Three delightfully charming character cottages on the banks of the Blackwood River only twelve kilometres from the historical town of Nannup in the South West of Western Australia.

Each cottage has been carefully positioned and, together with some judicious planting of trees and shrubs, a secluded and very private environment has been individually created for the guests in each of the cottages. All of the cottages have a very private setting, wide verandahs, a private double spa, air con for summer, wood fire for winter, all linen is provided and each cottage has a special feature, unique only to itself.

Blackwood River Cottages is about old moss covered fence posts, winter mist rising from the river, clear night skies with twinkling stars overhead, peace, the sounds of silence and old fashioned country warmth.

Nestled on an old pioneer farm, many signs of the old days are still evident today including an old barn and dairy.
The 40 acre property is bordered by state forest and the Blackwood River providing guests with a choice of forest or property walk trails, wildflower walks in the adjoining forest or for a small fee guests can hire a canoe on-site for a half day paddle on the river taking in the scenic forest views. Abundant birdlife, kangaroos feeding at dusk, occassional possum visits at night, water fowl, ducks, frogs, small marsupials and lizards, long necked tortoise - all of these can be spotted by the sharp eyed guest.

Central to the South West, Blackwood River Cottages Nannup are within an easy drive of the surrounding towns of Balingup, Busselton, Manjimup, Pemberton, Bunbury, Margaret River and Augusta.

Mulberry Tree Cottage

This three bedroom cottage is built on the site of the pioneer homestead that burnt down in 1988. Recently refurbished, this cottage still retains the elements of an old fashioned country homestead (with some modern touches). The cottage has veranda's both front and back with river views from the front.

A special, purpose built, timber spa room in the garden was completely demolished in August 2006 when strong winds toppled some trees onto the building. The replacement is a dedicated spa room about one and a half metres off the ground and accessed across a short walkway from the front veranda. This "high off the ground" room, coupled with two windows with their river views, give a feeling of being amonst the tree tops.

The cottage has a light, airy and comfortable kitchen/dining/living area with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors bring the outside in to the cottage. The main bedroom has a "high off the ground" queen bed, the second bedroom has a double bed and the third, two singles. All of the bedroom have floor to ceiling windows making the rooms light and welcoming.

A bookcase in the living area provides a plethora of reading material for the avid reader and the cottage has a satellite tlevision and a VCR. A timber outdoor setting on the front veranda provides a pleasant alfresco dining area and there is a gas barbecue on the back veranda.

The cottage is named after a magnificient old English mulberry tree planted by the original pioneers in the front yard of the cottage. This tree yields up a bountiful feast of fat, black, sweet, juicy berries during the months of January and February to those who linger awhile under its spreading green canopy.

This cottage is suitable for two persons, two couples sharing or for a family on holiday. The old wooden barn at the back of the cottage houses table tennis equipment for the enjoyment of guests staying in this cottage.

Bedding Configuration : One queensize bed, one double bed, 2 single beds.
Bathroom Desciption : Shower with vanity unit, seperate room with double spa bath.
