Thanks so much for a lovely stay. I adore your animals, especially Lucky and Wilbur! I loved feeding the ponies and trying to retrieve Norbie’s net! Overall, the thing I love most about Avoca is the charming and welcoming atmosphere! Thanks for being so kind and friendly. See you next year!
I love everything about Avoca Farm. Next year I hope we will see the donkey…

Thank you so very much for such a wonderful holiday! Your house, the property and surrounding environment are absolutely beautiful. You really have thought of everything to make peoples’ stay as comfortable and stress free as possible. Your animals are wonderful and your chickens’ fresh eggs even inspired our children to eat hard boiled eggs for the first time – and they loved them!

Thank you Jenny and Richard for a fantastic stay. It exceeded my expectations by miles! So peaceful, yet within easy reach of plenty of things to do. The Chalet is like a home from home, with wonderful personal touches throughout. There has been much thought put into the equipment provided – there was nothing more we could have wanted or needed.

This place is awesome!! We wake up and take the scraps to the chooks and gather the eggs; the guinea pigs get a grassy treat and Lucky and Wilbur some carrots. The kids think it’s great! You then spend the day at the beach or winery hopping to return to the quiet farm again in the afternoon. We have had the most fantastic time and I’m sure will return.

Loved the place. Loved the area. Thanks SO much for making us all feel welcome. You are wonderful hosts. We came to walk parts of the Bibbulmun Track – South Tennesse to Eden Road 19km; Shelley Beach to Cosy Corner – 6km; Mt Halliwell to Denmark – 10km; Sand Patch Road to Hidden Valley and Return – 9km. Thoroughly enjoyed the walks. We enjoyed relaxing on the balcony, watching the birds (many types). Fed the horses, looked at the guinea pigs and fed the chooks. All to short but hopefully will be back one day.

We had stayed in many places before this one but had never had such a beautiful and memorable experience. A big thank you Richard and Jenny for this wonderful place. It’s been the first time that any chalet has felt like home. There was everything that we could have asked for. Our kids had an excellent time with your farm animals and now are heading back to Perth with all our lovely memories.

 What a great place, clean, tidy and quiet. Salmon are running and we all caught several. One member was able to catch a ‘Colin’ of salmon – what a man! Thanks from all.

Three years away and thousands of miles to travel from Northumberland – but – we had to come back to the most restful chalet we know and two of the nicest people who we thank for their kindness.

Many thanks for such an enjoyable stay. It was a great retreat while the rain and wind continued for several days outside. We loved all your homely touches! The boys (our dogs) enjoyed the freedom of a fenced yard for a few days. Loved the fire – most appreciated upon arrival. Out batteries are charged and we are off to experience some more of Australia and this great state of W.A. Thanks

We have so much enjoyed our time here in this characterful old house. Lovely to return to this part of WA that we both love so much. All the animals were a huge hit with the children. We will miss feeding the chickens, guinea pigs and of course Lucky and Wilbur. Hope to be back. Thank you.

 What a hidden treasure you have here! We are torn between telling everyone we know how wonderful it is and that they should come, and keeping it to ourselves so that only we can know of and stay at this magical place. Beautifully appointed accommodation with exceptionally high standards. So very family friendly. Our daughters want to stay with the guinea pigs forever! Thank you so much. PS we will be back and we will be telling everybody about Avoca (maybe..)

Excellent! Thanks for the great accommodation! A highlight of our holiday so far.
Thanks Jenny, thanks Richard for making such a lovely Chalet! We had a wonderful time here and mostly enjoyed Richard’s farm tour and your pets. You are very kind and friendly. Ah! And also we enjoyed the fresh eggs. We’d like to stay here forever! But…..! We are going to Sri Lanka this Saturday so we will definitely come back here. Especiallty me (Kasuni). Before I die I will come back- not to Perth but to Albany!
Marietta : My bed was very comfortable, so much she only got up at lunchtime! Kitchen is perfectly equipped.
Another great holiday at Avoca. Thank you Jenny and Richard for a wonderful retreat where we can recharge our batteries for a few more months. 
Thanks so much for this wonderful chalet. We all had a truly peaceful and wonderful holiday. We enjoyed the calm, clear and clean beaches and good foods we were able to cook in your well equipped kitchen. We did not have much chance to miss home and Thai foods.. We will find some spare time to revisit your Avoca chalet and of course will tell friends who would like to experience Australian western hospitality like we do. Thanks once again dear Richard and Jenny.. 
It was a wonderful stay for all of us! The kids had lots of fun with Lucky and Wilbur! The house was wonderful and cosy. Beautiful scenery and delightful farm animals. Such a well kept house with everything we needed. Really felt like home. Thank you Richard and Jenny for such a warm welcome. We would definitely share our stay at Avoca with our friends.
