ACCOMMODATION CARMEL WA

Nestled in the picturesque Carmel Valley, just 25 minutes from Perth, Fawkes House offers a peaceful and relaxing retreat. This heritage listed Federation home and garden, surrounded by orchards and vineyards, is the perfect setting for a romantic weekend, mid-week break or as a base from which to explore Perth and its many attractions. Relax in a well appointed self-contained cottage, comprising a luxurious bedroom, lounge and bathroom. Quality furnishings, polished jarrah floors and traditional decor ensure the perfect setting. Wander through the meandering paths of the sun-dappled spinney, surrounded by camellias, rare hellebores, narcissi and primroses or enjoy a game of croquet and boule on the lawn, originally the tennis court. Enjoy a beverage on the wide, sheltered verandas of the main house, or relax with a good book beneath rare flowering trees. Gourmet breakfasts can be served in the formal dining room of the main house, in your cottage, or within the gardens. Local produce, free range eggs, fruit and vegetables from the garden, and attention to detail ensure a delightful start to the day. Picnic hampers and evening meals are available by prior arrangement....
