When it comes to getting away from it all to unwind, reboot and reconnect, nature is the best reset button. And summer in the bush sees time itself slow, allowing you to take a breath and step out of your daily mayhem. 

With crisp mornings and the promise of a cool afternoon breeze wafting through our 25 acre hilltop forest, Balingup offers holiday makers blissful relief from the heat of Perth’s summer. There’s plenty of exploring to do through the Blackwood River Valley with the stone fruit at its best. All the cottages are air-conditioned, however there’s nothing quite as relaxing as an hour or two spent lazing on your cottage balcony watching the sunset in the valley. At night take a stroll to the lookout and marvel at the stars on display in the southern sky. 
 

Greenbushes Swimming Pool, just 15 mins from Balingup, is one of our favourite places to visit on a warm summer day. A natural spring feed bush pool . . . there’s plenty of shade, free BBQ’s, an undercover picnic area, children's playground, toilets and of course a jetty. Nature's hugs await!
