Hidden between Collie and Donnybrook, the Glen Mervyn Cottage is that quiet little spot you’ll wish you found sooner. With the Bibbulmun Track and Glen Mervyn Dam literally on your doorstep, you can spend your days hiking, swimming, or just lounging by the water with a snack and a good playlist.

As the sky turns pink, step outside and watch the mist creep across the valley with a drink in hand. The cottage is simple in the best way — warm, comfy and surrounded by fresh country air. It’s that sweet mix of summer adventure and slow, cosy evenings that make the South West so good.
