Bunny Orchids

Five Bunny Orchids have appeared in the last week along our front drive and two are just by the front entrance. These are the first orchids to appear.  Soon there will be lots of orchids to investigate. On our block are 5 different spider orchids, Cowslip orchids, rattlebeaks, enamel orchids as well as lobelias and many trigger plant species.

Jo-Anna & Matthew, Canberra, 13/5/09. Such a lovely place! We were delighted to spend three days here, and we hope to come back for more adventures. I love the special touches in the room - the blanket, bath salts, soaps etc. and we really appreciate your help and advice Dirk. I'm sure your B&B will be very successful. Best wishes.
Peter, Vic Park, WA, 11/5/09. Was in Capel on a project and have always wanted to visit the SW - so on the advice of some friends ended up here! Enjoyed the new and varied scenery. The bed was warm and the hot tubs a refuge after a day of walks or cycling. Also enjoyed the wide-ranging talks with Dirk & his scrambled eggs on toast. Looking forward to visiting the area again! Cheers.

Breakfast














The most important meal of the day is almost a four course affair at Loaring Place!














Start with some muesli, poached fruit and Margaret River yogurt then move on to a gourmet cooked Australian breakfast complete with mushrooms, bacon, sausage, free range eggs cooked to order all served with herbs and vegetables fresh from the Loaring Place garden.

If you still have room, treat yourself to some freshly baked muffins before you head out for a day of sight seeing.















What you don't eat, Casey gladly will! Here she is enjoying poached eggs in her very own Royal Doulton doggy bowl - she's certainly more spoilt that she was on the sheep farm!
