A Wonderful Family Getaway: Lilly Pilly Cottage Farm Stay @ Gidgegannup, Western Australia

By Suvenchow
Nestled in a secluded farmland among towering Jarrah trees, the Lilly Pilly Cottage embodies the spirit of an ultimate Australian Bushland experience. A Wonderful Family Getaway: Lilly Pilly Cottage Farm Stay @ Gidgegannup, Western AustraliaA Wonderful Family Getaway: Lilly Pilly Cottage Farm Stay @ Gidgegannup, Western Australia
This homely little cottage has three comfortable cozy bedrooms that sleeps eight. Since there were only five of us (one being a toddler), we had plenty of extra space to, well, waste. It's a pity that in the midst of all the excitement, I actually forgot to take pictures of the rooms, but I did manage to take one of the lounge, which is equipped with a fireplace! How awesome is that?

Within the hundred-acre land, only thirty-five acre is utilised as a farm, an organic vineyard and two cottages; the rest of the sixty-five acres are kept in its natural form of Australian bushland. In the farm you will find a flock of sheep, some horses, cows, alpacas, and chickens. Patrons are encouraged to join in during feeding time every morning and evening. That particular activity quickly became Little Miss NAPB's favorite time at the farm getaway.

Overall we had an awesome and memorable experience at the cottage, and would absolutely love to return again. But perhaps not till sometime later in the future. It's not exactly cheap at roughly AUD$550 for a two night stay, but I guess if the accommodation was shared between two to three families, it would definitely be worth it. Of course, if you were to stay for a week, the price per night would be much cheaper as well.
