Although know for it’s towering forests, the nearby coast at Windy Harbour has pristine beaches where you can have it all to yourself.

One of the best ways to enjoy the region is to attend one of the many events held across the year. One of our favourites is the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival which celebrates our diverse community and the start of the Summer harvest.

Manjimup is the largest producer of the much sought after perigord black truffle in the Southern Hemisphere. Much of the truffle harvested makes it way to the top restaurants around the world but we make sure there is plenty to try here! For a truly unique experience, sniff out these delicious treats on a truffle hunt during winter with trained dogs. Oh and the on site restaurant and cellar door are a must do!
