Mellenbye Station

Heading north from Perth, Mellenbye is our first stop. This is a working cattle station and a great place to come and escape the 9 to 5. There is a variety of accommodation options to suit all travellers as well as an airstrip (in case you were wondering if you can fly in). The station offers visitors the opportunity to take a guided scenic tour around the property with a 17-seater bus also available to carry visitors who don’t have a 4WD. If you are looking for something a little different, there is also a tram ride out to Burra Lake and even a monster truck. As long as guests have fully equipped 4WDs that are suitable and prepared for outback travel, you can also self-explore marked trails around the station. There is a large variety of birdlife, with the station proving popular with bird watchers. It is also a great location for star-gazing and astrophotography. The region is world-famous for wildflowers. Mellenbye is an excellent place to base yourself as you explore the surrounding area. The nearby towns of Morawa, Yalgoo and Mullewa offer historic buildings and a glimpse back into the state’s pioneering past. With the variety of accommodation options, the property is a great venue for large group bookings, weddings, birthdays, family reunions and private functions. Best time to visit: Easter, April school holidays, ANZAC weekend and July to October (the station is also open other times of the year with prior arrangement). Wildflower season is usually best between late August to late September (seasons are affected by the amount of rainfall and how hot it gets). For more information or to book:
