Manjimup Backpackers

Manjimup Backpackers sits in the heart of Western Australia's South West region, a quiet rural town known for timber and agricultural heritage. Located on Rose Street, the hostel serves as a practical base for travellers exploring the surrounding forests and natural attractions. The nearby Gloucester Tree is the main draw for visitors, offering a challenging climb and views across the karri forest. The hostel appeals to budget travellers seeking a low-key stop rather than a party destination, making it suited to solo travellers and those wanting a genuine regional experience. The area is peaceful and somewhat isolated, which suits travellers who prefer to avoid the hustle of coastal backpacker hotspots. With a solid 4.4-star rating from nearly 100 reviews, the hostel has built a reputation for reliability among backpackers passing through rural WA. It's an ideal overnight stop for those working their way down the South West coast or exploring the forest walks and small-town charm that define this part of the state.
