The farm is interesting to walk around and well maintained. Close to Mount Barker meant that getting any supplies was easy.

This was such a lovely place to stay on our WA trip. The cottage was really cozy and everything was really well thought out. Staying close to Porongurup national Park was fabulous, we went on a few hikes starting only 15 min drive from the cottages. Mount Barker was also a 10-15 minute drive from us which had a large IGA and a few nice cafes and restaurants. Highly recommend staying with Gary and Maria.

3 days in the Carnaby Cottage

My partner and I stayed at the Carnaby cottage for 3 wonderful days! The scenery was gorgeous and quiet, the fire kept the house warm and toasty and Gary was such a wonderful, helpful and kind host. We would recommend this beautiful place in Porongurup to others and would definitely stay again!

The perfect cottage to base ourselves for exploring the Porongurups and Stirling Ranges. A very comfortable stay with roaring fire, fresh breakfast food and everything needed for a relaxing getaway. Nestled on farmland with lovely views. Thank you Gary and Maria

A really nice place to stay.

We are avid birdwatchers and stayed here to be close to the Porongurups. The cabin was spacious with all the facilities we wanted. It has a great verandah with a grand view of the Porongurups. We had Spotted Scrubwrens, Red-winged Fairywrens hopping around the cabin with many other species in the trees at the back. We had a great time.

Perfect cosy cottage

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Carnaby Cottage and everything was just perfect! We really appreciated the extra detail provided by the owners including fresh eggs, homemade bread, brewed coffee, crackers in the biscuit tin and even homemade soaps. The sticks and wood provided in different sizes made it the easiest fire burner to start and made the cottage very cosy. Its such a beautiful area with so much to explore. We will be back!

A Relaxing and enjoyable stay

My wife and I had an excellent stay for 6 nights in Carnaby over the new year. It was so peaceful with no man made noises intruding, only the plentiful bird life and the views were wonderful too. Gary was very helpful when we had car issues and they are perfect hosts really. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. I recommend the Thai takeaway next door at weekends and Dukes vineyard on the other side for visits. Can’t wait to get back soon!

Wow!

Wow, this was our first stay and wont be our last, we loved not just the charm of cottage with the freshly baked bread, jams and that amazing butter. But the views, enjoying the location, the wildlife, walks and seeing the mountains from the front door. Come back to the cozy wood fire after the long hike up bluff knoll. Thank you for making our stay at manyat peak cottages one to remember.
