KATANNING ROLLER FLOUR MILL The Katanning Roller Flour Mill, after the demise of the business in the 1970’s, lay dormant for many years and looked like being demolished. However the Katanning Shire took control of the building and, in 2015, sold it to the Dome Coffee Group for $1.00 on the proviso it was restored to its former state. The group set about refurbishing the building, turning it into a boutique industrial heritage hotel with a café and downstairs wine bar.
KOBEELYA Kobeelya was erected for F H Piesse in 1902, as the family’s private residence and built to overlook their property and the town. The name, suggested by Sir John Forrest, is an aboriginal word which means “place of sleep and rest”. Kobeelya passed out of the hands of the Piesse family in 1922, becoming the boarding house and schoolrooms of the Church of England’s Kobeelya College and later Penrhos College. This school for girls, opened on 14th September 1922, was unique by allowing students to bring their horses with them.
