At Balingup Heights Hilltop Forest Cottages, we're a family-owned business that has been welcoming guests from all over the world to our picturesque property in the heart of the Blackwood River Valley.

Over the years, we've spent countless hours restoring our cottages to maintain their rustic charm while ensuring they meet the highest standards of comfort and luxury. Each of our six cottages is designed to provide the perfect haven for couples, families, and friends seeking a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, our cottages embody the essence of Australian bushland living.
