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. br‘Rustic’ is certainly a word you could use to describe Myrtlemae Cottage. It is also ‘cosy’, ‘charming’ and ‘comfy’.brWe think the cottage started life as a stables come work shed. Since then it has been through a few changes including the addition of flagstone floors using bricks rescued from the old Balingup Hotel. brThe 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.brOff the main space modern bathroom that also has a washer/dryer combo. There is also access to south facing deck (perfect for sunsets). brThere’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.brbrAbout BalingupbrA small but vibrant village located 2 ½ hours from Perth halfway between Donnybrook and Bridgetown, Balingup sits amongst picturesque rolling hills in the Blackwood River Valley and is surrounded by vast expanses of native forest interspersed with orchards, vineyards and farmland.
