Dining In Dwellingup

 

GREAT FOOD WITH GOOD FRIENDS

Amid fertile valleys and towering forests lies a foodie haven — a place where you can savour boutique ciders and wines, devour deliciously hearty meals, indulge in fresh local produce, or simply enjoy a cold brew at a historic pub. It is all here and right at your doorstep in Dwellingup, just over an hour's scenic drive south of Perth.

Dwellingup Hotel

The historic 'Dwelly' Pub has been serving cold beers since the early 1900s, surviving the 1961 Dwellingup bush fires, and is one of only two community-owned pubs left in Australia. Enjoy a counter meal for lunch or a leisurely evening meal in the dining room. The kids will love the space to move in the enclosed outdoor area, feasting on fish and chips or a woodfired pizza. Dig into a tasty parmi or juicy steak and chips with an ice-cold pint, or treat yourself with a hearty winter feast and a nice red wine.

Longriders Café & Restaurant

There’s a distinct home-grown flavour at Longriders, with locally sourced produce inspiring the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. From the coffee beans freshly roasted in Mandurah, to the grass-fed beef from the Peel region, Longriders deliver an authentic paddock-to-plate dining experience. Choose from freshly prepared stonebaked pizzas, mouth-watering burgers or indulge in delicious smoked meats from the specials menu. The restaurant is fully licensed, so you can sit and enjoy a local craft beer or wine.

Wine Tree Cidery

Immersed in the forest of the stunning Holyoake Valley is Wine Tree Cidery. The small batch wines and ciders are only available for tasting at the cellar door, with the ciders made from Australian apples. There are some extraordinary tipples on the list, such as Plum Blush Wine, Strawberry Wine, and Honey Quince Port. Keep an eye out for kangaroos as you relax on the deck and savour a grazing board while overlooking the orchard.
