Kalbarri Reef Villas

Kalbarri is an unspoilt town with attractions both land based and on the water. For wildflower lovers you wont find anywhere better in Australia than Kalbarri National Park. From July until November (depending on the rain) the park is transformed into a mosaic of colour with over 800 species of West Australian native wildflowers.

The Murchison River provides the family with a great area to swim, go sailing or fish for whiting, tailor, bream and mulloway. It is also home to blue manna crabs as well as mud crabs and a variety of shell life. Over a few million years the Murchison River has carved a gorge through the ancient and photographic Tumblagooda Sandstone. Thousands of visitors are drawn to Kalbarri each year to experience the wonder of the Murchison River.

Over 200 varieties of bird life, including eagles, pelicans and wetland waders inhabit the waterways. A river cruise up the river mid morning or late afternoon promises an experience to remember...bring your camera!

The river gorges offer spectacular views of the Murchison River from such vantage points as The Loop and Z Bend lookouts. The Loop is so named because here a section of the Murchison River twists and forms enormous loops. At the Z Bend, the Murchison River flows through a narrow ravine which provides an ideal location for canoe safaris. In the lower reaches of the Murchison River you can take a canoe trip that includes a great Aussie breakfast as well as the opportunity to see the local 'wildlife'.

From Red Bluff the coastal cliffs extend 13kms south to the parks southern boundary. Well located access roads into the coastal gorges will provide visitors to Kalbarri ample opportunity to view the rugged cliffs and whale watching in season (approx July through to October ~ the whales dont have a calender!). Dolphins are also local to the area and can be spotted from the cliffs playing and feeding in the waters below.

Offshore fishing is another major attraction at Kalbarri with charter boat operators who have fantastic knowledge of where the fish are hiding. They can also show you the dolphins, whales and the coastal cliffs at sunset. If you prefer to bring your own boat thats fine (as long as its bigger than a dinghy for the ocean!) or you can hire a boat whilst you are here.
