Baldivis & Karnup

Perth Aqua Park

BEYOND THE COAST, YOU’LL FIND THE HIDDEN GEMS OF BALDIVIS AND KARNUP FRAMED BY TOWERING TUART TREES.

Enjoy tranquil, welcoming country atmospheres when visiting Baldivis and Karnup – two communities not to be overlooked when exploring the region.

Baldivis holds tucked-away treasures, with Baldivis Children’s Forest being one of our all-time favourites. Thanks to the local community’s efforts, this unique 20-hectare conservation reserve is open to the public and remains a beautiful spot to take the family on a day out.

With magnificent flora and fauna to discover as well as barbecue facilities, this bushland haven is a great way to explore the outdoors with your little ones. If you’re visiting during the colder seasons, you might want to wear some gumboots!

Another picturesque setting, Golden Ponds is a hub that has it all. Set on 100 acres of charming countryside and surrounded by stunning lakes, it’s the ultimate wedding destination, weekend getaway, spot to eat or place to fish. You can even catch marron!

Speaking of food, awardwinning Brother of Mine is a top recommendation for a satisfying breakfast or lunch with a welcoming community atmosphere. Roasting their own coffee on site, enjoy the freshest of brews and wholesome ‘Full English’ breakfast to wake you up in the morning.

Whitelakes Brewing might pique your interest if it’s a laidback lunch you’re after. And for those looking for authentic italian, Catalano and Co will not disappoint.

As the region’s oldest winery, Peel Estate Wines celebrates over 40 years of history. This charming winery regularly hosts a series of family-friendly live music events. Simply bring a picnic and savour the relaxing atmosphere and natural surroundings – and of course, a glass of wine (or two)!

Look out for the regular high tea and music and markets events held at Peel Manor House, too.
