We had an amazing stay at the Lily for a great weekend of hiking Bluff Knoll and relaxation. ||The property itself has the most insanely stunning views, the working Windmill, the Dakota and the Stirling range in the background behind rolling fields of wheat all add up to something so special and the sunsets both nights were absolutely mind-blowing. ||We had a 2 night stay in the Dakota (DC3) which was just great. So unique and really well converted into a tiny-house style BnB. Everything you could need is in there and the breakfast basket was well worth it. We were there on a particularly hot weekend, however the aircon in the Dakota kept up well to keep us comfortable. ||Perfect as a base-camp for a hike at Bluff Knoll (15 minutes down the road). ||The owners Hennie and Pleun were both fantastic and attentive to any needs we had. They set a really great vibe right from the get-go as you go into their really unique reception. ||Couple things to note: |If you are particularly tall (6ft +) you may struggle a little in the Dakota. There is plenty of head-room except for the cockpit/bathroom and the kitchenette. |The beds and benchtops are all level, but the floor ramps up to the nose of the plane. It can be a little unsettling at first but you get used to it. |Bring some bacon to go with your brekkie basket and you will have a great bacon and egg meal on their home-made spelt bread. ||Thank you so much guys.

   Read moreBeautiful place, great stay if you want to have some real relaxing, quiet and peaceful time. We stay at the dutch cottage, it's a nice big Holland house with 1 bed room on the downstairs and large bed room on the attic. Really nice and beautiful house, with beautiful set up.
Because it's far from supermarket, you will need to bring your own food (meat, vegetables, egg, bread, snacks, etc), the kitchen has stove, oven, microwive, all the kitchen equipment that you need for cooking, there's also spices and cooking oil provided. There's also 2 fridge, 1 small fridge in the kitchen and 1 big fridge at the back, so don't worry if you're coming to stay with big loads of groceries.
We went there this School Holiday on December (summer) but the weather is really nice and bit windy outside, I'll suggest you to bring some warm jacket just in case it's getting cold.
I bring my work with me during the stay, which I found myself being so productive, finishing lots of my work that I normally can't really finished that much at home (I work from home btw). I think that's because the relaxing ambience that give me this energy.
Thank you Mr. Pleun and Mrs. Hennie, your place and all the attention to details...
   Read moreWhat a wonderful experience sleeping for 2 nights in a real Dakota DC-3 plane. Very unique indeed. Waking up to see the Stirling Ranges was magical. |If I could give one advice don't go in summer and don't be over size 16. Door frames are tiny. Both myself and my husband had to go sideways in the doors. Its also a good workout on your gluts and buttocks as the beds are on a lovely slope about a gradient 8 on a treadmill. I have calves like an Iron man.|It does come with a great air con but its facing the plane door and does not cool the bedroom or the bathroom at all. Was the hotest Sept day in 11 years so being 33 degrees in a tin can was very uncomfortable. Even a fan over head would have been great. Bathroom for most of the day was like a sauna. Need to get rid of the skylight. Was like a sun ray lamp. |Breakfast was brought over every evening and was just lovely. Beautiful made bread, eggs. Lovely orange juice which I'm still trying to find here in Perth and also the yogurts was best I've ever tasted. |We did love our stay and won't forget it ever. We just need to lose weight and...
