Hovea lies next to John Forrest National Park, 30 minutes drive east of Perth.

The hills and valleys of the area contain large tracts of native bushland, perfect for walking and picnicking. Visit local wineries and craft shops to sample fine, homemade produce and art.

The section of the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail that extends to Wooroloo runs through both the National Park and Hovea.

Enjoy an overnight stay in a traditional bed and breakfast on a natural bush block close to John Forrest National Park.
