Peace and tranquillity in the Porongurups. Excellent stay in Hillside Cottage with all the amenities you need. Peter and his son Michael couldn’t have been nicer hosts and their knowledge of the area and its history is extensive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

11/04/2019 What a gorgeous place with spectacular views of the Stirling Ranges to base ourselves while we explored the Porongurup region of WA. The cottage (Mountain View) was very cosy and Mike had the fire ready for us upon our return from an afternoon hike on our first day. Mike's passion and knowledge for the region was clear in his detailed guides provided in the cottage but we were also lucky enough to hear many stories first hand from Mike while we were there. The cottage's location makes it an ideal base for not only the Bluff Knoll climb but only a 5 min drive from the iconic Castle Rock and across the road from a delightful winery.
Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and having the extra bathroom was handy as there were 3 of us. We closed out one evening up the top of the property with a special sunset view over the vineyards and woke up to the misty mountain views from our verandah. Could not recommend a stay here more, not only for the accommodation but for such a wonderful guide that comes with it! Only regret is we did not have time to stay longer. Lauren Phelan
30/05/2020 - We loved our stay in Pioneer cottage! Peter and Mike are great hosts, the location is fantastic, and the cottage was so comfy with everything we needed. There are beautiful bushwalks straight from the property, with stunning panoramic views.

03/08/2019 Peter and Michael's place is brilliant and exactly as described by others and on their website. My wife and I stayed there for 6 nights in the Hillside Cottage and were joined for 3 nights by our daughter, husband and grandson for 3 nights, with them staying in the Pioneer Cottage. Both cottages are excellent, the property location perfect and the information about the area supplied by the Thorns was fabulous. Highly recommended!!
