Your Perfect Weekend from Perth
Friday Evening
Leave Perth after work. The 1-hour drive melts away the week's stress. Arrive to valley views, light the BBQ, pour a glass of local wine, and watch the stars come out. No agenda, just peace.
Saturday: Explore
Wake up to birdsong. Feed the sheep and alpacas over morning coffee. Then explore:
- • Wine tastings at Chittering Valley cellar doors
- • Lunch at a local winery or cafe
- • Browse Bindoon township and local produce stalls
- • Evening: cook dinner with local ingredients, enjoy a movie, or stargaze by the fire pit (seasonal)
Sunday: Recharge
Sleep in. Slow breakfast on the verandah. Take a bushwalk, visit the Bindoon Mountain Bike Park, or simply read a book in the garden. Check out by 10am and head home feeling genuinely refreshed – not exhausted from your "break".
