Activities
So much to do on the farm! Or simply RELAX.
Lavendale Country Retreat has plenty to do if you want to just relax close to “home”. The river is a very peaceful place to walk along. It is completely natural and the only paths are made by kangaroos. In places it is hard going, but finding a nice place to sit on the bank is worthwhile. It is a Wheatbelt river and may be dry in summer, but even then, it is wonderful just enjoying the peace and nature at its rawest.
Always wear boots when walking in the bush. The sandalwood plantation is great to wander through and enjoy the many native spieces of acia which host the local genus of Sandalwood Spicatum.
We do not have scheduled, formal activities, but this may change over time as we restock the farm.
Lavendale Country Retreat is located about half way between York and Beverley. Half an hour from Northam and an hour from Toodyay. All great towns to explore.
We are pleased to announce that our lap pool is now open for use. The pool is 20 meters in length with a consistent depth of 1.2 meters throughout, and it does not have a shallow end. Please be advised that children must be supervised at all times and are not permitted in the pool area without an accompanying adult. As there is no lifeguard on duty, the safety of children is the sole responsibility of their guardians. Kindly bring your own swimming towels for your convenience.
