Forest Region Accommodation & Holiday Rentals

Forest Region is the country of the tall timber, and the source of the wood which paved the streets of London in the eighteenth century! The area boasts five national parks and caters to forest tourism.

A self driving tourist might make their way from Margaret River through Nannup to Bridgetown to begin the forest route through the tall timber country to Denmark in the South. Allow several days for this picturesque journey, don’t miss its many attractions, stay in a number of its finest self contained accommodation where you will meet the locals and get hot tips on seasonal attractions.

PEMBERTON

Remains a timber town with an operating mill. Old cottages are preserved for historical interest, the mill is a forest information centre and there is a marvellous interpretive tram ride through the tall trees.

Pemberton’s wet winters and warm dry summers are perfect for wine production. Local vineyards specialise in chardonnay and pinot noir. Wine-tasting and fine food are options not to be missed.

The Fine Woodcraft Gallery markets the best West Australian artisanal furniture to the world. Export can be arranged for foreign buyers keen to take advantage of the relative low cost of Australian fine furniture.

The town also boasts a unique Botanical Art Gallery where the finest of our working artists display and sell works which demonstrate a passionate and scientific love of the flora of the South West.

MANJIMUP

Once the centre of the district’s forestry industry, is now the gateway to the forest experience. The Warren National Park, 3131 hectares of protected forest, boasts some of the best accessible virgin forest and the tallest Karri trees. The Maidenbush Trail is a great drive through the park and follows the Warren River for much of the time. There are designated camping spots on this trail and some popular trout fishing and marroning spots in season. Canoeing is also a favourite on the Warren River.

The annual Harmony Cherry Festival is a promotion of local produce and a good time. Come in December and get involved.

BRIDGETOWN

Settled in the 1850s, Bridgetown has numerous lovely old farming homesteads nestled in its rolling hills and along the banks of the Blackwood River.

It has always been home to art lovers, musicians and gardeners ... and they’re an entrepreneurial lot! The town hosts a number of unique events organised by locals with a passion for the town. Time your visit to get involved in one of them!

The Blackwood River Chamber Festival, founded in 1997, is a small, high-quality, annual festival of chamber music. Most of the five concerts are held in St Paul’s, a 100 year old Anglican church, which has a marvellous bright acoustic perfect for Chamber Music.

Blues at Bridgetown is the South West’s premier music festival, attracting around 16,000 guests. It delivers a smorgasbord of superb musical talent and performance workshops, supported by a free Street Party on Saturday.

The Festival of Country Gardens enlivens spring and autumn when more than twenty gardens are open to the public. The Festival Guide (available on line and at the Visitors Centre) includes many support events such as wildflower, town garden and ornithological walks.

WALPOLE

Is near the Valley of the Giants in the Walpole Nornalup National Park, home to some of the tallest trees in the world. The world famous Tree Top Walk allows visitors to walk through the canopy of the forest.

The tranquil rivers, inlets and adjoining wilderness areas provide a wide range of activities. These include fishing, canoeing, white-water rafting, bushwalking, power boating and skiing.
