JARRAGON BED AND BREAKFAST
Donnybrook is a great place to use as a base to explore some of the South-West. It’s only half an hour from Bunbury for shopping, Peppermint Grove Beach, Busselton’s jetty artistic Balingup, the lovely Ferguson Valley and Wellington Dam.
Donnybrook’s immediate vicinity is the home of a thriving fledgling wine industry, a mysterious connection between gold and cider, of course the fruit for which it is well known and the home of the Lady William Apple.
Spring is a wonderful time to visit Jarragon B&B as the wildflowers are everywhere. Carolyn enjoys photographing the wildflowers and native orchids in particular. If this is your interest Carolyn can help you find the best spots to explore.
What will you find at Jarragon B&B?
A warm welcome from Carolyn, your host, and some afternoon tea or coffee for those who'd like it. There are three spacious bedrooms, 2 queen size beds and one room with three single beds. Each bed has an electric blanket. Each bedroom has an alarm clock, fan and there is a heater in each room. TV is available.
The guest lounge room is a social place where you can chat, read or play a CD or board game. Alternatively the front porch may seduce you to eat or relax there in almost any weather as it is sheltered and a good place to check out what's going on around the town. The fabulous new Apple Fun Park is close by and will be opening at Easter 2008.
One street back from the South-west Highway, you avoid much of the traffic noise in the town, yet it is only 2 minutes walk to the shops and cafes.
Guests share a bathroom and 2 WCs and have use of the washing machine and other laundry facilities.
Check out is by 10 am and check in after 3 pm.
Jarragon B&B is a non-smoking home. Children under 8 y.o.and pets are not catered for.
What are your interests?
The old Grimwade townsite, once a sizeable milling town is only 30 minutes drive or discover the surprising history of goldfinds at the Old Goldfields Cider Factory.
Walkers can choose an easy stroll along the Preston River in the heart of town, visit Kirup falls or find an interesting bush track, if you are feeling adventurous.
Wine-tastings are a tempting afternoon activity without having to go very far at all.
The wildflowers in spring make a stroll by the golf-course or hospital garden a must with your camera at hand.
One earth. Ours to share.
Does your commitment to the environment disappear when you are travelling? Of course not.
