Ellensbrook at Mokidup

After a couple of days of low shrubs, windswept trees, rocks and sand Ellensbrook made a pleasant change. We came through early in the morning so nothing was open. Still, I wondered what it must have been like to live and work along this section of the coast. The walking trail turns inland here past the old homestead.

Wonderful to visit this place with such significant history for Busselton
Well worth the trip, make sure you go for a walk on the trail to where the waterfall is
it wasn't flowing when we were there but a beautiful walk nonetheless

Ellen brook its another word for serenity. It has a waterfall 30 mins from the house location and you’ve got a huge greenish space to look around and humming birds in spring. ✨

A WA historic gem in an exquisite location with bush walks, beach, history, photography, birding.... all to be enjoyed by family or special interest.

An interesting insight into the origins of the Margaret River region, named after Ellen Bussell who arrived at the site with her husband Alfred Bussell in 1857.

They’ve recently completed a reinterpretation of the site and added new information boards and reestablished the water wheel.

A lovely location, well worth a visit.

Rustic but beautiful beach, just a short walk along the path from the homestead. Swimming not ideal for littlies..rough, big waves. Fine garnet red sand is something unique.

So many memories here. Loved the place.
I won’t tell anyone about the secret cave…..

Fantastic place to have a picnic ans a walk around. Really enjoyed

Fantastic to see the heritage retained and well looked after.
Interpretive story panels are excellent.
Great mix of indigenous and colonial heritage.

Beautiful place for a walk, so green and lush

Closed for Covid in August 2020 .. but was still a very nice walk ..

This was well worth the stop. I've been to MR multiple time and never been here. The tourist information center told us about it. Informative and historical story of the area. Got some small hikes. We got the $20 family pass for 4. Otherwise it's $10 but worth it, it's a mini museum.

Other hidden treasure in southwest. Can go with family picnic and enjoy the fresh air. In addition part of the cape to cap walking trail starts here. 30 min up and down for waterfall.

Went during December so there was not much water in the river and it was closed but was worth it anyways for the nice scenery and walk trails.

The inside was closed the day I visited but the grounds were open as were the walks. Most definitely worth a visit. Next time I will make sure they are open 🙂

Lovely for picnics & walks.

Great place to learn our past history. Best done by the wonderful people from the Undalup Association.

Closed over xmas hols. Walk 800m upstream to reach a creek grotto, which has a 30m deep cave. Not worth going further.

Ellensbrook is a National Trust WA building. 35 minutes south of Dunsbourough off Caves Road, near the coast. Great walking trails, in the area.

Nice little walk, few seats along the trail, very relaxing.
