Bliss on the Blackwood

It is a wonderful location and very comfortable gleaming in the tent on the bank of the river. We enjoyed a delightful evening in the company of Sony and Matthew. Sony’s food was superb and excellent value. We were only staying one night but it would have been lovely to spend some more time enjoying the peace and tranquility as well as the company of the hosts.

Minimoon recharge

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing little getaway for our minimoon to recharge after our wedding and end of a busy year whilst we wait for WA boarders to re-open and this was just perfect! Sony and Mathew are such wonderful hosts, they are incredibly generous, welcoming and Sony's cooking is beyond amazing! We shared a delightful NYE with Sony, Mathew and their son George and got to learn of their journey to Perth and how they came to be at their property and what they have developed on their land so far. They have such passion for their land and nature, it's very inspiring. The tent is located right on the waters edge and the afternoon breeze managed to keep it a lot cooler than we expected in the hot summer weather. The tent is very spacious and well equipped. We really enjoyed cooking our breakfast on the BBQ each morning on the deck and breathing in the fresh air whilst we took in all the sounds of the birds in the trees around us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again :)
