Louise's Cottage was peaceful, quiet and had a lovely view of the valley. Weather was cold and wet but we were comfortable by the fireplace and the heater. There were plenty of good books for reading and it was nice to wake up to the sound of birds. Balingup is a great place to stay for exploring Nannup and Bridgetown. We didn't go to Manjimup. Thank you, Louise, for a lovely stay at the Cottage.
