Over the years, not only the farm, but the whole district became known as Myalup.

In 1846 Lieutenant General Sir Henry Bunbury acquired 100 acres of land at Myalup. In 1848, he sold the property to William Pead and the cottage known as Pead Cottage was built from timber on the property, where it still stands at Myalup Farm to this day. William Crampton acquired the property in 1853 and then in 1895 Joseph and Jane Manning acquired Myalup Farm. The Manning family farmed it for the next 98 years.

In 2007 Eddie and Kylie Rigg acquired Myalup Farm for the purpose of establishing one of Western Australia’s leading thoroughbred studs. The rich chocolate soils surrounding the Mylaup swamp and the abundant fresh water make Myalup Farm ‘a little bit of New Zealand’ on the coastal plains of the Southwest. The farm has now expanded to 250 acres.

All facilities at Geisel Park Stud, Myalup Farm, have been purpose built to ensure the safety of the horses and maximise efficiencies. Only the 1849 Pead Cottage and the renovated Stud Master’s house remain.
