From Perth, choose either the Kwinana Freeway and coast road via Mandurah or the South-West Highway via Pinjarra. Both continue to Bunbury. From Bunbury, take the South-West Highway through Boyanup, Donnybrook and Balingup to Bridgetown. One kilometre from the Bridgetown Post Office, immediately after crossing the traffic bridge over the Blackwood River, take the road to Nannup on the right (The Brockman Highway). Three kilometres onwards Mockerdillup Road leads off to the left to Donnelly Village - 24 kilometres. Total travel time from Perth is approximately three and a half hours.
From Manjimup, leave the town via Graphite Road and turn right about three kilometres from the town centre along Ralston Road. Watch for the signs to Donnelly Mill, as there are two more right hand turns and one to the left.
From Nannup, head towards Bridgetown on the Brockman Highway for 23 kms then turn right at Sears Road and travel another 9 kms to the village.
