Marbelup is a townsite and locality of the City of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The South Coast Highway runs through the locality west to east while the Great Southern Railway passes through it from north to south. The Marbelup Nature Reserve surrounds the remaining gazetted townsite, just 4,052 square metres (43,620 sq ft) in size, on three sides but no town actually exists at location.[2][3]
