Perfect spot, amazing views!!! Had everything we needed and so peaceful. Loved being able to wander to the Thai restaurant on the next property one way and Duke’s winery the other side. Abundant wildlife with kangaroos hopping by our verandah and little blue wrens in the bush out front. Great hosts and fresh bread, ham and eggs a treat. Highly recommend.

Beautiful very rural location with lovely views, birds including a male fairy wren outside the kitchen window and a brief appearance by some huge roos. Very kindly left us eggs and bread and jam. Didn't have to light fire but it had been laid to do so - only place that has done this in 2 weeks in the South West. Phone reception patchy but that is pretty normal for rural Australia especially on Optus.

Magical Stay

We couldn't have been happier with the Manyat cottage we stayed in. The room was clean and warm, with fantastic views. The free range eggs, freshly baked bread and other complimentary extras were a lovely touch.

Relaxing stay

Close to good walks and a lovely place to come back to. Maleeyas Thai restaurant next door does delicious food. Watching weather pass over the porongorups and the big sky at night is so calming and meditative. We felt very welcome when we saw the delicious bread and eggs our host had supplied

Serenity

Peaceful & restful stay in Boobook Cottage. Loved sitting on the verandah with the view of the majestic Porongorups & enjoying watching the kangaroos, blue wrens & other birds. Clean & cosy cottage, comfy beds, warm shower & filtered drinking water with hosts providing lovely extra touches. Great location to explore the region. Would stay again.

Idyllic calm and comfort

This lovely accommodation is situated on a tranquil property by the beautiful Porongurup range. The cottage is comfortable, cosy, clean, and private. The amenities are suitable to have a relaxing, self-contained stay, including preparing all meals. The first-morning food provisions are a delightful touch. The hosts are amenable and welcoming. We highly recommend this accommodation for a peaceful stay in a rural setting.

Tranquility in the Porongorups

Gary and Maria’s beautiful little 2 bedroom cottage was the perfect place to escape the world and just enjoy nature. Stunning scenery and silence only broken by birdsong, this little hideaway in the heart of the Porongorups was just what we needed. A delicious breakfast was provided- homemade bread and jams, fresh eggs and ground coffee, which set us up nicely for a day of hiking. Then in the evening we returned to watch the kangaroos and put our feet up in front of the fire with a good book. Wonderful place!

Perfectly peaceful

A long driveway leads to the charming Boobook 2 bedroom, cleand, well-equipped cottage with hedging out the front and side to create privacy while sitting outside on the verandah. A view towards the rocky Porongorup range and expansive property with kangaroos, blue wrens, other birdlife and livestock make this place so inviting and peaceful. Great communication and a lovely welcome from Gary the property owner (who also provided the first morning's breakfast) was a bonus. This place is worth a 2nd stay for us if we visit the region again, thanks Gary and Maria :)
