The best area to stay in Porongurup is within the Porongurup National Park itself, or in the immediate vicinity along Porongurup Road.
This area is characterized by its natural beauty, with accommodations located amongst marri and karri forests, offering views of the ancient Porongurup Range. Most guesthouses and chalets are situated off Porongurup Road, which winds through the park, providing direct access to hiking trails and lookouts.
For couples seeking a quiet retreat, staying within or very close to the national park is ideal. The secluded settings of many accommodations provide privacy and a close connection to nature, superb for enjoying the scenic walks like the Granite Skywalk at Castle Rock or birdwatching directly from your veranda.
Families will also find this area suitable, as many accommodations offer self-contained rooms with kitchens, allowing for flexibility with meals.
