PERTH HILLS ITINERARY
ONE DAY
IN THE PERTH HILLS
THREE DAYS & TWO NIGHTS
IN THE PERTH HILLS
Begin your adventure in
Kalamunda, the creative heart
of the Hills. Start with coffee and
pastries at local café Mason &
Bird, before browsing the town’s
markets. Take in sweeping views
from Lesmurdie Falls or Lions
Lookout, where the landscape
stretches to the city skyline.
Wind through the Bickley Valley's
scenic orchards and vineyards,
where during summer and autumn
you'll have the opportunity to stop
in at the local farmgates to shop
for local produce. Enjoy a relaxed
wine tasting and long lunch of
seasonal fare and valley views at
Plume Estate, or soak up the lively
atmosphere with the locals at the
Kalamunda Hotel.
In the afternoon, join Off The
Beaten Track WA for a guided hike
through native bushland and learn
about the work of Kaarakin Black
Cockatoo Conservation Centre.
Finish your day with sunset views
over Mundaring Weir and a drink at
the historic Mundaring Weir Hotel.
This self-drive journey reveals the
natural beauty and country charm
of the Perth Hills. Begin in the south
at Serpentine–Jarrahdale, exploring
Serpentine Falls and forested trails
before a long lunch at Bistro by
the Dam. Continue to Armadale
to wander Araluen Botanic Park or
join The Hike Collective on the Six
Seasons Trails Series, ending the
day at The Good Paddock or the
Last Drop Elizabethan.
Base yourself centrally in
Kalamunda in a cosy B&B, vineyard
cottage, or tiny cabin beneath the
stars. Browse the Sunday Farmers
Market and local stores, enjoy
views of the city from Lesmurdie
Falls, and venture through the
Bickley Valley for tastings at
Myatts昀椀eld Vineyards, Core Cider
or Lawnbrook Estate. As evening
falls, book a Night Sky Tour and
stargaze at the Perth Observatory.
Finish your adventure in
Mundaring and Gidgegannup,
exploring Mundaring Weir,
Noble Falls and Paruna Wildlife
Sanctuary before a cheeky wine
tasting at Lion Mill Vineyards — the
perfect 昀椀nale to your Hills escape.
