Harvey Region is home-grown heroes and heavenly beaches, happy days and hillside chalets. Only 90 minutes from Perth and 90 minutes from Margaret River, you’ll find the spectacular Harvey Region; a place of endless beaches, rolling hills, outdoor adventures and amazing local produce!
Comprising the localities of Harvey, Australind, Myalup, Binningup, Benger, Brunswick Junction, Cookernup, Yarloop, Wokalup and Roelands, there’s so much to discover in the Harvey Region.
Many of the big food guys are here, including Harvey Beef, Brownes Dairy and Harvey Fresh. To the east, the Darling Scarp and its ruggedly beautiful jarrah forest, lush greenery and natural waterways are an adventure playground with spectacular views. Water-lovers can head west to experience the Harvey Region’s 42 kilometres of virtually untouched coastline.
We are hidden gems waiting to be discovered – come find us this winter.
FOOD EXPERIENCES
Say Cheese
A visit to the Harvey Region wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the iconic Ha Ve Harvey Cheese. Producers of award-winning cheeses and cultured butter, Ha Ve Harvey Cheese features free daily tastings, factory viewing, dairy memorabilia, amazing ice-creams, and locally made crafts and preserves.
Oranges Galore
Winter is orange season in Harvey and the best time to sample the area’s most famous produce. Of course, you haven’t had the full Harvey orange experience until you’ve climbed the Big Orange at Harvey River Estate. One of the South West’s major attractions, this 14-metre tower sits high above the beautiful orchards and is a great way to take in the region’s magnificent views.
Hops Lovers Haven
The Harvey Region is home to an impressive range of boutique and family-owned wineries, breweries and distilleries, each with its own unique charms.
Visit Harvey River Estate, The Skipworth Wine Company, or one of our other many award-winning family wineries to sample locally grown Chardonnay, Shiraz and more. For an extra special experience, visit Vineyard 28 to experience their Taste of Italy Tour. Take a walk in the vineyard to learn how the grapes are grown, head to the winery for a behind-the-scenes look at their wines being made, and finish up at the cellar door for a flavour association experience.
Brugan is a must-visit for craft beer enthusiasts. The modern, industrial-style microbrewery is nestled in the heart of Wokalup and backs onto the Wokalup Tavern, known affectionately by locals as the ‘Woky’. Closer to the coast, Treendale Farm Hotel is one of the largest and most popular pubs in the South West, offering classic pub meals, big pizzas, outdoor dining and kids’ areas, as well as live music!
Another family-favourite in the region is Old Coast Road Brewery near Myalup. Old Coast Road Brewery is ideal for a relaxed afternoon, enjoying delicious food, craft beers and ciders, artisan spirits – you can even bring your horse! The brewery and restaurant overlook the 18-hole Wonders of WA Mini-Golf course, which features replicas of Western Australia’s many iconic destinations.
TRACKS, TRAILS AND DRIVES
For the road-trippers and adventurers out there, the Harvey Region has no shortage of tracks, trails and drives for you to explore. Hike the stunning Wildflower Ridge Walk off Honeymoon Road, admire work by local Noongar artists along the Noongar Kaartdijin Bidee art walk, or stroll around Lake Josephine in Yalgorup National Park - a picturesque lake that turns bright pink in winter thanks to the Red Samphire blooms.
By the coast, walk or cycle the Leschenault Waterfront Historic Trail along the Leschenault Estuary foreshore, or hop in the car for a drive through the famous paperbarks of the Cathedral Avenue Scenic Drive. The region’s other well-known driving route is the Beela Valley Scenic Drive, which will wind you through the Beela Valley and lush farming country.
Want to get off-road? Drive your 4WD straight onto the sand at Myalup Beach, Belvidere Beach or Buffalo Beach. Keen MTB riders will love the Harvey Region section of the famous Munda Biddi Trail - the world's longest continuous off-road cycling track. Jump on at Logue Brook and set off on your adventure!
And don’t forget to look out for the unique town entry statements at Harvey, Binningup, Brunswick Junction, Clifton Park, Cookernup, Myalup and Yarloop as you travel around the region.
ACCOMMODATION AND CAMPING
Is there anything better than cosying up by a wood fire on a chilly winter night? The Harvey Region has a wide variety of cottages, cabins and chalets to call home during the cooler months – here are just a few that we have to offer...
Honeymoon Hideaway, just five kilometres north of the Harvey townsite, is the perfect tranquil getaway for those looking to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature. For chalet accommodation with breathtaking views, you’ll want to visit Bluehills Farmstay, Vista Ridge Estate or Harvey Homestead. And for families looking for an immersive farm stay experience, Roswa Park invites guests to help collect eggs, feed Hanna and Isla (the adorable Dexter cows) and give Dolly the Shetland pony a brush.
Head to the beach to take in ocean views right from your doorstep. Myalup Beach Caravan Park, Binningup Beach Caravan Park, and Australind Tourist Park are all great places to set up if you want quick access to the water and the true coastal experience. Or, take to the sky for a unique getaway at Binningup Treehouse Eco Retreat – where you’re sure to be greeted by some of the friendly birds that live in the peppermint tree surrounds.
Camping is popular all year round in the Harvey Region (especially at the Leschenault Peninsula Conservation Park) and wet winter weather can’t stop the fun. Lake Brockman Tourist Park, on the shores of Logue Brook Dam and surrounded by the beautiful state forest, has a range of cabins available – as well as private glamping tents with lake views!
