Myrtlemae Farm is a 24-acre property hidden away behind state forest one kilometre from the town centre of Balingup. It features meandering gardens and stunning views over-looking the Blackwood River Valley.
‘Rustic’ is certainly a word you could use to describe Myrtlemae Cottage. It is also ‘cosy’, ‘charming’ and ‘comfy’.
We think the cottage started life as a stables come work shed. Since then it has been through a few changes includingthe addition of flagstone floors using bricks rescued from the old Balingup Hotel.
The cottage has been meticulously re-purposed. The interior living space is essentially one large room split over two levels. The upper level features a queen and two king single beds. On the lower level is the living area with lounge (which folds out to a double bed) and wood fire, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen has a stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and fridge along with a toaster. kettle, and Nespresso including tea and complimentary coffee pods.
Off the main space modern bathroom that also has a washer/dryer combo. There is also access to south facing deck (perfect for sunsets).
There’s no TV, but you can stare out the widescreen window and take in the nature channel all day and there is a host of books, games and puzzles to entertain.

    The property was absolutely lovely and so peaceful! I stayed there with my toddler and two dogs and we had really nice time. The house was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host was great to deal with and very patient. We will most likely be booking again in the near future! Highly recommend.

    We loved the location - close to town but felt so secluded. And the cottage was really comfortable & cosy. Beautiful outlook over the farm as well. Was a chilly weekend so was great being able to have the fire going!

    A 'no fuss' pet friendly stay in a characterful place. Many mature trees on the property and scenic paddock views really made our birding trip memorable.

    The cottage is a beautiful little getaway. Quiet, peaceful, minutes from the town of Balingup so you can drive in and get something from Foster's Bakery! Photos are accurate. Communication was very good. We would love to stay again.

    We were down from Perth with our dog gor a weekend away. The accommodation was just what we needed, the photos are a good indication of the layout and amenities. Super clean, comfy bed, and a great fire and heater, so despite the cold weather we were cosy. Very relaxing and easy get away..
