Discover the forest on a tranquil  walk , take a cruise down the Donnelly River or  for those of you who love adventure at an exhilarating pace, take a 4WD trip through the Yeagarup Dunes. You choose! We would be happy to make your booking for you prior to your arrival

1. Four wheel drive tours take you to see the best of the karri forest and the coast with the spectacular Yeagarup Dunes. The blaze of wildflowers are certainly a feature in the springtime. ..or if you lack the experience why not consider a tag-along to explore these out-of -the-way places with a professional guide.

2. Why don't you organize your group to have a winery tour. You will be collected from the resort and brought back home safely. A fun day out!

3. What about a guided bush walk? An experienced and knowledgeable guide will lead you on a leisurely stroll or take you for a hiking/camping experience over several days.  

4. Take a tour to see the workings of a trout hatchery- King Trout do it so well.

5. The boat cruise down the pristine Donnelly River takes 31 passengers. This four hour tour operates daily.

6. Take a nostalgic Steam Train or if you like, learn how to drive the engine. See the karri forest by tramway travelling over many streams and brooks on wooden trestle bridges. The tram goes twice daily.

Tempt the taste buds and pamper the body!

  • Jams and preserves made from home-grown fruit and berries, sauces, oils, lotions, creams and toiletries are all available and all made here in Pemberton.

  • On your leisurely drives,  look out for roadside stalls offering apples, peaches, berries, nuts, avocado, strawberries and a host of vegetables.

Wetting A Line

...and for the One That Can't Get Away

  • ...and visit the fabulous award winning wineries and cafes... something to excite even the most discerning visitor...

Climbing Trees

  • Visitors will enjoy the thrill of climbing one of the three climbing trees in the area - the Gloucester Tree, where the birds will come and eat seeds from your hands, the Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree. The Beedelup Falls and Big Brook Dam are also worth a visit.

  • Within an hour's drive from Donnelly Lakes you can find long stretches of secluded white beach, which offer exceptional surf, fishing and four-wheel-driving experiences. You are within leisurely day drives of Margaret River, Augusta, Nannup, Manjimup, Denmark and Walpole with the famous Tree Top Walk.
