Yarloop accommodation from NZ$196

You'd have to be a Wally to head off without exploring all the other fabulous attractions on offer in Southwest. Photograph Southwest's rural landscapes, beaches and cliffs. You could also explore the region's history museums. Visitors in this fabulous part of Australia enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking.

It is well known that New Zealanders are pretty chilled, so consider extending your stay and check out the Back Beach, Big Swamp Wildlife Park and Dolphin Discovery Centre, which you'll find in Bunbury, 50 kilometres to the southwest of Yarloop. Some of our recommended Bunbury hotel options include the Rose Hotel & Motel and Discovery Holiday Parks - Bunbury Village. Or, you could stay in Mandurah, 50 kilometres to the north of Yarloop, where you can pick from the Quest Mandurah and The Sebel Mandurah. Regardless of whether you're passing through or spending a few nights in Mandurah, set aside a little time to visit the King's Carnival, Abingdon Miniature Village and Mandurah Community Museum.

Travellers arriving or departing via Brusselton Airport may like to book a bed at the Busselton Guest House or the Inn the Tuarts Guest Lodge Busselton, which are both a short distance away.
