Northcliffe is a small rural town with a population of 600 people, approximately 366 kilometres south of Perth. Dairy and beef farming have supported the town for nearly a century. 50 tobacco farms were developed for ex-servicemen; this made a considerable impact on Northcliffe. The timber industry became a significant source of employment, and more recently grapes, marron, olives and walnuts have been successfully introduced into the region. Just 30 minutes south of Northcliffe you will find the only sealed access to the D’Entrecasteaux National Park. This road leads past the entrance to Lane Poole Falls, Boorara Tree and the 187 metre high Mount Chudalup. After a moderate 30 minute climb you will see some beautiful views of the park and Meerup sand dunes. The D’Entrecasteaux National Park is world renowned for its unusual botanical and geological features. This park has 131 kilometres of sweeping sandy beaches, interrupted only by foaming near shore reefs. Beautiful remote areas are accessible by four wheel drive vehicles. The Bibbulmun Track (a world class 1,000 kilometre walking trail) passes directly through Northcliffe, making it an ideal place to begin sectional walks. Special overnight accommodation rates and supplies are available. Other walk brochures mapping trails through old growth forests and alongside local rivers are available at the Tourist Centre. The hardwood forests produce Northcliffe’s fresh air, pure water, wildlife habitats and plant diversity. Enjoy the warmth of glowing log fires in Northcliffe’s accommodation options and marvel at the clearest of night skies. The range of accommodation includes hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts; several farm stays, self contained chalets and three caravan parks, one of which takes dogs. Dining options in Northcliffe include hotel, restaurant and cafe food. Takeaway is also available.
