    The outdoor gift shop at the front of the business is a garden-lovers’ dream, featuring an ever-changing selection of windmills, wind spinners, bird baths, water features, garden art, sculptures, outdoor furniture, rusty art, and more.

    This is the place to find your next statement piece for your garden. There is also another collection of garden art and pots at the back of the property near the nursery.

    Inside next to the cafe, explore the well-stocked shelves for ornaments, glassware, jewellery, candles, soaps, diffusers, books, wind chimes, and indoor pots.

    We stock many locally and Australian made brands including Bramble Bay, The Soap Bar, Coast to Coast and Alfresco Gardenware.

    There’s also a great range of WA-made gourmet fare including olive oil by Regan’s Ridge, Swan Valley Fudge, and condiments by A Bit on the Side.

  • Activities

    There is plenty to explore at Swan Valley Station

    Marron Lake & Sculpture Trail

    Before or after a coffee, stretch your legs with a walk around our huge five million litre marron lake, with a big blue marron at its centre.

    Although we don’t offer marron catching, once a year we do have marron on the lunch menu for the Harvest in the Swan Valley.

    The man-made marron lake was developed as a unique point of interest for the Swan Valley, a new industry that diversifies from the region’s viticulture. 

    Marron are of interest to locals as well as interstate and international visitors who are encouraged to stay a little longer to learn about this unique crustacean, Western Australia’s biggest freshwater crayfish.

    The marron share our lake with silver perch which are available to catch; see the fishing information page (link).

    The Swan Valley Station sculpture trail is something to behold. It features more than $300,000 worth of life-size and over-sized horses, kangaroos, pelicans, a stunning boab, and other pieces depicting uniquely WA animals and or plants.

    Some of the sculptures you might see include the Kangaroo Paw by Will Wilson, Frilled Neck lizard by Stephen Rowe of Austech Illusions and Giant Rusty Daisies by Martin Jaine.
