Long day trip from Perth.
In a nutshell
like being on another planet
aussirose Says: We we had been living in Perth for 6 years before seeing this place. During this time a lot of vt'ers have been through and I have been asked on numerous occasions if it is worth a visit. Well I can now confidently say 'Yes!!' it certainly is worth the trip. However my tip...
aussirose Says: From the Pinnacles, we headed towards Cervantes for lunch. A few miles down the track we came across a sign encouraging us to visit the Stromatolites. Well they looked interesting, and none of us had heard of them before, so we decided to go check them out. Wondering if the...

best western hotel: Good tucker
Openseas Says: The Best Western Hotel offers excellent meals for such a small seaside village. The food and wine list is surprising good. Hubby had the lobster and I opted for the lamp chops which were delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful.There is a small bar attached if...

Openseas Says: The drive takes approx 2.5hrs - 3hrs from Perth depending on traffic conditions. The road is a Bitumen two lane highway which at times can be dangerous with all the heavy machinery and road trains being transported up the highway to the mines. It is safer to travel at day...
There is a very small village shopping centre in town which has a good supermarket, bottle shop and a couple of cafes. Its only tiny so the variety is limited but its efficient.
Cervantes General Store
2 Cadiz Street CERVANTES
The bottle shop in Cervantes is called Thirsty Point Liquor Shop, which I think is apt !

Openseas Says: The road is a Bitumen two lane highway from Perth to Cervantes,which at times can be dangerous with all the heavy machinery and road trains being transported up the highway to the mines. There is also major roadworks happening at the moment (DEC 2007).
No Amex is accepted in Cervantes or Jurien Bay shops. So make sure you have some cash or a Visa Card. Cervantes Petrol Station DOES NOT accept Amex.
Best Western Hotel is the only place that accepts Amex.

Openseas Says: travel lightly is my motto....if you cannot carry your own luggage then cut down ! swimmers, flip flops, shorts, jacket and if in summer a FLY NET.... Bring your own medical supplies if your on any medication. camera
There is a 4WD dirt track which starts from within the Nambung National Park at Hangover Bay. You do however have to be a professional 4WD driver and have the necessary equipment. We were going to take this road back to Perth but after asking the locals about the road, they advised us NOT to unless we were probably prepared. Hubby decided he didn't feel like getting bogged in a sand dune, so we opted to go inland to visit the wheat belt of WA.

There is a good size golf course in Cervantes for those who like to have a hit and swing around the course. Its located opposite the Best Western Hotel. I'm sure you would also meet a few kangaroos whilst playing !

ukirsari Says: cervantes is bloody miles away from perth. but i definitely must go to see the gorgeous limestone pillars called the pinnacles. cervantes --spanish name-- itself is taken from a shipwreck which is given name after the writer of don quixote. this small lively town is a home...
Dxenion Says: We only stopped here for a driving break but the sunsets on the beach have to be seen to be believed. I'm not sure what it's like during summer but when we were there in June, we had the entire beach to ourselves.The adjacent carpark has plenty of room if you're towing and...
