Your hosts, Helen and Greg, invite you to escape a while to the Perth hills for a relaxing stay in our home among the gum trees.

Balligar is located on a quiet, secluded acre of bush, with many grass trees, that backs onto a bush reserve.  It is just a short stroll from the village of Mount Helena, Mount Helena Tavern, public transport, swimming pool and heritage walk trails - the KEP Track & Railway Reserves Heritage Trail.

Mount Helena is about forty minutes drive from Perth, five minutes from the historic town of Mundaring and close to Lake Leschenaultia and many other hills attractions.

Our two guest bedrooms, with queen size beds and split system reverse cycle air-conditioning, provide guests with all home comforts, tea and coffee making facilities and bar fridge. There is a guest bathroom and separate powder room.
The guest lounge, BBQ, outdoors entertaining area, verandas and bush garden are places to relax and enjoy.
There is wireless internet access for those that need to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

Balligar and surrounds are wonderful sources of inspiration for those who love to walk, cycle, sketch, paint or just be. 

Balligar is also in walking distance to the Mount Helena workshop venue.
