Things to do in Nannup
[Read More]
Nannup prides itself on its gardening abilities, with tulips, roses and various other flowers adorning the surrounds throughout the year; the annual Nannup Flower and Garden Show in August is popular.
Aside from the colourful blooms, there’s loads more for outdoorsy folk with the Munda Biddi Trail running right through the town. Nearby are the Old Timberline Trail, Kondil Park trails, the Karri Gully Walk Trail and River Walk Trail. St John Brook Conservation Park is also a great spot, and there are camping and picnic facilities, toilets and barbecues.
If you are looking to swim, Workman’s and Barrabup pools are great in summer. Both are located in the St John Brook Conservation Park, 7km out of town. For a cheeky skinny dip, you can head to Cambray Pool (also known as Cambray Siding). Although it’s not ‘officially’ a clothing-optional spot, that hasn’t stopped regular nude bathers over the years. Like all waterholes around these parts, take care when entering and exiting the water.
Be sure to stop at the supposedly haunted old bakery at night. Locals swear they’ve heard the sound of a cash register ringing, pots and pans banging, and even the smell of bread baking. Spooky!

Description
There are so many reasons to visit Nannup and the Blue House B&B is just one more. This Queenslander-style house is warm and welcoming and each bedroom opens directly on to the verandah, making the most of the lovely valley views and the 5 acres of land, bordered by river and forest.
The Blue House has three bedrooms and offers the best of traditional homestay accommodation, where the owners are there when you need them and melt into the background when you want privacy. Quality linen and bedding and a delicious breakfast menu are must-haves when it comes to B&B accommodation… and the Blue House certainly shines here.
One bedroom has a queen-size bed and an ensuite and there is also a room with twin beds and another with a double bed. These two rooms share the separate toilet and bathroom. The guest reading room has a double sofa bed, meaning that the house can sleep a total of 8 people, when booked by a group. Evening meals and/or picnic hampers for groups of 4-6 can be catered for – just have a chat with Susan and Michael and let them know what you need.
The Blue House is the perfect base to make the most of this beautiful region of WA … even if the most you want to do is sit on the verandah, read a book and sip a glass of wine, or stare at the immensity of the night sky away from the light pollution of the city.
However, those who like a little action with their holiday will be pleased to know that the Munda Biddi off-road cycle trail runs alongside the Blue House. This trail will (when completed) go from Perth to Albany, mostly following unused railway lines. It currently runs from Perth to Manjimup and is increasing in popularity, as it is WA’s first off road cycle trail – and it runs through a region of staggering natural beauty.
Make the Blue House your base in Nannup … its blend of hospitality, charm and great location make it a house you may never want to leave.
