Kwarn & Family, KL & Perth, 24/4/09. You have a great place and have offered us great service. The bathroomis impressive and breakfast superb.  Will surely come again in the future.
Tony and Jay from Brisbane left this morning staying one night, doing the Leeuwin-Berry Farm tour before coming back up to visit Cowaramup and head back to their daughter's place in Perth.  Their daughter has a really old Merc (pre-airbag that is) but it is in great nick and perfect for Mum and Dad to toodle around the countryside.

Kwarn and daughter Christine from KL watched Quantum of Solace til midnight on the big screen in the lounge and really enjoyed the sound system, while Mum slept in the Cowaramup room. We have a foldaway bed that fits nicely in the room for when a third person is booked in.

Penny & Ric, Moss Vale, NSW, 23/4/09. Thank you for a wonderful stay. You live in one of the most amazing locations. We are so glad to have found your fantastic B&B. Thanks for making us so welcome.
Pam had a book club meeting here today so she was very busy yesterday and this morning preparing a morning tea and then a lunch.  Fortunately we had Rocksand helping out.  So I've had beautiful Anzac biscuits, muffins, red onion pie and green eggs and ham quiche for lunch.

Rick and Penny spent 2 days here and came back exhausted each evening.  Pauline (Debby's Mum) and Walter had a relaxing time here as well.  They found the northern end of the Boranup Drive had been blocked by a fallen tree but they were determined to see the forest so they drove up from the southern end for a while and then went back.  They said the drive was worth it, even though the road was a bit rough for his beemer.

Completed planting lawn runners for the back lawn. Had 2mm rain last night which is just what the runners need.  Unfortunately not much more rain likely for a week or so.

Have 2 couples and a single guy staying, with everybody up early, but it makes for a merry breakfast.

Sam and Lai, Sussex, 21/4/09. The stay was fantastic, It was nice to be welcomed into your home and your friendly nature was excellent.

Jen & Peter, Cornwall, England, 21/4/09. A most enoyable but brief stay.  Must be repeated. Very many thanks.

Megan & Laurance, Lake Macquarie and Sydney, 21/4/09. So pleased we "found" you. Enjoyed the tranquillity and your hospitality. 
Three couples leaving today. Megan and Lawrence from Sydney/Tasmania enjoyed following their nose on the way to Cape Leeuwin, so much so that they missed seeing the turnoffs for Lake Cave, Boranup Drive and Jewel Cave. Their excuse was they have been used to doing 300-500km a day on their trek down from Darwin and to Broome and so don't notice the side roads any more. Atleast they made it to the Berry Farm.

Sam is from Perth but living in Sussex. Managed to leave his child with Mum in Mandurah and show his partner a bit of the region. 

Yesterday Pam and I planted out runners to replace the lawn that I had killed. Still got another large area to do today.  Fortunately the edges of the lawn that had not died had grown lots of runners for us to use.

Irene and Clement from Seattle and Singapore were very reluctant to leave yesterday after only one day. Now they know how good the area is, they will be back. Irene couldn't escape the office and spent an hour on Skype.
