Things to see and do at Evedon Lakeside Retreat…
Evedon Naturescape
Let the kids explore, climb and conquer the fort. With balancing logs hand-picked from the property, stepping stumps and balance beams, the kids will have a ball. Located near the restaurant and seating to follow at the Naturescape, parents can enjoy cakes and coffee while the kids play.
Bush Walking Trails
We’ve just completed the maps of our three new walking trails, ready for you to set out on a family adventure, a solitary ramble or a day of exploration with friends. Each trail has a barbecue along the way, so you can stop for lunch and refreshments and enjoy the beauty of nature.
The red trail is perfect for families with small children or people who just want to go for a wander in the bush. This short walk takes you to barbecues, where you can sit and relax over lunch and let the kids have a play.
If what you want is a long, scenic walk, check out the blue trail. While it is the longest of the trails, it is an undulating and relatively easy walk that takes you through beautiful countryside with views of Bunbury and the Ferguson Valley.
For those walkers with a taste for adventure, check out the yellow trail. This walk will take you up steep inclines, through stunning rock formations and iconic grass trees surrounded by natural bushland.

Fishing
Bring along your fishing rod and tackle and try your luck for the Red-Finned Perch in the dam! Guests have caught Perch that are 40cm long, so why not give it a go?
Kayaking
Fancy a paddle on the dam? We have five kayaks available free for guests to use, with oars and life jackets provided. Perfect for kids and adults alike!
Guests are welcome to bring their own kayaks and canoes.
Evedon Lakeside Gallery
We love showcasing the work of local artists and artisans to our guests. Evedon Lakeside Gallery is always changing to reflect what’s new – including local artwork, hand crafted wood work, homemade soy candles and soaps, and hand illustrated cards and bookmarks of local birdlife. We even have our own range of home-made jam, chutneys and preserved. Come and check out the locally made arts and crafts!
Wildflowers
Spring is the time for wildflowers in bloom! It’s beautiful all year out here, but there’s something special about those first few weeks of sunshine with blooming flowers and a flowing waterfall. Whether you book an overnight stay and spend a day exploring for wildflowers along our walk trails, or just drop in for a Devonshire tea and a ramble, now is the time to come out and explore! The Monarach butterflies will soon be out and enjoying the sunshine…
Discover the Ferguson Valley
Spend the day exploring! The Ferguson Valley region includes art galleries, wineries, boutique breweries, and the quirky Gnomesville, all a short drive from Evedon Lakeside Retreat. Experience the best of nature in the Ferguson Valley’s national parks, forests, and riversides. Local walking and mountain bike trails offer spectacular views, wildflowers in season, wildlife sightings and general relaxation away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
