Pemberton, WA

We made it Pemberton and The Glenhaven B and B. This was # one rated B and B in the area per trip adviser. I find this site a bit tricky to use. There is always one review that if it reads true will cancel out any of the good reviews. Also some of the rankings are based on only one or two reviews. Here our room was tiny and had twin beds. With Michael's walker and the suitcase, only one of us could be standing. This was the only room they had available when I had booked.They only have three rooms for guests.


The owners are scotch and very hospitable without being cloying. Jim has a dry wit. He makes breakfast contingent on your partaking in sherry hour the night before. It made the three couples talk. We met Henry and Caroline. Henry is Burmese but left for Australia in his early 20's. Caroline is Australian and is an occupational therapist. Stephanie and Michael were young Swiss doctors who were camping in WA.
Sadies at The Gloucester Motel for dinner was recommended to us by Jim. Tucked up the hill off main street with no signage, I am not sure we would have thought this was the place to go. We had a terrific meal. Michael had marron those fresh water cray fish and I had a seafood Laksha coconut based spicy soup. We were all surprised how good the food was.


Michael forgot his glasses, so he had to borrow Caroline's.


I actually would have liked to stay in Pemberton a day or two more. There is a tram, lovely hiking areas, and we only got to see the area with pouring rain and hail.
