How's this for a pink paradise!? 🩷💗🩷

On the road between and the Mount Barker Visitor Centre you'll find the most gorgeous bubblegum-blushed waters. Cranbrook's Pink lakes lay north of the magnificent and as you can see - offer dreamy views from every angle.

Meet Fergus, our sassy garden gnome and the self-proclaimed Mayor of Porongurup Chalets! 🍄

Fergus takes more pride in his fabulously well-groomed beard than he does in his Mayoral duties (shh, don't tell!). It's meticulously styled to perfection, making him the envy of gnome-kind.

Keep your eyes peeled around the place - you might just stumble upon some of his mischievous gnome buddies causing a ruckus.

Say hi to Fergus on your next visit!

🍕 Happy International Cheese Pizza Day! 🧀🍕

Today, we celebrate the universal love for pizza, a dish that has transcended borders.

But did you know that there's another shape that has also captured our fascination across different cultures? Enter the A-frame chalet, a unique architectural design that shares a triangle shape.

Just like pizza, A-frame chalets have found their way into various countries and landscapes. From the Swiss Alps to the Porongurup Range, these charming structures have become synonymous with cozy getaways. Their compact yet functional design offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers, hikers and those seeking a special escape.

So, as we celebrate International Pizza Day, let's appreciate A-frame chalets and pizza slices since they are both undeniably awesome!🍕⛰️🏠
