How 'Pet Proof" is Merry's Retreat

I have had a lot of enquiries asking how "dog or pet proof" the fence at Merry's Retreat really is. Well I decided to take some photos to show you. This type of fence goes around the whole property. And the block size is approx 800sqm.

Hope this helps! Click on the images to see a larger size.

Callala Beach in Winter is beautiful

You know how some places in winter are really not that nice, or can be depressing? Well not Callala. Still full of birds, there is NO ONE on the beach and you have it all to yourself.. In fact I know someone who went swimming last week!

The Golf Course is around the corner, there are plenty of wineries nearby, and really pretty scenic drives as close as can be.

Come on down and stay. You won't want to leave.

Summer at Merry's Retreat

Summer is such a wonderful time of the year.. It just went so quickly! December seems like such a long time ago. Then again, so does March!
