Testimonials

The week I spent on Cocos island with “Travel with me” was like being transported to a picturesque pacific island with great water activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and motorized canoes to island hop, all perfectly organized along with touring the main islands, rounded off with great meals and the Cocos club for after dinner fun.
This duty-free unspoiled spot is on my list to return to next year.

Thanks, Annette for another memorable trip with you.

Another trip with Annette from TWME, this time the Truffles and Gems in Manjimup , may not be exotic But it is an eye opener into this region for the Quality they produce and how they have changed farming habits.

In a 5 day holiday we were based at a Re-vamped motel that gave us everything we needed, had daily breakfast across the road at Two Little Black Birds which would rate well above most Perth eateries. Food and Service Brilliant

During the days we visited local businesses like a Trout and Marron Farm where we heard how ideas have changed on how to function and survive, and that industry is actually listening to what they are achieving, lunch at Dingup House an old homestead, 3 Ryans Eggs where the chooks live in caravans and run free in the paddocks , Apple orchards to eat fresh apples off the trees , and Avocado Plantations. And we got to Listen to All the Producers tell their storey on how they are improving the Primary Industry Farming. We even got to follow the dogs find Truffles in a working environment and Listen to Mel explain how it all works with planting and dog training.

Wines with dinner in their shed at Woodgate was exceptional.

Peos Estate is a brilliant experience listening to Vic and Benta tell their story on farming , and they can BBQ a nice steak, and they are great company.

Tasting plate and wine pairing at Truffle Hills is a great way to fill in a couple of hours on the way home.

Always good to listen to to winemakers stories and how they actually help out their neighbours who are also their competitors

Joe Ditri presents an exceptional Thursday night dinner and a open chat to discuss produce in the Manjimup region.

Well worth doing this holiday , thoroughly enjoyed the solo travelling group , Annette and Peter and their group of producers they took us to,  even enjoyed Sausage production and tastings in another shed environment.

Plenty of places you would not visit without an escorted holiday

Well worth doing this holiday , Have booked on further ones

You are doing such a great job Annette, we loved being treated as special guests by the hosts on our visits, especially at Peos Estate.

I would definitely recommend this Journey because it is so unusual from the normally expected tour. It is a personal touch to each activity and lots of passion from the people that we met.

I used to travel with the big-name companies. Too many people. Impersonal and huge fees for traveling solo. So Glad I discovered Travel with Me. These journeys are experiences in reconnecting with WA. The locals, primary producers, fresh produce, hands-on…. LOVE IT!

Listening to Peter, his knowledge and information & obvious love and respect for the people and places around Manjimup is amazing. Very informative and interesting.

Apart from the total fabulous experience I was most impressed with the opportunity to see and hear the growers and producers stories about their journey to establishing their businesses. Then sitting down each night to savour the produce prepared and presented by chefs who anywhere else would be awarded a HAT or two. The food was extraordinary but for me starting at the source was at the top of the list. The variety of sources was most impressive.

Frank at Three Ryans Farm and the gorgeous chooks

I think people should jump to these trips with Travel with Me. It’s hard to explain just what a wonderful experience it really is. Can’t wait for my next trip.

Wow, the magnificent Manjimup region really opened my eyes the the delights of this corner of WA.  The farmers and producers that we met blew us away with their knowledge, passion and commitment to developing sustainable food production.  Their enthusiasm is contagious, and we enjoyed some fabulous meals prepared with the produce of the region.  A huge thank you to Annette and Peter for putting together such a fabulous tour.

I have never experienced anything like this tour it felt so personal Meeting all the Farmers, the Chefs , the wine experts and everyone else Pete our tour guide introduced us to and being drawn into their stories and their passion for what they do All Local Gems of the South West.  Tasting all the amazing top quality food and wine ( and there is plenty of both ) was an added bonus . So Thank you Annette for organising this for us and thank you to Pete for taking us on this Magical journey, Thanks Mate.
