Eat + Play + Shop
One of the many joys in living around Applecross and its surrounds is the multitude of places to eat, snack and indulge at. This is an ongoing list of our favourites and recommendations that we feel you mustn’t miss while staying with us! While some are renowned and popular, some of these finds are only what a local would know about the place, so dig in and read on from dusk to dawn.
With the Swan River right next to us and a bevy of reserves dotting the neighbouring suburbs, it’s difficult to stay bored in Applecross. This is our (non-exhaustive) list of things that we like to do when we are not making your stay perfect! If Applecross was synonymous with the Swan River, it should also be linked to the many great shopping destinations in its surrounds. Other than the one of the bigger malls in the state, Applecross is also home to many a fashion boutique that dots the Jacaranda-lined streets. Here are some of our favourite haunts.
