About Mullalyup
Mullalyup is a small town in the South West region of Western Australia, situated on the South Western Highway between Kirup and Balingup, approximately 231 kilometres south of Perth within the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup. With a population of around 149 residents spread across nearly 88 square kilometres of the Blackwood River Valley, the locality is known for its green, hilly countryside and agricultural character typical of WA's South West. The landscape is dominated by orchards, timber country, and the scenic Blackwood River that gives the valley its name.
Mullalyup's quiet rural charm has attracted a small community of farmers and lifestyle property owners drawn to the Blackwood Valley's cool temperate climate and scenic surrounds. The South Western Highway provides convenient access to Balingup (12 kilometres south) for basic supplies, and to Bunbury and the broader South West for larger shopping trips. The valley is popular with visitors exploring the South West food and wine region, with Nannup accessible 30 minutes west and Busselton reachable in around 50 minutes. Mullalyup appeals to those seeking a rural retreat with the warmth of a small-town community.
