Cottage, Holiday house, Self-contained apartment, Chalet

Chestnut Brook Cottage is fully self contained, with two bedrooms, an open plan living/dining area & a fully equipped kitchen. Windows extend the full length of the living areas providing sweeping views.

Sleeping four people comfortably, the cottage is suitable for either a romantic getaway for two, or a family holiday.

The Cottage offers quality accommodation; is rated as AAA 4 stars & has TCWA Accreditation.

Relax on the verandahs with a BBQ or a glass of wine, watch the birds and soak up the view. Have a casual lunch in your very own cottage garden, or just read a book in the shade of the trees. Enjoy the cosy wood fire on misty winter mornings and the cool air-conditioning in summer. Everything is provided for your comfort, and the cottage is spotlessly clean.

The Cottage is superbly appointed, with all quality linen provided. All you need to bring is your food. Originally built as a private house, it is more spacious than the usual holiday chalet and has a full kitchen. It is set well away from any other dwellings, so is very private and quiet.

The main bedroom has a Queen sized bed, and the second bedroom contains two single beds. The bathroom has a separate bath & shower and the toilet is separate from the bathroom.

Two verandahs provide extra areas for relaxation, and there is a gas BBQ for your exclusive use. The back verandah is gated and safe as a playing area for young children. Outdoor settings are provided on both verandahs and also in the garden.

The Cottage is equipped with a TV, DVD & stereo, and selections of CDs and DVDs are available.
There are also board games and a small library.

If you wish to go walking on the Bibbulmun Track, we are happy to drop you off so you can walk back.
Children are very welcome.

Due to the abundant wildlife & our own sheep, we do not allow pets.

Property

Situated on a small farmlet of just under 10 acres adjacent to the Balingup Brook and the Bibbulmun Track, the town of Balingup is only a short walk away. The feeling however is that of seclusion and peace.

The Cottage is surrounded by a lovely cottage garden and is positioned on the acreage to enable the utmost privacy to guests whilst providing stunning views of the surrounding hills and town.
.

Locality

Chestnut Brook Cottage is located on the edge of Balingup, in the heart of the Blackwood River Valley - just 240 km (three hours drive) south of Perth.

The village of Balingup has a magic all of its own. Surrounded by rolling hills and river valleys, there are numerous craft centres, galleries, potteries, specialty shops and cafes to visit. Well known for its festivals and events, it is fast becoming the chosen destination from which to explore other areas of the South West. The wine region of Margaret River, tall timbers of Pemberton, and picturesque scenery of the Blackwood River towns are all within an easy drive.

It is home to the Small Farm Field Day (April), the Medieval Carnivale (August), the Balingup Classic Concert under the stars (November), and many other events.

The world renowned Bibbulmun track runs though the village, and there are many options for either day walks or longer treks.
