Four of our bedrooms have hotel grade king size beds that can be split into 8 king singles to suit guests configuration requirements. Multiple bathrooms all offer designer quality fittings and those with baths have garden or valley views.
Situated on 10 acres of farm land and orchards, you will be entertained by our resident guinea fowl ( the girls) or relax watching our lawn mowing sheep. In season you are welcome to help yourself to our “fruit bowl” orchard or enjoy our ever expanding garden or drinks by the dam.

A group of us (7 people) booked the Valley house in Bridgetown for a golfing weekend.
We booked only 2 nights - I wished we had booked for 3!
We had an excellent time in the house.
So much room. A very large dining table and the sofa lounge is extremely spacious.
We had the fire going in the slow combustable both nights - which kept us extremely warm.
The kitchen has everything that you would need. A great stove and oven to cook up a feast.
The fridge is also very big and fitted all our food and drinks.
The main bedroom and ensuite has views of the valley.
The other four bedrooms are very roomy with either king beds or two single beds. The forth bedroom is more of a study with a sofa bed, which is the smallest of the rooms.
The beds are all extremely comfortable.
There are three bathrooms, one being the ensuite in the main bedroom and the other two bathrooms servicing the four bedrooms.
There is a large deck off the lounge/dining room and pool to the side of the house - but as it was winter we didn’t use either.
The gardens are lovely and plenty of land to walk around.
I look forward to booking again next year for our golf weekend.
All I would do to improve the property is some large signage of the house number on the street and a very large number on the fence post/gate as one of our house members arrived in the dark and couldn’t see the entry to the driveway.

What a view! So good we spent most of our time lounging about on the ridiculously comfy lounge by the fire admiring the gorgeous view. Reading, red wine, exploring the property and baking up a storm in the amazing kitchen was a great week of school holidays for the two families. Literally everything you need is here and, when we did venture, into town, it was well worth a wander too!

Recently renovated this house was perfect for our group of 10 adults. Beautifully situated overlooking a valley a few km out of town it was the perfect winter getaway. The fire and air-conditioning made it very cosy and the house was very well equipped for a large group. The beds were comfy and having 3 bathrooms was convenient. It would be a lovely location in spring too.

Clean and comfortable and only a few minutes drive from the heart of Bridgetown, this home is well fitted out with everything you need for a relaxing break. As a family of eight (two married couples, two single ladies, and two teenagers) there were sufficient bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen was very well appointed and it was entertaining to watch the antics of the resident sheep in the orchard from the deck each day. All in all a wonderful break and would happily stay there again.

Very impressed with the accomodation, had everything we needed as a family of 5. Great communication with owners. Great quality, comfy beds and lounge area. The only suggestion I would make would be to have some sort of shade over the deck/pool area (we were there on a 37 degree day though!).
would definately recommend others to stay and will be back to stay again.
Thankyou

The house was lovely, in fact was well stocked as well,we should have been more clearer when we said there was 8 adults as two of the party were not couples so we had to improvise with the bedding, but worked out well
The bbq was quite dirty and took a lot of cleaning
The yard area was very overgrown and a little intimidating to try and get to the dams
We were not quite sure with the sheep as the gate was open when we arrived so we shut it as per Johns instructions, however the sheep can get under the gate and could not get back so we reopened the gate
Overall though it was a wonderful place
There were a lot of paper wasps all around us on the verandah which was a little nervy for some

This proved to be a most appropriate location for a winter Break in Fridgetown with friends. All enjoyed the house and the fitting, Bathrooms, Hot water, kitchen and the TV as there was a lot of sport on over the weekend!

This is an excellent property with outstanding views and a beautiful private location close to town. Our only criticism is it being advertised as 5 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. This was something we were specifically required due to our numbers. However, the 5th room was tiny and the sofa bed was not comfortable for a couple. There were only three bathrooms, with an outdoor shower (no good in winter) and extra toilets. Also, there we could not access the wifi due to a password change (although that wasn't a huge problem, it was a little annoying). This all said we would certainly stay again but perhaps not with the two teens so that the adults could have all the good rooms!

Our group was made up of 4 x Adults, 4 Teens and 2 School Age Children.
The house is very spacious and we fitted in with ease.
There was 4 x "King" Bed Rooms and one separate bedroom with a double pull out.
The Kitchen was huge and island bench perfect.
The 3 x Bathrooms were very well appointed with a modern fitout, obviously completed recently.
There was 4 x toilets.
The new swimming pool received a workout from all the grand kids, who enjoyed cooling down.
The gardens and orchard were magnificent and some of the fruit was ready to pick.
The sheep were inquisitive until they worked out we were strangers.
All in all, this is a perfect, high end holiday home and I would recommend it to anyone.
The over all fitout is first class and obviously expensive.
Communication with John was easy and nothing was too hard.

Excellent Spot! Great size house for 8 to 10 people with everything you would need. Located close to town and good launching point for attractions in the area. Mainly though, great place to relax!

As a family group of 3 adult couples this house was amazing, from the beautiful decor to the comfortable furnishings, the outstandingly equipped kitchen to the many games, the comfy beds to the beautifully appointed bathrooms, the natural surroundings and the wildlife everything was absolutely perfect.
The owner, John’s communications at all times have been prompt and polite.
And as for my morning knock on the window (the local friendly kookaburra) he was a most welcome visitor.
Thanks hopefully we’ll have the pleasure of returning again.

As we arrived at the property, the views were just absolutely breathtaking. The accommodation could be likened to a 5 star hotel, will all amenities available to support our stay, along with a well stocked pantry with all the basics.
John was the perfect host, providing useful info and also being extremely attentive to any questions that we had.
We were 3 families staying at the accommodation given an event we were attending on the weekend. The house was spacious, well appointed and was well stocked with everything you need to enjoy a home from home weekend break. Plenty of seating and space for entertaining.
There was something for both adults and children and the fire pit was a big hit for the kids making smorgs. The views from the bedroom windows and huge balcony were amazing.
Absolutely no doubt that we would be keen to return to this property.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us John.

We had such a fabulous time.
From the moment we drove to the gate, the property met all our expectations. Beautifully renovated, the house has absolutely everything for you to feel at home.
The owner John, was very helpful with queries we had and very prompt at replying.
A truly lovely 4 bedroom home with an extra little room with lounge, along with the 3 bathrooms and 4 toilets. The view from the master bedroom and balcony was gorgeous to wake up to every morning.
Fabulous property for a large family or a group of up to 10.
The walk along the train track and Blackwood River into town was a highlight. Highly recommend this property.

We had a lovely weekend in John’s beautiful house. Everything has been thought about. The rooms are spacious and the house has all you need. Very well thought out. Lovely touch that the fire was ready to light when you arrived, just needed a match! View off the veranda was wonderful. House easy to find and close to town, just what you need for a relaxing break down south!

Exceptional
We absolutely loved our stay. The house is modern, clean and beautiful. 100% would recommend and stay again. A place that says 'sleeps 10' and there is actually 10 dining chairs and enough room for 10 people to sit on the couch! RC aircon and wood fire heater. Abundance of plates, cutlery, serving platters etc. Stove top and oven big enough to entertain. Beds really comfy, RC aircon in most rooms. MB away from everything and can be shut off. You won't be disappointed. Only down side is you have to take your rubbish away with you but plan ahead it really isn't that big of a deal.

Mum’s weekend away & 40th.
We had the best time at this property.
The house was very modern & equipped with everything you could possibly need. The setting was just beautiful & the weather happened to be perfect for the three days we were there. We loved being able to go on bush walks, just taking in the views from the balcony or just sitting in front of the fireplace and chatting. The photos really don’t do it this place justice, I loved everything about it and hope I can come back again in the future. Thanks John for a great stay!!
