Swan Valley Heights Merino Manor

Swan Valley Heights sits up on the Scarp with unlimited views over the entire city of Perth. There are plenty of kangaroos to watch all day long as well as sheep grazing the property. Watch magnificent sunsets or observe storms as they slowly make their way across the beautiful city of Perth or just sit on the front verandah and watch the planes as they come and go in the distance. We are situated on ten peaceful acres with a winter creek running through the block, walkways run from here up through the bush land with wildflowers abundant in season. The owner, under the direction of George Lulfitz, West Australian Guru of native plants, is developing the extensive garden surrounding the accommodation making use of our beautiful West Australian native plants. The home is furnished with pictures and other items that clearly reflect the owners New Zealand and Australian heritage and his love of this great country especially all things of nature and the outback.

Family stay for wedding close by

This property is a great size with plenty of open space. 2 Queen bedrooms with large wardrobes. 3rd bedroom has 4 single beds.Large pool area and great views out to the city and surrounds. Great large verandah area to just relax and watch the amazing WA sunsets. Host was great.Other guests on first night of our stay were very noisy until after midnight. House was tidy but could do with a deep clean to bring it back up to scratch. Fresh eggs from the resident chicken coup and a great veggie and fruit garden. Thanks Paul and Bob for sharing your produce.

Fantastic, relaxing and earthy

Had a wonderful time at the property. From the moment we drove up the driveway and admired the beautiful view and tranquility. Thé property had a huge verandah with a fabulous view and felt very relaxing! We were greeted by the very friendly chickens also! The host was very personable and his staff also. Definitely recommend a getaway there. With a group or just a few… it was fabulous.

Great location. Outstanding views.

This was our second time at the property. It's such a great spot to completely relax. Close to things to see and do in the Swan Valley, but far enough away to feel like you're "away from it all".

Another fab stay

This is our second time staying at this property and as usual we loved it. Walking distance to a microbrewery, winery and tavern, chickens and egg collecting each day for the kids, a pool (although was a bit cool for a proper swim this time), fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds - can't fault it. Thanks again Paul!
