Karribank

We knew the property was undergoing renovation, so were aware of that. Sadly they had had lots of rain the day before we arrived, so were in damage control. we look forward to our next visit when the rennos are complete and the wifi works.

What I like: Quiet, big area Suggestions: it would be much better if you make your own play ground for the kids to playing while we’re relaxing at home.

Comfortable Hideaway We had a slightly difficult experience on arrival (New Years Day at 6pm) with the staff recovering from they previous nights festivities and all the phones went unanswered despite having called earlier to confirm possible late arrival. Fortunately this was resolved as we were abandoning the property when a resident or staff member called out and then confirmed we were in fact expected and found our key. On checking in we found a well set out cabin with good facilities albeit with no air conditioning. As we were new to the area and had just arrived from Victoria we then found there were no local place open for meals and being a public holiday the nearest place likely to have any facilities open was Albany about an hours drive away. Overall I would have been pleased to get a little more basic information in advance although overall we were reasonably content. We later also found that when the second cabin in our block was occupied the last night that the slightest sound on either cabin was shared with its neighbour. This resulted in a mid evening request from our neighbour to turn off our TV, lights and stop talking as we were keeping two restless children awake. The online marketing information is a bit overstated and missing what might be seen as useful information. That said with the exception of sound proofing the location and facilities were perfectly suitable for a couple on a self drive holiday. The cabin cooled quickly, and had everything we needed.

There wasn't air condition at the room. When we get there, temperature was 41 degree celcus. When we open the room door, hot air was burning toward us. I asked them portable aircon or something to cool the room. Unfortunatelly, they hadn't any thing to help us.

Gorgeous landscape and scenery at Karribank Excellent location in Porongurup. Perfect for hiking and admiring the beautiful scenery. The property is stunning and although the accommodation is a little tired, it doesn’t deter from the experience.

We enjoyed the stay. Property was clean and staff was helpful.
