Maalinup is the Place of the Black Swan, which acknowledges our location here in the picturesque Swan Valley, Perth, Western Australia. The Swan Valley is the oldest wine growing region in Western Australia and home to great wineries, restaurants and attractions. You can make a day of it or stay in one of the many accommodation options.
We are just 35 minutes from the Perth CBD. A “must see” stop on any trip to the Swan Valley.
