Please Note - we are unable accommodate visitors without notice as we are a working property and an appointment is required. FOOD ACCOMMODATION EVENTS... FARM TOUR, SCONE DEMONSTRATION AND JAM TASTING EXPERIENCE In Bridgetown and looking for something interesting and fun to see and do? Then come to Little Hill Farm and enjoy our morning or afternoon Farm Tour Experience. Held most Saturdays throughout the year and some public holidays at 10.30 AM and 2.30 PM, it is an ideal way to spend an hour or so enjoying some rural hospitality. Book a scone making workshop with Antonio, where he will pass on the secrets for making the perfect scone, then head off with Adam (and Chase) on a tour of the farm to see what we grow and learn a little about our rural lifestyle and the changing seasons before returning to the farmhouse to enjoy tea/coffee, warm scones and an assortment of our delicious Little Hill Farms jams.

No stranger to the south west my fiancé and I knew we wanted to spend more time in Bridgetown. We stumbled across this little place the night before and straight away we were sold on the winter package which included two nights accomodation a tour of the farm , scones and a dinner . The owners of this farm Antonio and Adam are lovely . I can’t say enough about the breath taking 360 views , nor the food served to us by Antonio . We ran out of time to do the farm tour or have the scones but I would highly recommend you stay longer then we could this time . I would love to come and stay here for a week even if you do nothing but sit on the sofa and watch the birds in the valley all day

7. Supreme Court Gardens

This is not so much a review as a comment to correct some misinformation I noted from looking at some of the reviews, particularly with respect to the location of the Supreme Court Gardens, and Stirling Gardens. The Supreme Court building sits in the middle of the Supreme Court Gardens (to the South of the Court and riverside) and Stirling Gardens which is to the north of the Court. Stirling Gardens are in fact on the corner of Barrack Street and St George's Terrace (NOT Adelaide Terrace as some say and as appears in the above description. I don't know how that gets corrected). Supreme Court Gardens are bounded by Barrack Street, Riverside Drive and Governors Avenue. Don't go looking for Adelaide Terrace as it is some distance down the road to the east of Barrack Street. If you visit either garden it is just a short walk to the other. Cross Barrack Street and you are in the Elizabeth Quay precinct, and to the south of the gardens is Barrack Square where you will also find the Bell Tower. There are a number of places to eat at Barrack Square and Elizabeth Quay. On a fine day both gardens are worth visiting, and it is nice to just sit a while and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I love the massive Moreton Bay Fig trees in both gardens. There is an enormous specimen near the Perth City Council building in Stirling Gardens and several other large trees down Barrack Street and behind the Court in the Supreme Court Gardens.

9. Greenough Museum & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 36 reviews
This is more than a traditional museum! It is an inter-active museum set in a 19th century homestead surrounded by beautiful gardens. Discover more about the social history of Greenough from Aboriginal times to today. Marvel at the preserved curios of family life in the spacious kitchen. Take a selfie in period costume. Sit and ponder on the Double Dunny. Wander through Elizabeth's Garden and the Veggie garden. Hug what could be Australia's oldest leaning gum tree.
Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia
The Historic Settlement is interesting but step inside this museum and be amazed, not just be the contents of the rooms and sheds, but the gardens and the ancient leaning tree. The building dates to 1862, starting life as a humble cottage and being expanded over the next 18 years to become the largest homestead at Greenough. During this period, the owner, John Maley, became a highly successful businessman while finding time to father 9 sons and 5 daughters with wife Elizabeth. The rooms are filled with artefacts of a bygone age, portraits, Aboriginal creations and more, while outside the sheds showcase various items of equipment, including a two seater dry toilet. Don't overlook the framer portrait of John & Elizabeth, 'Welcome to the Pioneer Museum', a remarkable couple.

Reviewed By callmesnoozy
At first the wonderland of plants was quite overwhelming, but with the help of a wonderfully knowledgeable staff member we learned a lot about native plants and found what our garden needs. So much to consider - light and shade, sand or soil, etc. Good job the native plants are hardy - they need to be, with us!
