We recently did a 3 night stay at a lake view chalet at RAC Karri Valley resort. We had a 3 bed / sleeps 8 cabin for $490 a night and it was definitely a lovely view! the layout of 2 QBs, 2 singles and a bunk mostly worked out for us once we got through initial teen/tween dramas about who got the bottom bunk and could turn it into a fort lol.
On day 1 we checked in at 3pm and did some exploring around the waterfront plus our youngest tween holidayer had an awesome time swimming and jumping off the pontoon. We had dinner at the lakeside restaurant on site and while the food was really good…you were definitely paying a “location tax” for the pricing! The view from the table was beautiful however.
Day 2 we headed off as a group of 5 to ride the Pemberton tram! This was fully booked out a few days ahead so I was glad I had been organised and precooked. The trip out had some excellent commentary and then we wandered around the cascades for a little while before returning back on the tram. I definitely recommend this for tourists!
We headed to the Pemberton hotel for lunch afterwards (average….very average) then back for some more swimming, relaxing and tacos for dinner before movie night in the cabin. We stopped in at southern river chocolate factory on the way back to the resort….yum.
Day 3 we stayed at the resort all day and did the 3.2km loop walk up to Beedelup falls. It was a really pretty walk although steep in some parts and I had to stop a few times.
Some of us (not me) then went canoeing on the lake which was apparently great fun and a recommended activity for next time. Dinner was at the lakeside restaurant again (easy and no cooking) followed by games night. Team “Gen X” won!
Home time the next day! A lovely short stay in a beautiful region.
