Pemberton Backpackers YHA
( 08-9776 1105;

;
7 Brockman St; dm/s/d $28/62/65; )
The main hostel is given
over to seasonal workers, but you'll need to check in here for a room in the separate cot-
tage (8 Dean St) that's set aside for travellers. It's cute and cosy, but book ahead as it only
has three rooms, one of which is a six-person dorm.

between very nice, simple karri cottages, or leap to the top of the ladder with the luxury
eco-chalets. The latter are light and airy, with elegant, contemporary decor, eco-conscious
waste-water systems and a solar-passive design. You're also right on hand to enjoy culin-
ary treats at the adjacent Foragers Field Kitchen (
