A doorway next to Granite Skywalk

It was a lovely stay. The kids are amazed with night sky view and spotted the milky way. The place was neat, quite and comfortable. The kindly owner baked a delicious bread and made us feel so welcomed.a great place for an escape.

Charming cottage with fantastic views

We absolutely loved our stay at Manyat Peak Cottage! Upon arrival we were surprised with a loaf of delicious homemade bread, butter, jam, freshly ground coffee and amazing fresh eggs from the farm. What a welcome! The cottage was sparkling clean, and even the kindlings for the fire were arranged in the most perfect way. Garry is a really lovely host, giving us plenty of information. After having stayed in Porongurup several times, Manyat Peak Cottage is a real find, and we will certainly be back!

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Maria Edwards

Hi my name is Gary, my wife Maria and I fell in love with this property when we saw it in November 2019, we purchased it in 2020, our two cottages sit in the middle of our 125 acre farm, approximately 70 meters apart. They are set back from the road over 500 meters giving guests space and privacy. we have a small herd of Dexter cattle, keep and breed our own chickens and try to live from the land as much as possible in an organic way, although not certified.

Why they chose this property

The two cottages are set back from the road, and 180 meters from our property giving space and privacy. You are free to wander parts of the property (please keep gates shut, livestock roaming), beware some fences maybe electrified,gates are not. There are 3 dams on the property and must not be entered, children to be supervised at all times. If you want to meet our cows, we are happy to locate them for you. On your wanderings you are sure to bump into a roo or two. There are spectacular views of the Porongurup ranges from within your cottage (including Gibraltar rock and Manyat peak (the last peak)), from different vantage points on the property there are amazing views of the sterling ranges, only a 40 min drive away.
We back onto the Porongurup national park which is a hikers paradise.

What makes this property unique

There are many hikes and walks in the area, and a must to do is the Granite Skywalk a short drive along from Manyat peak cottages and the Porongurup national park. The area is abound with boutique and award winning wineries, the local produce is fresh and wholesome and can be sampled at many restaurants and wineries in the area.
The Sterling Range national park is home to the highest peak (bluff Knoll) in Western Australia and only a 40 min drive .
