A favourite on the list when in Margs.. gorgeous cafe surrounds by beautiful gardens and wildlife. Cafe serves sweets and simple savory dishes. They also have on site a retail store and wine tastings. Our favourites, you can’t go past their fluffy scones, boysenberry pie or a choice of cakes. Coffee tastes great too. Super kid friendly with 2 play areas and animals to see.

Amazing. A peaceful, little hideaway in tranquillity surrounded by nature. That alone, 5 ⭐️ On top of that the food was quality and has obvious care put into what's made. The staff, happy, friendly and positive. I muddled up a couple of things, management overheard and even helped out when they didn't need to. Thank you for making this place feel special.

The Berry Farm is a must-visit every time we’re in Margaret River. We stopped by the café and enjoyed delicious hot chai made with their own house spice blend—so warming and fragrant. The boysenberry pie with ice cream was a standout (as always), and the cheese and ham toasty on gluten-free bread was perfectly satisfying. We also tried the vegan coconut berry slice, which was a lovely sweet treat. Afterwards, we did a wine tasting. They currently offer a selection of just three tastings, which was fine—we already knew what we liked, and it was great to revisit our favorites. Charming as ever, The Berry Farm continues to be a highlight of our trips down south!

We have been to Berry Farm many times. Today for the amazing, warm, fluffy scones. And yes, you must get 2 each. Trust me. The only improvement I could ask for is to use clotted cream, to remind me of home.

The Margaret River Chocolate Factory

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Chocolate shop
Shopping
The Margaret River Chocolate Company is a popular tourist destination in Western Australia, offering an amazing range of chocolate products and tasty treats. In addition to chocolates and cakes, the factory also serves hot meals, making it a delightful stop for both food and chocolate lovers. Visitors can enjoy free samples of various chocolate varieties and even witness the production process through viewing windows. The hot chocolate is highly recommended, with some claiming it surpasses that of popular coffee chains.
They offer free tastings of their delicious milk and white chocolates—which is always a nice touch. We came here mainly to grab their Salted Caramel Spread and some dark chocolate—both were absolutely worth it! The location is right next to Providore, so it’s easy to visit both places in one stop. You can also enjoy ice cream, coffee, and light snacks at their café. The large backyard area is perfect for kids to run around and explore. A fun and family-friendly destination we’d definitely recommend!

I am usually generous in my ratings but this will be the 1st non 5 star rating. We bought more than $300+ of chocolate n the senior lady cashier who attended to us was pretty rude! Is it because I m an Asian Chinese? Mind you, I m not from mainland China if you are thinking that I am. My passport holds the most wanted in the world. Stop looking at people with racism and like as if I cannot afford the item I was enquiring. My jacket worn alone is already worth more than that amount. Nevertheless, I still paid with a happy smile in front of this senior lady despite her lousy attitude. The younger guy serving us at the cafe was worth mentioning. He was helpful and polite. I m giving you extra stars because of him otherwise is a one star rating. So it’s a 3 star rating this time round. Be courteous in future.

Samples are great! Pretty long standing fixture when you drive by Margaret River. There will be lots to choose from, and it does get busy as it is on a pretty touristy stretch of road. Get what you need and enjoy the free samples of chocs. Get some ice cream for your ride and enjoy your stash on your trip! Staff aren’t as friendly but they are professional.

The Margaret River Chocolate Factory is a spacious and beautiful place to visit, surrounded by lots of trees and open areas. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing — perfect for a break during a trip through the Margaret River region. Inside, there are free chocolate tastings (which our child absolutely loved!), and there’s also a viewing area where you can watch part of the chocolate-making process. Outside, there’s plenty of space for kids to run around and explore. The café offers a wide range of menu options, making it a great spot for both a treat and a light meal. Highly recommended as a family-friendly stop when visiting Margaret River!
Pongpiriya W — Google review
If you are travelling through the area then well worth stopping if not only for just a few freebie samples of their delicious chocolate. Within the shop there is every flavour and type of chocolate you could possibly dream of. There is also a viewing area to see how the chocolate is made. Margaret River is all about chocolate and wine, a perfect pairing.

This is our must go place for Chocolates.. Almost all of our chocolates that we give our friends and relatives at home after Perth visits over the past 20 years come from this place The generous samples of white and dark chocolate chips at the entrance is simply a delight for all kids and people of all ages.. The window that allows visitors to witness the making of the different kinds of gourmet produces is also an attraction in the store. Beautiful and sinful chocolates.. We love u

This café truly lives up to its name—the hot chocolate was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. What made it even better was the spacious outdoor area, perfect for kids to run around and burn off some energy while the grown-ups relaxed. A great spot for families looking to unwind with a treat!

Expensive and overpriced, but has free samples *almost* all-you-can-eat. You can watch the chocolate production too if they're making that day.

You can sample Brie, cheddar, camembert, and other gourmet flavored cheeses along with yogurt at your leisure. The shop also features a variety of condiments and beautifully presented gifts.
Cheese lovers paradise. All the favourite cheeses available like Brie or Camembert. Lots of gourmet flavoured cheese. Chutneys, oils and other condiments available. Lots of gifts are available and beautifully presented. My friend loves his cheese so bought quite a few. Creamy texture and excellent quality.
Natasha — Google review
We enjoyed our visit. It's a Good place for cheese lovers. Quite a spacious shop that opens for public but not much of a display inside, maybe due to Covid, so it's not exactly a tour type of visit. You can try and buy their cheese and beverages. Clean Toilet available on site.
Pinkblanket26 — Google review
Nice cheese but why do they close so early!!! It’s impossible to get to all your favorite places before 5pm so it’s hard to give this a full rating because we didn’t have time. Nice thing is that the “cheese tasting” is just a sample of Brie & cheddar that is pre-portioned and in a sample container so you don’t have to worry about booking a “tour”. It would be nice to try other options and it would be good if they had online ordering. Otherwise, a nice stop. Plan to buy the cheese while there because we couldn’t find it at the local Coles store.
Renee C — Google review
I really enjoyed my experience at this tourist destination. This is a really inviting complex which is painted with bright colors. The shop area was open and airy and had a great atmosphere to it. On the counter were a number of cheeses and yogurt for tastings at the customers leisure. My favorite cheese was the camembert, which is one of the best I have enjoyed. There are cold cabinets displaying a large variety of ice cream, yogurts and cheeses. Access to the complex is user friendly to those with wheelchairs and walkers. Unfortunately we didn't get to do the tour of the cheese factory. The toilets were clean and well maintained. Another option I liked was the suggested packages for picnics that the shop puts together for customers, including a cooler bag and ice brick. There are several parking areas providing lots of parking bays. There are also shelves displaying other local goods (jams, honey etc) and souvenirs for purchase.
Gordon T — Google review
Atrocious service at this place. A sprinkle of customers, maybe 5 total, including us. We walked around for 10 minutes with no interaction whatsoever. We decided to still buy a jar of spread to support and buy local. However, the experience was ruined by the unfriendly asian lady. If you want a similar experience where you feel welcomed, then I would recommend Berry Farm about a 30-minute drive, much more variety on a picturesque farm with friendly customer service. I was a bit surprised by the lower than average reviews here in comparison to other attractions in Margaret River, but it is quite reflective of my experience. This place is a poor representation of the Margaret River greater community. Worst experience in Margaret River.

You can sample their products before deciding which ones to buy as there’s so many to choose from. Don’t forget to check out the ones they have in the fridges which are in bigger packs and come out slightly cheaper. Lots and lots of cheeses and ice cream flavours to choose from.

Popularly known as cheese factory, source local dairy. Cheese products and yogurt was brilliant, bought few popular varieties to go with wine. Cute little shop with options to buy coffee and ice cream. Facilities include toilets, little sitting area and decent size car park.

Guests can enjoy warm apartments that come equipped with fireplaces, BBQs, private hot tubs and stunning views of the surrounding vineyards. The distillery is within walking distance from the accommodations, where visitors can indulge in tastings of various liqueurs and whiskeys.
Always great, a must do when in Margs. I can never go past the Turkish delight liquor but also really liked the rum ball this time. Great views, excellent service (with a smile) so put it on your list and enjoy some cocktails! Watch out for the crocodiles....

We had a tasting experience and the Turkish Delight liqueur was amazing 🙌 however, I ordered an espresso martini that was served without the traditional coffee beans representing health, wealth and happiness!!! And when I asked about them I was told they don't do it... despite serving coffee in the next room. Very disappointing and I decided not to purchase Turkish Delight liqueur after the poor attitude at the bar.

The Grove Distillery, Margaret River I first discovered The Grove Distillery years ago during a winery tour, and it’s quickly become one of my favourite stops in Margaret River. Every time I visit the region, I make sure to swing by as it’s that kind of place you never forget. The setting is inviting and peaceful, surrounded by gum trees and native bush. The distillery building itself is charming and modern, with warm touches of wood and glass. Inside, the tasting room feels cozy but open, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The spirits are top quality, beautifully balanced, smooth, and full of character. I especially enjoy their gins and liqueurs, each with distinctly local botanical flavours. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share stories behind each expression and let you try a few samples. What stands out most is that sense of care and passion. They don’t rush you. Whether you drop in for a quick tasting or linger for a few sips, you feel welcomed. The Grove Distillery isn’t just a destination; it’s a touchpoint of the region’s creative spirit. If you’re in Margaret River and after something a little different from the usual wine trail, this is a must-visit. I always leave with a smile and a bottle or two to take home.

After a complete screw-up on my part (booking for 2026 without realising), Natasha went above and beyond to sort us out. No chalets available, but instead placed us in the brand new house that was not actually available officially yet. A significant upgrade. Therefore, instead of a disastrous weekend we had a wonderful one. I highly recommend this place - quiet, beautiful, comfortable and the best staff you could wish for (thanks as well to Karl). Great drinks as well, which we sampled daily and took some home.

An excellent place to stay, quiet and restful. The Talk & Taste Tour was very informative and well presented and the tasting part was a great deal of fun. The location is perfect for visiting the northern half of the Capes, Dunsborough and Yalingup. We will definitely be back.
John R — Google review
The location of the property was perfect for us. The Chalet itself is old & wasn’t the cleanest. The lounge room had a rug in it that was dirty. The bedrooms are very cold in Winter as there was no heating in the bedrooms. The Lounge room window was open and locked so we couldn’t close it & it’s the middle of Winter. The ensuite shower had a lot of Mould. The doors to the property were also flip locks so if you have children old enough to unlock doors I would choose a different accommodation. The property also doesn’t offer WIFI but you do get reception. The outside spa was clean but the water had a bad smell. The views from every window are beautiful, over looking the vineyards & you occasionally see Kangaroos. It’s very peaceful & in a great location between Margaret River & Yallingup with endless things to do. Staff at The Grove are also very lovely.

Lovely day exploring Ngilgi Cave. It was like being in another world. Beautiful around every corner. As you are able to self explore it was easy to navigate. With a lot of stairs, you could take your time and there are seats along the way to rest. I easily spent a few hours down there, but would book in advance so you aren't turned away.

The cave is absolutely stunning and so beautiful inside. The limestone crystal formations are incredible, and walking through feels magical. There are a few steps and narrow paths, but it’s easy to manage. It does get a bit warm inside because of the humidity, so wearing light, breathable clothes really helps. Such an amazing experience

As a tour guide I take people to many wonderful places. One of my favourites is Ngilgi Cave in the Margaret River region. Its north of Margs so is an easy inclusion between Busselton & MR if you cant travel further south in a day trip from Perth. It is Western Australias 1st tourist attraction so it has History. If youre lucky enough to meet “Cave Dave”you will be in for a real treat although all the guides at Ngilgi are totally awesome. Highly recommend this cave. Enjoy.

The Cave itself is excellent and the ability to freely walk around is great, much prefer that than having to go with a guide the whole time. Staff were excellent and the forest around is lovely. Definitely worth checking out.
Zach L — Google review
The cave is absolutely amazing with such beautiful limestone formations. I have forgotten how mesmerized I was when I last visited this cave nearly 20years ago. Fast forward to 2025, the cave has had some changes. There are definitely more safety features and the place is much more well lit. You do need to go in with a good pair of walking shoes, and make use of the bar handles when possible. A moderate stamina is required as it does get rather tiring the deeper you go in as some steps do get rather high and steep. It’s a shame that some spaces (for crawling) have been closed off but I understand from one of the staff members that it’s to preserve the sanctuary of the cave life discovered inside, as insect life had bloomed during the Covid period where there were no visitors to the caves during the lockdown period. I do hope to visit the caves again some day in the future to see how it has changed!

Great place to visit if your in the region friendly staff, younger children may struggle to walk back up from the cave easy access with steps but its a fair way down. Some spots throughout the cave are tight my husbands shoulders were a bit wide so he has to squeeze through although I did not have an issue.

The portions were generous too. 10/10 would recommend!

Been here a second time and it still doesn’t disappoint. One of my favourite breweries to visit when I come to the Margaret River region. Food was great, especially the various pizzas. The drinks were amazing. Personally loved the cacao stout but the other beers were also highly recommended. Atmosphere was lovely and the scenery was beautiful.

This is probably the best brewery I’ve been to down south. The location is stuff, it looks over some rolling green fields/farm with animals. The staff were knowledgeable and patient as I asked too many questions and made jokes that didn’t land. The different types of beer were fantastic. We got the seasonal paddle which was 18$ and a bargain considering how you get to try six different beers. The wood fire pizza was incredible, 100% recommend that. The merch was also very well priced. It was a great experience and I’ll happily drag some friends there in the future

This is one of several quality beaches that dot the eastern shores of Cape Naturaliste north of Dunsborough in WA. The beach is accessible along Meelup carpark turnoff road and the carpark here allows for plenty of day visitors. There are public toilet and water showers to clean off sand and salt water, picnic area with grass and in the shade of mature trees near the carpark as well. Importantly, the beach has very nice sand, turquoise water and beautiful views. While other beaches we walking past on the Meelup Trail seemed quiet and at times near deserted, Meelup Beach had a fair number of visitors including families with little ones taking advantage of the more comprehensive facilities here.

A pleasant and clean beach, and very quiet during our time of visiting. The car park is reasonably small, and it's a nice place for a picnic of SUP.
Kerbray — Google review
One of my favourite beaches around Dunsbrough, and probably the most popular beach for families. We come in January most years and it’s always packed with little nippers on bodyboards or smiling toddlers building sandcastles in the soft sand. It’s popular with overseas tourists, and safer than most other beaches on this part of the coast. It’s well protected and calm, so safe for inexperienced swimmers and overseas visitors who sometimes lack the ability to read the current. Lifesavers are often on duty, and there’s a well shaded picnic area. There’s also an ice cream and flavoured ice van (selling Simmo’s ice cream), and plenty of parking. A great spot to spend a few hours.

Incredible little beach. Only a small group of beachgoers makes it feel like it's almost a private beach. Amazing views

Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
Heritage building
The Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse is a renowned destination in the Southern coast of Western Australia, providing breathtaking panoramic views from its accessible balcony. It is a popular spot to witness the stunning sunset, with the sky turning into beautiful hues of pink and orange every evening. The lighthouse offers two options for visitors - a self-walk around by paying $5 or book for a guided tour at $15. Additionally, it serves as an excellent location to observe southern whales during their migration season.
we visited Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. The sky was partially covered with clouds, giving the place a dramatic yet peaceful atmosphere. From the top, the views stretched endlessly over the coastline, turquoise waters meeting rugged cliffs, with waves rolling in the distance. The site is steeped in history, and as we explored, we learned about the lighthouse’s role in guiding ships and protecting sailors over the decades. Standing there, surrounded by fresh ocean air and the sound of the wind, it felt like stepping back in time while still being deeply connected to the beauty of the present moment.

Great place to visit. The lighthouse tour is well worth taking to understand the history of the site. Amazing place to see whales from the lighthouse balcony and also the viewing deck.

Great location with lots of different hikes suitable for any fitness level. Only had two hours, but managed to see some whales at the whale watching outpost and also visited the historical lighthouse.
Baz P — Google review
Nice for a quick sightsee. Used to be free but now $6 per adult or $3 for a child over 4+ or $17 for adult to do a trip up and a tour of the actual inside of the lighthouse. Not the end of the world but nevertheless added costs for families planning a trip to see it just so you’re aware. Facilities have also been revamped and improved. Wheelchair access friendly also.
Ssidewayz — Google review
Beautiful lighthouse with a chance to spot whales. There is a kids playground in the entrance and a cute little museum for the kids, lighthouse seems to be well maintained, stunning view all around!
Sonia L — Google review
You can pay a heritage fee (under $10) to view the area, or you can climb the lighthouse for a higher fee (under $20). We chose to walk the lighthouse loop track which gave us some view of the lighthouse but a lot of entertainment from the whales who were frolicking and playing. A beautiful sight.

Amazing! Loved every bit. The cheese is of course incredible, staff are lovely, stayed in the Bush Cottages, it was so sweet and beautiful, cheese platter on arrival, marshmallows for hot chocolate (it’s the small things that make a stay). Comfy beds, peace and calm on the verandah looking at the sheep and wildlife while completely devouring cheese platters! Sheep milking was very interesting, dogs were gorgeous and so hard working, got to pet King and Oliver. A great weekend, we will be back…a lot 🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely staff with great customer service. Did a little cheese sampling and could really taste the uniqueness of the cheese. Very friendly toward our kids and even offered the brave one a sample (cheese was a bit too strong for the kids, but great for mum and dad). Great sampling of other local products. Almost missed it but saw their sign as we were driving through and decided to stop by. Glad we did!

Lovely place, lovely cheese! We were given 4 different cheeses to taste- soft to hard, and mostly cow. Absolutely tasty, and we ended up buying the Camembert home :) and polished the whole thing with crackers, wine, and pizza in 2-3 days! 🤭
Priscilla P — Google review
Wonderful cheeses, and a good array of other local products from the area (chocolate, honey, dried fruit, kitchen items like handmade mugs and cool cheese knives made from old Nannup saw blades). Really nice atmosphere. There are a couple tables out front to sit at, and also a small play area for kids off to the side. They do cheese tastings. An essential visit for us any time we're in the area. Consider bringing a freezer bag and freezer blocks with you if you intend to buy cheese but aren't heading home for a few more hours, as is often the case if you're out and about checking out all the wonderful produce in the region!

Had no idea we’d be able to try the best cheese on the way somewhere. Wonderful to know about sheep cheese and how great it tastes when I didn’t even know people eat sheep milk. The blue cheese wasn’t too smelly but tasted amazing. Highly recommend.

This was a little gem hiding behind trees. First thing we saw was their Clydesdale, his name is Ollie. Then into their shop where they sell cheese made from sheep and goats that they milk on farm twice a day. They get cow milk from another farm close by. They also sell sheep and goat milk which is expensive compared to what you buy from the shop BUT it's fresh with cream on top. They also sell some other knick knacks. A lovely place and so glad we stopped 🙂

Busselton Jetty

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Heritage building
Piers & Boardwalks
Busselton Jetty is an iconic 1.8-km wooden pier in Western Australia, featuring a train, underwater observatory, and interpretive center. It is a popular spot for swimming and beach activities along Geographe Bay. The Heritage Trail walk starts near the jetty at Railway House, offering cultural significance and connections to the region's timber industry.
Immaculately kept, run by the friendliest volunteers. 1.8km long so quite walkable, otherwise the little solar powered train can be taken. Buy tickets beforehand, if you have purchased online you still need to collect physical tickets. The train waits for 10 minutes before the return trip unless you have booked the underwater experience then it's 1 hour & 10 minutes. Other than that you walk back. On the day we went we were lucky to have a couple of dolphins
Rae R — Google review
It’s amazing how far the jetty goes when into Geographe bay. You can walk it all the way to the end or you can take the train by booking a ride. You can also add a ticket to the Underwater observatory where you descend down a set of stairs to go the under the sea to view the sea life that uses the underwater reef piles as their feeding ground. Quite therapeutic to stand there and watch the fish. Afterwards you can also visit the Marine discovery centre for some extra insight.
Shaun L — Google review
A unique ocean observatory experience! Though set in the middle of the ocean, the observatory sits at a modest depth of just 8m—yet it’s incredible how marine life has transformed the legs of the structure into their own thriving habitat. Getting there is part of the fun too: you can either enjoy a leisurely ride on the slow-moving train or take a scenic walk by foot. A fascinating and family-friendly way to connect with the underwater world!
Cheng C — Google review
Really lovely day out. If you’re into fishing, snorkelling or just a fun day out, busselton jetty is a must when you’re in the area. It’s a bit of a shame that the main area is so small and the second you get away from the shore, it seems like theres bot a whole lot to do… however the beaches are great, and you get a lot of souvenirs and info at the jetty info center as well as the main visitor center. Overall recommend going to see this place! We did the ultimate experience off-peak for 50$ each, includes ride on train both ways, the underwater observatory (breath taking experience!!) and the marine discovery center. (Unsure if the discovery center is worth it but all in all, great experience)
Caz — Google review
Busso Jetty is one of many places I take people to in my tours through the region. It has great history, amazing community volunteers who are all fabulous & is a great local attraction rich in many stories. Definately worth a look whether its just for a few happy snaps or a train ride & underwater observatory visit. Highly recommended.

Well worth a visit, don't hesitate. We enjoyed every aspect, from the informative history to the underwater view at the observatory. Many pics, take the train if 1.8km walk is too long for you.

Today was our second time visiting Busselton jetty! And we loved it just as much as the first we visited! This time we went down to the underwater observatory, and it was so cool seeing the fish in the ocean and the coral on the jetty's posts! We had some fish and chips once we got back to the foreshore!

Nice place for a stroll, have been in Autumn & it was spectacular with the leaves changing colour and falling. This time late October it's still pretty but there is a lot of sheep roaming in there & you have to keep your eyes on the ground because the droppings are all over the paths & difficult to avoid! Wear an old pair of shoes. They have long drop toilets & picnic areas.

Tuart Forest National Park is a vast natural reserve that boasts of unique Tuart trees growing on coastal limestone. It features various hiking trails and stretches along the coastline, with Ludlow North Road to the west and Bussell Highway to the east. The area around this park is filled with beautiful scenery, and visitors can enjoy a tourist drive leading to the old mill town of Ludlow by following Ludlow Road. However, littering remains an issue in this natural haven despite its rich history.
Very short little walk but still great to learn. Good little pavilion to sit and listen but be protected from the rain.
Jesse W — Google review
1.4km Possum Spotlighting Trail was nice by day walking thru the rare Tuart trees, walk starts just where Layman Rd turns off west of Tuart Drive. 2 picnic tables, interpretive signs, and signs to loos, but couldn't see where the loos were! Short boardwalk also out to Malbup Bird Hide (but it was almost dry late March & only 1 heron in sight, lots of midges, and signs re mozzies - for tons of waterbirds instead we drove a short distance south to James Richardson Park on Estuary View Drive). We did see Fairywrens, a Ringneck Parrot, Gerygone and Bronze wings on the Possum Trail by day. Empty on a Monday. Signs recommend also coming at night to walk the trail and spot night animals and birds. Picnic Area also across the main road.

Creekside walk lined by thousands of model gnomes donated by visitors & set out among gum trees.
First we were aware of it was as we drove past and said "What the". The kids would love it, particularly the youngens. We thought it was pretty good as well. A small parking area, but not a lot of room if you have a van. It does meander for a good 300+m, so take your time. Bring a gnome and find a home. There would be 10 000 + gnomes in various poses and groups. Plenty of space for wheelchairs, and there are toilets as well.

Holy Gnomey, there are a LOT of gnomes here. There's so many more gnomes than you think. It just keeps going. We brought our gnomes to add to the collection, chose a cute lil spot for em.

Great place to visit for all ages, its beautiful location is surrounded by farms and forests so a lovely drive to get there. When you see Gnomesville you will feel like you have been transported into a fairy tale.

We stopped in for a light meal after hearing great things about this place, and it didn’t disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved spending time with the friendly store dog - it added such a warm, welcoming touch. We were a little disappointed there weren’t more cheeses available for tasting so 1x star off for that, as we would’ve loved to try (and likely buy) a few more. That said, the cheese we did purchase was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Another cheese factory worth visiting. Aside of course, from their wonderful selection of cheeses, they also sell other dairy products. It's a must visit when you're around this area. They have other interesting products like jam, oils, ice cream, crackers, chocolates, organic soap and a lot more. Free tasting of cheese. For dine in customers, orders are placed and paid at the counter. Quick service, friendly staff. Gin tasting is also available by appointment only. Their toasties is good with gooey cheese and best paired with a good cup of coffee. Other wood products like cheese boards and wooden spoon are available.

A great location and venue. Can see why it's busy on a Friday early afternoon for lunch. Nice menu with quite a lot to choose from which comes from what looks to be a small kitchen. Service is polite and although there was a little bit of a wait for the food, it was understood noting the number of customers there. Food very tasty... we went for the nachos and Captains burger. Highlight of the visit was the stroll in the gardens and along the river afterwards. Easy parking close by. We'll visit again.

Fabulous multi- level challenge, family activity. Our group of 8 had age ranges of 5 to 57 and there was a course for everyone. I was impressed with the time spent in the trees, the safety equipment, the training and the overall professionalism. Make sure you complete your waiver when booking to save time. Picnic tables to sit & eat, & a cafe to purchase coffee and a few bites. Both physically and mentally challenging depending on the course you complete but a fabulous experience overall.

Had an amazing time at Tree Top Adventure with my family. The staff were approachable, friendly, and very professional. Before the session began, they gave us clear instructions and ensured everyone was confident and well-trained with the safety equipment. It suddenly started raining heavily during our session, but that actually made the whole experience even more exciting and memorable a true rain-soaked adventure! The courses were well designed, safe, and suitable for all ages. There’s also a separate Junior Course Adventure for kids, which is a great way for younger ones to join the fun safely and build confidence. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for outdoor fun, teamwork, and a bit of thrill with nature

Such a great experience. The safety is top notch and the adrenaline exciting. So many courses for all ages and all capabilities. My zip line came off when I launched a bit too jumpy and Jayden came to my rescue and helped get me back to a platform, having to pull me myself! Didn't make me feel bad or like I was a fool or inconvenience. Everyone was so helpful. They helped with my husband who wears a turban to accommodate and were very kind and respectful. They moved our booking to a more convenient time. Highly recommend for kids and adults!

The treetop adventures were absolutely beautiful and I love the scenic area, please give me likes for my review: I just love the scenic nature and people working. They were also very nice and they have lots of information providing the details of the flora. The gift shop was also nice as I bought a few souvenirs.

The location and crew are great! So are the different tracks. Not enough time, managed only 2 tracks, 2.5 hours, because of supervising the younger kids. Family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids 21, 11 and 5. Price is a bit high, 270 AUD...
Eric B — Google review
Well worth the journey, the kids had a great time on the junior course. It was a real confidence boost as they got to grips with the different elements and by the third go around, could manage it all themselves (ages 5 & 6). Update: 6 years later the kids are 11 & 12, had a brilliant time, managed their first red course and we all loved the blue run that was zip line after zip line. Even on a warm day (32) it was nice and cool in the trees, shady with a light breeze. The staff were very friendly again, genuinely nice, helped the kids relax. The 2.5 hours went so quick, was glad we brought some sandwiches. Was thinking about camping here there's some nice looking sites next to here. But even with the 1.5 hour drive from Perth and back, we thought it was well worth it.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the restaurant train last night. We had been wanting to try this for a while and it did not disappoint. From start to finish all the staff (volunteers) were friendly, professional, accomodating and polite. You can tell the effort they put in to make it a great experience for the passengers. The food reminded me of lovely home cooking and we were so full by the end. The train itself was clean and quaint. We highly recommend this experience to others looking for a unique experience and we’ll be returning for one of the day trips in the near future.

Wonderful piece of railway history. Nice scenic ride through the forest and farmland. The whole organization is run by volunteer and enthusiasts and you can feel the love and the positive vibe throighout. I went on a Sunday afternoon and was able to get ticket on the spot. The ticket office has many memobrilia on sale and worth a look. The train and carriage is an older type similar to slow train in Thailand. There is a canteen on board selling drinks and snacks. The ride itself is around 2hr. It travels at only 10-15km/hr in a back and forth path. It would have been nice if there was something to interact at the stop. Tip: Wild flower was starting to bloom on 31 August. If you visit in September it should be in full bloom.

Volunteers should be congratulated in providing this unique service, as the time required, not only to provide the journey experience, but also to maintain the train and carriages would be substantial. Before you head off, please ensure any children or others travelling with you can tolerate dogs in confined spaces. The 2 hour journey takes you through jarrah forests up and down the Darling Scarp where in places the track has a 7 degree gradiant is a pleasant way to relax and unwind, while appreciating the varying landscape. This seven degree gradient is the steepest around, and a 5 minute stop is required to build up the pressure in the boiler before tackling it.

Ranger Red's Zoo & Conservation Park

9 lists 
Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Ranger Red's Zoo & Conservation Park, located in Pinjarra just 20 minutes from Mandurah, offers a unique hands-on experience with over 100 species of birds and animals, including the Tasmanian devil. Visitors can participate in the Zookeeper 4 a Day program where kids can take on various zookeeper duties. The personalized care and passion of the staff for the animals are evident as they take time to educate visitors about the residents.
I think, Amazing, sums this place up pretty well. Plenty of close ups of the animals, including hands on experiences that you don't always get with the larger zoo's. The variety of Australian animals is perfect, the animal encounters are fun and informative, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely perfect place to take the kids or spend with your significant other. 5 out of 5 stars for sure.
Kale J — Google review
Heartbreaking honestly, I had fond memories of this place but today I did not recognize it. It feels abandoned.. and in dire need of maintenance.. my kids felt sorry for the animals. - Cages rusted and damaged - next to no greenery in most cages/pens - some cages are mislabeled - no signage for empty cages - some habitats don’t support the needs of the animals they house - saw no staff apart from the guy we paid, pretty sure there was a teen working for them but plain clothed so unsure - 4 adults, 4 kids and some food for the animals - $170 This place need a serious financial injection or should be shutdown. I honestly don’t understand the 5 star reviews, expectations for zoo standards should be much higher
Alex M — Google review
I read some of the reviews before visiting. While I understand some of the negatives, I did ask some of the staff questions. Yes Red might be on reception during opening hours, his in the park before & after opening hours. The animals have regular vet checks. Staff are approachable & quick to attend to any animal issues. The facility is 40 years old so yes it's old, but always receiving on going maintenance. There's a board next to the Koala enclosure that explains what it costs to run & maintain. Overall, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that isn't always obvious to the public eye and Redz Zoo is a wonderful place to bring your children and family to enjoy real authentic interactions with Australian Wildlife.

Penguin Island

Island

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled just off the coast of Rockingham, Penguin Island is a delightful haven for wildlife enthusiasts and beach lovers alike. This picturesque island boasts the largest colony of little penguins in Western Australia, making it a must-visit destination for those eager to observe these charming creatures up close. With its stunning white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, Penguin Island invites visitors to bask in the sun or take part in various water activities like kayaking and dolphin cruises.
Fun and unique activity relatively close to Melbourne. An experience closer to doing a safari than visiting a zoo as you get to witness animals in their natural habitat and routine. Highly recommend if you don’t mind the wait especially under colder winter conditions. Very professionally ran and quite friendly even for seniors on wheelchairs.
Sheila C — Google review
This is a place where animals come first. As a human we felt we were a guest on this island. We didn’t see many penguins since they were out fishing but we saw loads of pelicans and seaguls. Would definitely recommend it. You can go swimming, snorkeling or kayaking

A perfect spot for day trip. Short ferry ride to the island with a nice picnic area. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, relaxing and there is a 30 mins guided tour. Clean toilets but no rubbish bins on the island. There is also a e-locker ($8 for medium or $12 for large).

Beautiful island. We saw a few penguins and a sea lion in the wild. Lots of lizards and other bird species breeding on the island. There is a ferry out to the island, however we did a kayaking day trip with Rivergods kayaking tours to both Penguin and Seal Islands. What an amazing day! Highly recommend seeing the islands this way.

Amazing gem along the WA coast. 6 minutes from Shoalwater, Rockingham. Swimming, snorkeling, trail walking along pristine beach. If course watching the penguins in the discovery centre. Sadly their numbers in the wild dwindled from 2000 to 150 & the centre will close mid year. You could walk around the island in one hour. In summary: Highly recommended.
Ahmed M — Google review
Penguin island is a really small island just a few minutes of ferry ride away off the coast of Shoalwater, Rockingham. However, contrary to the name, penguin sighting in the wild on the island is as rare as a hens tooth! Fortunately, there are a few penguins at the small discovery centre that visitors can visit throughout the day and also at dedicated feeding times. The highlights of the visit for me is however not only the little penguins but the rugged coastlines and the short walking trail loop on the island. The views are truely amazing and will make great picnic spots for cooler summer days.

A great place for family outings. The waves and tides are low and safe, but later we noticed several jelly fishes and the area is very commercialised. There is environmental pollution emitting from the factories 🏭 and they take away all the natural outlook of this beach ⛱️ There are several playgrounds.

Spent a lovely afternoon here. It wasn't crowded and it was really just a few families and small groups relaxing on the beach at the time. The water was super clear and calm and it was refreshing to walk there. There are a couple of cafes nearby so you can grab a coffee or a soft drink. You can also wash up in the showers once you're done.

I recently visited Rockingham Beach and had an absolutely amazing experience. I went there specifically to catch the sunset, and it did not disappoint! The sky lit up with the most beautiful mix of colours shades of orange, pink and yellow blending over the calm waters. It was truly breathtaking. There are also lovely walking paths, seating areas, and plenty of space to just sit back and soak in the beauty. Whether you’re going for a stroll, a quiet moment of reflection, or a romantic evening, Rockingham Beach is a perfect spot.

Beautifully clean and safe beach. Water is completely safe with no rips or currents. In summer there is two pontoons you can swim out to. The jetty is used for fishing and docking boats however you can also jump off it just watch for fishing hooks. There is a sandbar and the water is relatively shallow so I recommend this beach for kids. The facilities around the beach are also great, the grass is well maintained and the toilets are relatively nice. There is many different playgrounds along the foreshore for different ages of children. There is a ramp on the sand for wheelchairs to be able to head closer to the water.

Serpentine Falls, situated in the Serpentine National Park about 55 kilometers southeast of Perth, is a picturesque waterfall surrounded by ancient forests and wetlands. The area has a rich Aboriginal history and offers opportunities for swimming and picnicking. Accessible via a short 500-meter walk from the car park, the falls are popular among visitors due to their easy accessibility and facilities such as BBQs, toilets, and picnic tables.
Incredible waterhole. Currently (June) the water was similar temp to an ice bath, approx 5 degrees. We loved it, very awakening and refreshing. You will get out warm inside. Crystal clear water and beautiful surrounds.
Michael S — Google review
This is a really nice area to come for a picnic or barbeque. There's a number of spaces available to utilise the tables or bring your own chairs or blanket. The toilets are fairly reasonable and I did see the staff ensuring that they were clean and stocked up. The walk to the Falls is pleasant enough aside from rude people who have no awareness of seniors or people who aren't stay on their feet. At this time of the year the Falls are magnificent and it's good to see plenty of water there. It is astounding that at the entry you get asked not to feed the kangaroos and there are also signs asking people not to feed wildlife.....and yet they do what they want to get a photo of themselves or their kids feeding the kangaroos 👎👎👎 It's also astounding that people have no idea what a "One Way" sign is for and drive off to exit the park going against oncoming traffic. The place is terrific and there's a number of hiking trails too. There is a parking fee of around $17 but if you have a National Parks Pass then you can enter for free, but the staff will need to see your pass and confirm that it, and the vehicle, are both valid.
Paul S — Google review
It's very small height fall. The entrance fee is 17 AUD. However one can enjoy the Hiking near to the falls. Serpentine Falls is a beautiful natural spot, perfect for a day trip from Perth. The waterfall looks amazing after rain, and the surrounding national park has great walking trails with plenty of wildlife — we saw lots of kangaroos. There are picnic and BBQ areas, toilets, and good parking, making it family-friendly. It can get busy on weekends, so going early is best. A lovely place to relax in nature and enjoy the scenery.

**Serpentine Falls, located within the stunning Serpentine National Park just an hour's drive south-east of Perth, is a classic Western Australian natural beauty spot that makes for an ideal day trip.** The drive is easy, and the destination offers a wonderful blend of scenic views, accessible nature, and picnic opportunities. **The Star Attraction:** The main draw is, of course, the waterfall itself. Cascading 15 meters over a smooth granite rock face into a large, inviting rock pool, the falls are particularly spectacular after the winter rains (typically **late winter to spring, August to October**). Even when the flow is reduced in the drier months, the tranquil pool and polished granite surroundings are beautiful and a popular spot for photography. **Visitor Experience & Facilities:** The area around the falls is very well-maintained. * **Accessibility:** The main Falls Walk Trail from the car park to the lookout is short and largely accessible, making it great for all ages and fitness levels. * **Picnic Area:** The grassy picnic area is a real highlight, featuring excellent, clean gas BBQs, plenty of shaded tables, and clean toilet facilities. * **Wildlife:** Western Grey Kangaroos are frequently seen grazing in the picnic area, adding a wonderful Australian touch to your lunch. *Remember not to feed them!* **For the Adventurous:** If you're after more than a quick photo and a picnic, the park offers excellent bushwalking: * **Baldwins Bluff Nature Track (6km return):** A moderate climb rewarded with panoramic views over the Swan Coastal Plain and the falls from the summit. * **Kitty's Gorge Walk Track (14km return):** A longer, more challenging hike that follows the Serpentine River and Gooralong Brook, showcasing the park's lush forest, granite outcrops, and, in spring, stunning wildflowers. * **Arrive Early!** Serpentine Falls is extremely popular, especially on weekends and in summer. The park frequently **closes once capacity is reached (often before 10 am)**, so plan to arrive right when it opens at 8:30 am to guarantee entry and a good picnic spot. * **Swimming Safety:** While swimming is a popular activity in the rock pool, visitors should be aware that **jumping and climbing from the rocks is prohibited and dangerous** due to submerged hazards and varying depths. Water quality also varies, so check for local alerts before getting in. In summary, Serpentine Falls is an essential, highly-recommended Perth day out. It's a fantastic spot for a relaxing family picnic, a short nature stroll, or a challenging bushwalk—just remember to set that alarm!

Great weekend hiking spot! Absolutely loved this place! Not so much water falling, but it was prestine and beautiful! The Waterfall itself is suitable for older people, as it's very short walk, but there are other trails that go around the falls if anyone wanted tk do extra workouts! Go during monsoon season to get the best experience!

Cohunu Koala Park is a family-friendly destination where you can interact with Australian wildlife. Located in a 14-hectare natural bushland, this park offers the opportunity to feed and hold koalas, kangaroos, and other animals as you wander through designated tracks and pathways. In addition to native fauna like kangaroos, deer, parrots, and emus, there's also a farmyard area with ponies, pigs, and donkeys.
Wonderful place to hold Koala in your hands and feed them , only thing is the smell around the place is quite unpleasant. Otherwise the place has very good views of kangaroos, ostriches and birds . Kids will love to see the place

Very child friendly! Adults can see it's badly in need of funding, looking run down and old but kids don't take notice of those sorts of things. I took four children aged 1-8yrs and they had a great time feeding animals from their bags of popcorn (bought from reception). There's a variety of caged animals but also lots of different animals walking freely around the grounds! It was fun to see the kids meet goats, deer, alpacas, geese, peacocks, emus, kangaroos and more - just wandering right up close for a pat without needing to look over the fence or thru a cage!! Quite unique.

We’ve been to this wild life park since they were in Armadale, great to see the improvement on the koala area, koalas were quite active on the time we visited, we even got to see a baby koala, my kid had such an amazing experience holding a koala. Emus and geese inside the park can be a bit aggressive towards the popcorn bags but they can be easily shoo off (a couple of geese bite on my kids pants, no harms done and the kids found it funny), suggesting not to let young kids holding the food bags or they can be easily snatched away by the birds. We saw wombats and crocodile in the enclosed area, met some peacocks, donkeys, ponies, lamas and deers on the way to the kangaroo pan, kangaroos and wearables are super cute, there were quite a few with Joey in their bags! We had such a great time there!

Went there for a Koala experience. Place is rundown. Broken fixtures everywhere. Filthy, stinks and empty. Some animals (not all) look in bad shape and depressed. Was quite sad to see the state of the place. The place is truly overpriced for the state it is in. Not worth $80 (includes entrance, photo with koala and feeding wallabies).

Adventure World is Perth's premier theme park, offering an array of thrilling rides and attractions for visitors of all ages. The park boasts over 25 exhilarating rides, including the award-winning Abyss roller coaster and the enchanting Dragons Kingdom. Additionally, Adventure World is set to unveil a $7 million mega water slide, making it the steepest, tallest, and longest of its kind globally.
Just loved Adventure world! We've been to the 2 water parks in Melbourne where we live and all the theme parks in Gold Coast. Honestly didn't expect much in Perth but wow we're we surprised. The roller-coaster was super fun! Only about a 5-10min wait, I loved how the split the line from front and back seats so it's faster. Personally I think the ride could have been faster but still great. The Goliath was epic, a must see. Cracken was great too, very similar to the ones in the east with little wait. Go karts go about 30kmph so a little slow but kids loved it, you need a tshirt and closed shoes. We had our 3yo with us, so we spent a lot of time at the toddler/little kids area. Great space and so many rides. I think adventure world beats all the east theme parks in this department. The kids were there for 2hours and will loved it. Loads of car park space, lockers and toilets for everyone. Highly recommend going.

Definitely come to Adventure world during the weekdays between morning to afternoon, there is less rush and you’ll make your money’s worth by coming. Sure is one of the most expensive parts of Perth, but utilising your season pass will pay off the fun. Perhaps one of my favourite rides was the abyss, the dynamic and the thrill gave an excitement which made me go on for six times. Food on the other hand was satisfactory, I ordered cheese pizza which was quite expensive considering how small it was, it came out quite burnt. Luckily, the lady was nice and gave me another pizza but it was still burnt. But I’m not a fussy eater so I ate the pizza anyway. Overall Adventure world is costly but it is a nice place with a nice environment and SpongeBob like song choices. It’s a family fun environment and has great ride options however they should add a lot more rides. The cost is way too much so you should get the season pass. Overall four star rating

We’ve been Adventure World season pass holders for two years now - mainly because it’s right next to our son’s ice hockey training at Cockburn Ice Arena, so it’s been a convenient place to unwind after games. Last year, we went four or five times and had some great experiences with friendly and proactive staff. However, our recent visit (Sat 18 Oct) was disappointing. The park was crowded (as it often is), and we waited around 40 minutes for just one ride. It’s a consistent issue - if you’re there for only 2 hours, you’re lucky to experience three or four rides. What made this visit particularly unpleasant was an incident on the pedal ride (the one where you cycle around the park) at 16 55 pm on Sat 18 Oct (giving you the exact time so you can find out who was working on the ride then - 2 young ladies - and provide them with adequate training). A group of teenagers behind me repeatedly bumped into my carriage, even after I asked them to stop. It eventually caused me to be pushed into a staff member at the unloading area, who initially thought it was my fault. Although the situation was later understood, it was disappointing that one of the attendants chose to turn it into a joke rather than handle it seriously (her exact words to the teenagers were: so, are you gonna pay me money to forgive you for your behaviour?) It didn’t feel professional or safe at all, and there was no: so sorry you had to go through this - zero empathy (instead I was accused of bumping into the attendant on purpose). Adventure World has a lot going for it - beautiful grounds, fun rides, and family-friendly facilities - but staff training really needs improvement. Team members should be better equipped to handle guest behaviour, have difficult conversations respectfully, and maintain a sense of authority without escalating situations. We always bring our own food because the food lines are long and prices are quite high when the park is crowded. Unfortunately, after this experience, we’re reconsidering renewing our season pass next year.

I had such an incredible day at Adventure World Perth, and I have to give a special shoutout to two amazing team members — Joe at the Inferno ride and Trinity at the Kraken! Joe was absolutely fantastic — friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even more exciting. He hyped everyone up before the ride and kept the atmosphere fun and safe at the same time. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and wants everyone to have the best time possible. Trinity at the Kraken was equally awesome — super welcoming, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable before the ride. She had such a positive attitude and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Both Joe and Trinity went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Their energy and friendliness are what make Adventure World such a great place to visit. Thanks for an amazing day — can’t wait to come back!

She gave great directions around the park, engaged with my daughter asking her questions which made her day. She had the same positive attitude for when we got there until we left when they closed! Thank you!!

I would recommend this park for families with young children or teenagers. However, the weight restrictions did impact our visit, as we were only able to go on a few of the waterslides. We now realise this information is noted on the website, but it would be helpful if it were made more prominent. The monorail has also changed to allow only one adult at a time, which made the experience feel a little underwhelming after waiting in the queue. We brought our own food and drinks to save money, which worked well, and the locker system was excellent. The rides were fun but limited and we thought it would be great to have small TV screens displaying ride photos to help keep guests entertained while waiting in line. Overall, we would definitely recommend the park to visitors under 90kg, as they’ll get the most out of the experience.

Specialty Museums
Situated on the shore of the Indian Ocean, the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle is a captivating waterfront attraction that offers a glimpse into Western Australia's maritime heritage. The museum features various galleries showcasing the state's deep connection with the ocean, displaying leisure boats, sailing vessels, and commercial pearl luggers. Visitors can explore iconic vessels such as Australia II, which won the America's Cup, an Oberon class submarine named HMAS Ovens, and Jon Sanders Parry Endeavour.
This museum vertically turns it from a small building full of old boats into a 360 experience. Being able to see exhibits from above and below really makes this museum pop! Handy elevators give full access to all abilities. Each exhibit is lovingly dressed, resulting is in a feast for your eyes. For the wee ones there is A craft area on the ground floor, including a colour in digital aquarium. Plus a boat that you can enter and spin the captain wheel. An excellent cafe and bathroom facilities are also present

This is a world class museum that has been refurbished not long ago. I planned to stay there for half a day, but ended up spending a whole day there. I am glad that I visited the museum before starting my WA tour. The exhibits and the related explanation provide very comprehensive background information on the sites that I was going to visit. This made the tour so much more interesting. There is an admission fee of $15.

Great space and area to stay around for the day. The museum does a great job at utilizing architectural techniques that transforms the space into a flowing environment demonstrating and showcasing stunning and awe inspiring pieces perfectly staged within the building. Very fun for middle aged children with plenty of things to do

Loved this place Awsome day out just a short train trip from Perth city and 2x markets and restaurants close walking distance. Ferries available and large Ferris Wheel near by.

If you're going to see the submarine during school holidays, book in advance. The website is terrible and hard to find booking button, so just be aware. Easiest to just google "HMAS Ovens Tour" and click first link that cones up. I had mum over from melb, and she had specific questions which the manager helped us out. He was amazing, so big thanks to the staff there. Syd who gave the submarine tour was also amazing, ex submariner who knew everything in detail. Fantastic opportunity, must do. Few tight spots and stairs though for oldies.

The Maritime Museum is a fascinating and peaceful place to visit. It’s free to enter and offers a unique look into naval and war history, with well-preserved exhibits and engaging displays. The location near the beach makes it an ideal stop for a relaxing yet educational outing. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Traditional market
Sights & Landmarks
Fremantle Markets, established in 1897, is a bustling indoor market offering a wide array of goods including food, local produce, clothing, and handicrafts. The market is housed in a historic building and has become a hub for local talent, supporting fashion designers and musicians. Visitors can also enjoy nearby attractions such as bookshops and boutiques along South Terrace. Additionally, the area offers dining options ranging from inspired bakeries to fish markets.
Definitely go and check out this place. It was quite busy but worth fighting the crowds. Food was absolutely in abundance. Lots of stalls to look at and the atmosphere was terrific. The fruit and veg stalls were super fresh and if I lived locally I'd definitely be a regular visitor.

Pretty nice place to walk around! The market’s split into two parts — one side has more products and goods, the other side is the food and wet market. The goods are mostly the usual market items, but still fun to browse. The food section is the highlight — lively atmosphere, good smells everywhere, and lots to try. Worth a visit if you’re in Fremantle!
Eunice Y — Google review
Pretty small and not the most amazing of markets I’ve been to. There’s some food on the other section that was interesting like Burek and Tibetan but I think if you’re really tight on time you can skip this place. Only the coffee beans store I saw was truly unique. The market also has started having pop mart and labubus popping up, making it more commercial than i thought. Interestingly the urinals are pretty cool, first time I’ve seen them like this.

If it's your first time visiting, this iconic market must be on your list! It's a small market with local artisans. Could be crowded if you come around lunch time on a sunday. We rounded it twice, once to have an overview & the second time to buy what we wanted. The honey cake was a standout imo. It was so so good! Maybe just have a slice.. or two! We also tried Lola's giant spring roll (crispy pork) which was also good and very filling. A bit on the oily side but the vinegar and sweet chili sauce makes up for it. Perfect tasty snack!

A must-visit in Perth – full of life and local charm! Fremantle Markets is one of the best places to experience the real Perth vibe. The atmosphere is vibrant and colourful, with buskers playing music, the smell of amazing street food, and people from all over the world wandering through the old heritage halls. I loved the mix of handmade crafts, vintage clothes, Aboriginal art, fresh produce and international food stalls — there’s something new around every corner. The building itself is beautiful and full of history, which makes the visit even more special. It gets busy on weekends, but that’s part of the fun — the energy is incredible. Everyone’s friendly, the food is fresh, and the music gives it a great local feel. If you’re visiting Perth, you can’t miss Fremantle Markets. Go during the day to catch the live buskers and soak in the atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who loves local culture, food, and good vibes!

-Nice place to visit for FREE. with a lively local vibe and lots of interesting stalls. However, it’s more of a one-time experience, once is enough. -Kindly note the trading days of this place. -There’s a toilet available, but seating areas are quite limited, so it can be tricky to find a spot to sit and eat. -Surprisingly, there weren’t as many yummy food stalls as expected. -Overall, a fun stop while in Fremantle, but not something I’d return to often.

What a bustling place this is. Full of independent and food stalls it was packed when we visited and this was only a Sunday in early Spring. It’s an historic old building worth a walk through and a browse. It was the vibrancy that struck me. Almost as manic as a Turkish Bazaar.

Fremantle Prison

Museums
Cultural landmark
Fremantle Prison is a significant historical site, serving as an interactive cultural exhibit on convict life. It offers tours and features a cafe for visitors to explore. Located in the town of Fremantle, this large penitentiary is the state's first jail and the largest structure built by convicts. The area also boasts other attractions such as the Western Australian Maritime Museum, which overlooks the Indian Ocean and showcases various maritime artifacts including a winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II.
I joined two tours consecutively, True Crime and Behind Bars. The entire experience was great! From the moment we stepped in, all the staff were very welcoming and helpful. From the guy I assume was acting as concierge, the receptionist lady, all the way to the guides. They all made our experience seamless. Sylvia was our guide for the true crime tour and she was absolutely lovely! If you get the chance to join her tour, you're in for a treat! She was an ex prison officer at the Fremantle Prison, so her stories were even more chilling from a first person perspective. But her humour balanced it out perfectly. It was interesting to learn that most of the guides earlier on were prison officers but I believe Sylvia is one of the last of these guides. Annette was our guide for behind bars and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. I also appreciated how she constantly acknowledged the presence of Aboriginals in the history she talks about. Certainly would want to come back for tunnel tours if we are in Fremantle again.

We took the 4 PM guided tour at Fremantle Prison and found it genuinely interesting. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the historical insights were well presented. It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re curious about Western Australia’s convict past and prison architecture. However, we were quite disappointed by the lack of clear information beforehand. We had called in advance and were told that the site was only accessible via guided tours, and that there was no walk-through museum. Based on that, we scheduled our visit around the tour. Unfortunately, after the tour ended, we discovered that there is in fact a museum area at the front of the prison. No one mentioned this to us on the phone or when we arrived, which was frustrating. By the time we finished the tour, those areas had already been closed off, so we missed them entirely. It’s a real shame, because we would have planned our visit differently had we known. Clearer communication would have made a big difference.

Visited yesterday and got to see and learn some more history of this great town of ours.. Was very interesting listening to the stories of early pioneers and convicts that shaped our city. Walking through the prison was thought provoking, certainly was tough on the occupants throughout the years.

We visited the Fremantle prison today (Tuesday) around 12.15pm and was luckily told there was a Behind the Bars tour at 12.30pm. There are other tours that goes on at different times and the Tunnel tours. We only opted for the one tour where we only had 6 other people in this tour group. Our tour guide was James. He was very humorous and engaging. James made the tour fun and interesting. Thank you James for making us giggle! Had a great time learning about the history of the prison and the life of a prisoner. Would definitely want to the other tours another time when I visit Perth again!!! NOTE it was not busy on this tour Ticket price: AUD 24pp Duration of tour: 1 hour and 15 mins

I didn’t realise how incredible this place was until I got there! The visit was truly impressive,full of atmosphere, history, and emotion. Walking through the old cells and hearing about the early days of Western Australia gave me a real sense of what life was like back then. A must visit if you want to experience the true heritage of WA.

We did the Behind Bars tour with Dave - perhaps the most animated and fabulous story teller I have come across! He made history come to life and everyone was captivated with the stories of the prison’s past. Such a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back to do some of the other tours on offer!

Highly recommend the Wednesday night Prison Torchlight Tour! Our guide was truly outstanding; their storytelling was superb, making the history feel incredibly real and interesting. It was a perfectly timed about 1.5-hour tour and was very reasonably priced. A fantastic night out that's excellent value for money. (Just a heads-up: parking will cost about $7 extra.)

I was surprised at how large the detention facility was. The guide was very thorough in explaining things. You can also borrow audio guides in other languages ​​for free. You cannot tour the facility unless you make a reservation for the tour. I recommend making a reservation by phone.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Cottesloe Beach is a stunning, patrolled beach with white sand that offers various water activities such as swimming, diving, snorkeling, and surfing. The southern section of the beach is calm and shallow, making it safe for children, while the northern section provides good waves for body surfers. The beach features a picturesque pavilion nestled among grassed terraces and tall pines overlooking the ocean.
Wow what a sunset over the Indian Ocean. Have never seen so many people sat down just watching a sunset. Cottesloe is a special place and it seemed fitting that we ended the Perth leg of our trip watching the sun go down. Awesome.

Clean ocean, well maintained foreshore paths, the beach itself however has too many submerged rocks which combined with the waves can be dangerous at times.

A beautiful beach although for whatever reason it’s sometimes very smelly with seaweed. The exercise park is great although the 5G tower from the OBH emits some seriously high levels of EMFs, which point directly at it. Overall I do like it very much

A must-visit for anyone in the Perth area! Cottesloe Beach truly lives up to its reputation as one of Western Australia's most iconic and beautiful beaches. The moment you arrive, you're greeted by a stunning expanse of pristine white sand and crystal-clear, brilliant blue water of the Indian Ocean.

Beautiful beach for a relaxing stroll. The sea breeze is super refreshing, and the sunset view is amazing — very peaceful vibes. There’s also a small playground nearby, so kids can have fun while adults enjoy the scenery. Parking is available along the roadside, which makes it convenient to visit. Great spot to unwind and enjoy nature.

If you’re looking for a must-visit spot near Perth, Cottesloe is definitely worth checking out. It’s a beautiful beach with a lovely atmosphere, and you’ll meet some friendly people there. Plus, you can witness the stunning colour changes throughout the day. It’s a truly magical place!

One of Perths best beaches! Best to get here early for prime parking. Swimming beach and surfing beach, separated by wharf. There's a few free shaded beach bungalows on the beach and plenty of shade area on the grass.
