With its quaint historic buildings, heritage trails and proximity to the Swan Valley, Guildford makes the perfect weekend base. You can easily spend an entire day here wandering through antique stores, dining at cafes or relaxing by the riverside.
If you’re looking for fun weekend activities to try around Perth, then you’ll be spoilt for choice here. Read on below to discover some of the best weekend catch-up spots around Guildford.
Kings Meadow Reserve
If you’re in the mood for a picnic lunch, it doesn’t get much better than Kings Meadow. This relaxing riverside location has BBQ facilities and a dedicated picnic area in place, right where the Helena River and Swan meet. It’s a great spot to sit and relax, but be mindful of snakes during the summer months because the area where the two rivers meet is a frog habitat!
