very clean. Lots of cobwebs bathrooms and toilets were not clean. Kitchen pots and pans we could not use as stuck on previous food still on them, the oven was filthy. Cupboards all needed wiping down and cleaning inside.

Another fab stay
This is our second time staying at this property and as usual we loved it. Walking distance to a microbrewery, winery and tavern, chickens and egg collecting each day for the kids, a pool (although was a bit cool for a proper swim this time), fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds - can't fault it. Thanks again Paul!

Great location. Outstanding views.
This was our second time at the property. It's such a great spot to completely relax. Close to things to see and do in the Swan Valley, but far enough away to feel like you're "away from it all".

Beware! Property not as advertised
There was no one there to greet us when we arrived but there was washing hanging on the line. Paul appeared 5 minutes later for a chat & said he would remove his washing. Upon inspection of the property we found the lounge area was furnished with an old sofa with burst cushions & breakfast bench chairs that were ripped & unfit to sit on. The property is not furnished as advertised on the website. It has dated & worn out furnishings. I have photographs of the furnishings but cannot upload them as this website does not have the facilty to do so. The clincher came when Paul came back & advised one of our party that we should fill up the kettle as he would be turning off the water. We all agreed the property was not suitable for our getaway break & left. I contacted Paul & informed him we would not been staying at the propertyfor the 3 nights that we had booked & asked him to arrange a refund of the cleaning fees as we did not use the property & there would be no cleaning required. I am still waiting for his response 5 days later.

Paul and co (the owner) was amazing and very accommodating to our booking. Property was just beautiful and the view was unbelievable, pictures do not do it justice. It feels like you are down south. Cannot recommend it enough and will be back!

Nice stay but false advertising
The overall stay was lovely , clean and great location. However it does say on the add that two small dogs are allowed up to 10kg. So I bring my dog and then owner pops in unannounced telling me that I need to get rid of my dog now he does not allow dogs here . I understand if you don’t, but you should honour what you have on your add whether you are aware of it or not . False advertisement is illegal.

FOOTROT FLATS … ON A HILL!
My friends and I loved every minute of our stay at Merino Manor. The house was lovey - very clean and well appointed – and Paul was an excellent host, who even lit a campfire for us! We loved the references to Footrot Flats and the winding drive up to the house made us feel like we were in New Zealand. It was so peaceful, we felt like we were really far away in the country but we were only a few minutes’ drive from food and wine in the Swan Valley and a walk at Bells Rapids. The view west over to the city was amazing, with patches of fog in the morning and lots of twinkling lights at night. And the chickens obliged us with some eggs for breakfast!

A little piece of heaven
Our hosts were lovely and gave us a thorough explanation of the property. Our granddaughter loved getting up close to the chickens throughout our stay. The view from the property is stunning, the location was perfect and our entire stay was very relaxing. The home is clean and well maintained. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed and were enjoying the peace and quiet so much we were reluctant to leave. We highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be back if we have future events in the area. Thanks for a wonderful break.
