Weekend Trip to Whicher Farm Campsite

We loved having the entire back paddock to ourselves. Felt so private and lovely! Will definitely be back! My dog absolutely loved running around like crazy.

Weekend Trip to Whicher Farm Campsite

A perfect spot for a quiet retreat. We loved how much open space we had and that it was only us there - the dogs had an absolute ball. Plenty of wildlife around making for a peaceful surround. Rebekah was lovely and very responsive. We will absolutely be back.

2 nights at Samson Brook BnB - The Long Yard

We stayed for 2 nights during the end of April. Pros: - The owner is nice - There were some animals including a couple of ponies that the owner let the kids walk around with. - Relatively close to town Cons: - The campsite is a rectangular paddock that was dirt and animal droppings. It had trees on the perimeter and on one side there was a little creek. The interior of the paddock was empty. - The paddock is situated next to a train line and a road crossing, which I'm guessing serves a nearby alumina refinery. Trains were going at all hours into the night and the road crossing was bright and loud which was hard to deal with in tents.

1 night at Paperbark Retreat

The Black Stump was a great place to stay. The paddock has quite a few spots to pitch a tent. There is a shipping container with tables and chairs that can be used as a make shift kitchen. Overall, our stay was relaxed and the host was lovely. It's close to a short bush walk at the lime kiln, and not too far away from the thrombolites. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Whicher Farm Campsite

Love this camp-site. It was so secluded and peaceful and the stars were really lovely. A little pricey but since they only take one camper then the price is more justified.

Weekend Trip to Something Different

What a wonderful stay! I booked Something Different for my 30th. There were 17 of us, some of us in swags. Everything was perfect. Kitchen very well stocked, so many games and activities to do and the dam was such a great place for a dip. Vivien checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed, which was lovely. Will definitely be back. My friends are already asking about booking it themselves!

Weekend Trip to Paperbark Retreat

Great spot which was clean with a nice private grassed area.

Weekend Trip to Something Different

Something Different was the perfect location for our group's weekend retreat. All the facilities we could need, and plenty of space inside and outside. The big barbecue made catering for our group a breeze. We enjoyed swimming in the dam and playing table tennis and board games. Our group was a bit bigger than the maximum listed number, but Vivien was happy for us to pitch a few tents outside. There's definitely enough space for a large group. The price is extremely good value for such a well equipped venue. I would absolutely recommend Something Different to anyone looking to host a getaway for a large group.

2 nights at Something Different

Absolutely loved our time at the Something Different shed. My friend and our collective three dogs (two border collies, one aussie shepherd puppy) had a blast kayaking on the dam, exploring the shed paddock, and playing with the resident kelpie pup Alfie. Shed is huge, beds are super comfortable, kitchen has everything you need to cook whatever you'd like - we've already booked to come back in winter!

Weekend Trip to Paperbark Retreat

Great hosts. Great place to relax. We will definitely be back.

1 night at Paperbark Retreat

Beautiful secluded spot with plenty of flat grassed area and trees, and a little gazebo and very accommodating hosts. ☺️ Nice walk out to the lake. My dog loved poking around the trails. An easy drive from Perth. Just bring some mossie repellant if you go in summer.

Weekend Trip to Paperbark Retreat

Magic spot for a short escape from Perth. Plenty of shade with drive through flat sites. Michael was a great host.

Weekend Trip to Something Different

Fantastic spot for camping with the option of using the beds makes it a really versatile place! Swimming in the lake was wonderful and secure for dogs was great. Highly recommend this place, can't wait to come back in winter and the fires going with a bottle of red wine!

3 nights at Jalbarragup Cabins

The cabin was rustic and the bed comfortable It was exactly what we needed a nice getaway. Mary was lovely and provided info on local dining establishments but also responded quickly and provided items that we forgot. We enjoyed the watching the chooks and other animals around the farm Thanks Mary for showing us around your property and the amazing work that has been done to the original homestead

4 nights at Something Different

This place was absolutely magical. The dam was clear and clean and even in January the area was green and lush. Vivien was so accommodating for our larger group and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The shed itself is large and spacious and well equipped with a kitchen, shower, multiple toilets, and any game you could possibly think of. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were well insulated. I can't recommend this property enough! Thank you Viven for an unforgettable weekend.
