Dwellingup is a small country town situated in the Peel Region, Western Australia. Just 100km south of the Perth GPO and 43km inland from Mandurah, Dwellingup is an easy days outing. Surrounded by forest and with the Murray River close by the area has become one of the principal playgrounds for outdoor recreation and education in the Perth region. Visitors seeking an intimate experience with the natural environment or perhaps a more interactive experience will find that Dwellingup and its surrounds have plenty to offer.

The Bibbulmun Track passes through the town centre. Long distance walkers resupply from the town’s general store or perhaps enjoy a short break resting weary feet for awhile. Day walkers use Dwellingup as a start/finish point for shorter walks.

The Munda Biddi long distance mountain bike trail passes through Dwellingup on its way to Albany. A number of shorter single track days rides including Marrinup and Turner Hill are close. The longer Waterous Loop is also also nearby. Dwellingup and surrounds are rapidly gaining Mecca status for mountain bikers.

A wide range of accommodation providers offer facilities from bush tent camping, caravan parks, bed and breakfasts, cottages or luxury chalets. Hotham Valley Tourist Railway run regular steam hauled trains from Dwellingup and run the popular Etmilyn Tramway on a regular timetable. The world class Forest Heritage Centre offers a unique look at the area’s forest heritage. Enjoy a number of cafes that offer take away and dining or visit our Community Hotel, one of the last in Western Australia still owned by the community.
