Seven minutes from Manjimup, three hours from Perth, and a world away from both.
43 Hind Road
Deanmill WA 6258
Head south on the Kwinana Freeway and Forrest Highway to Bunbury, then the South Western Highway through Donnybrook and Bridgetown towards Manjimup. Just before town, take Graphite Road, turn left onto Hind Road after about 6 km, and ours is the first driveway on the left, about 500 m along.
Good stops: Donnybrook for apples and a coffee, Bridgetown for lunch on the main street.
Easy to pair with a few days on the coast. The drive runs inland through Nannup and the jarrah and karri forest, so leave time for a slow one. Put our address in your GPS; some apps list us as Manjimup rather than Deanmill.
Nannup is the halfway point, with a bakery, cafes and a river walk.
Fly into Perth Airport and allow about 3 hours 15 minutes to drive down, or fly direct to Busselton Margaret River Airport (Jetstar runs flights from Melbourne and Sydney) and you're about 1 hour 45 minutes away. Both airports have car hire, and you'll want a car to explore once you're here.
Check current flight days before you plan; regional schedules change by season.
From 3pm at all three stays. Check-out is 10am.
Supermarkets, fuel and a bottle shop are seven minutes away in Manjimup. Many cafes close mid-afternoon, and Sunday and Monday dinners need planning.
Coverage is patchy outside town. Telstra is the most reliable, and every stay has wifi.
They're out at dawn and dusk on country roads. Slow down after sunset, especially on the last stretch.
No problem. We send arrival instructions a few days before, your door is open and the key is inside.
No 4WD needed. In very wet winter weather, message us and we'll tell you the best place to park at The Soak.
