Winter at Walpole: what to know before you come
Frosty mornings, fires in the chalets and the river at its most still. Getting here, phone signal, food and what to pack.
Winter is a quiet, beautiful time at the centre. Mornings are crisp and often frosty, the forest is deep green and the river is at its most still. Here’s what helps to know before you come.
Your questions
Fly from Perth to Albany, then drive about 90 minutes. Or fly from Melbourne to Busselton and drive about 2 hours 40 minutes. You can also take the TransWA train from Perth to Bunbury, then a coach to Walpole. There is no airport pick-up at the moment.
Only on Telstra and Telstra-based networks. Many guests find the patchy signal is part of the point.
All meals at the centre are vegan. There is no alcohol, smoking, meat, eggs, dairy or drugs on the property.
Warm layers, a rain jacket, and shoes you don’t mind getting muddy on the walk down to the river. The chalets have heating.
Nearby
The Giant Tingle Tree and the Tree Top Walk are a short drive away, and well worth an afternoon.
