Owner Shannon
Bakehouse '38 Restaurant & Guesthouse is a recently refurbished historic Bakehouse in the heart of Cowaramup, South West W.A. Est 1938, our building was town's original bakery and is fondly known locally as the old Bakehouse. Less than 3 hours drive south of Perth, we are ideally situated central to the Margaret River wine region. Owners Shannon & Clayton purchased the property in mid 2015 and dived head first into 20 long months of renovating. The three guest rooms at Bakehouse '38 were finally completed in April 2017. Thanks to the new owners fastidious renovations and attention to detail, the result is a property with rooms which are quite unlike any others you would find anywhere. A singer sewing machine stand as a vanity base, old partially burnt doors from the since demolished Reef Hotel in Bunbury as a bedhead, kerosene lamps and old steel wheels as pendant lighting. Every item sourced and used each has its very own story which just adds further charm to the historic building itself. Be treated to a unique, boutique guesthouse experience in one of our elegantly rustic rooms. Please note: Restaurant not yet open to the general public. Functions can be arranged by request.
Owner Shannon lives onsite in a separate residence at the rear of the property. Shannon is a chef and lover of good food and great produce. Having grown up in the Margaret River region, Shannon feels blessed as we are surrounded by an abundance of local food producers and the Saturday morning Farmers Market in Margaret River is a must-do while you are here. We offer breakfast as an optional extra as some guests may choose to explore different eateries during their stay. As our resident chef, Shannon will whip up a cooked breakfast for you that can be selected from our ever changing menu. Breakfast also includes ; seasonal fruits, cereal, toast with local condiments and tea/ coffee/ hot chocolate. You may enjoy breakfast in your room, on the verandah, in the guest lounge or in the courtyard. There are also woodfired take-away meals available, (dine in option for guests only) and Woodfired Potted bread to try!
Cowaramup, otherwise known as 'Cow Town', is a quaint country town, which has retained its character despite the rapid growth of the local tourism industry. The locals are friendly and you can find just about anything you will need in the shops right here, all within easy walking distance. There are peaceful parks nearby and the Wadandi walk track begins a short distance away, for an easy 3 hour hike to Margaret River through forest and farmland. You can reach Cowaramup from Perth by car or coach-line. Once you are here you will be spoilt for things to do, all within short driving distance or by taking a tour with one of the many local tour operators. The natural attractions here are world-class. Whatever it is you are into, whether it is wine tasting, gourmet foods, and sight seeing, or more physical and adventurous pursuits like surfing, mountain bike riding or caving, you will find exactly you are looking for, and we are right here to help!
