© Banksia Gully 2011  Site Map Exclusively  for just one couple, The Cottage at Banksia Gully is set in its own private garden within 160 acres of rolling farm and bushland.  Awaken each day to birdsong and crisp, clean country air. Linger over breakfast in the sunshine on your veranda.  Take time to relax and rejuvenate. Enjoy a book by the fire or on a daybed overlooking the lake, soak in the deep rainwater filled bath. Sleep blissfully in the silence of the bush. Banksia Gully is located in a tranquil valley in the heart of the Southwest of Western Australia, 15 minutes from the tourist town of Balingup and just an hour away from the renowned beaches and wineries of the Busselton and Margaret River regions. Peaceful and secluded, Banksia Gully provides the perfect place to base yourself when visiting the Southwest.  Welcome to The Cottage at Banksia Gully Explore this picturesque area with its vast expanses of native forest interspersed with orchards, vineyards and farmland.  Source seasonal produce and sample wholesome food in the quaint towns and hamlets along the Harvest (Southwest) Highway as it winds its way through the district. Partake in one of the many festivals and concerts the region offers throughout the year. As evening approaches, enjoy a drink on the wide cottage veranda or at the pavilion by the lake. Watch the kangaroos as they emerge from the forest. Listen to kookaburras noisily declare their territories as black cockatoos squabble over roosting sites.  Prepare a delicious meal with fresh local produce in the well equipped kitchen or on the BBQ.  Alternatively you may wish to experience the warmth and hospitality of dining in a country pub. Select a movie from one of the satellite TV movie channels or from the cottages DVD library to enjoy by the warmth of your wood fire.
