Discover Our Beautiful Cottage in Gidgegannup
The Farm
Jacaranda Farm is 66 acres of undulating farm and bushland in the locality of Gidgegannup, located a short distance from the Swan Valley and Toodyay. The farm runs a small herd of cattle, and it boasts scenic views over the Avon Valley.
The farm is located next to the Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary which has several bushwalks and Walyunga National Park. Consequently, we have abundant wildlife including kangaroos, emu, and birds, of particular note, are the endangered black cockatoos, which are frequent visitors to the farm. We even have pet emus if you want a close-up encounter with some of our wildlife.
Visitors in spring will be treated to an impressive wildflower display. The farm is located on the Gidgegannup Scenic Wildflower Drive.

How To Get There
Head east on Toodyay Rd from Midland and turn left into O'Brien Rd. Jacaranda Farm is located 15 km down O'Brien Rd from Toodyay Rd. O'Brien Rd changes name to Clenton Rd at the corner of Ewing Rd (turn off to Walyunga National Park Lookout).
Jacaranda Farm is the first property on the left 50m after the corner of Ewing Rd. Our driveway is lined with Jacaranda trees which gave rise to our name, Jacaranda Farm. There is a small sign in the driveway confirming you have arrived at the right place.
Enjoy the scenic drive along O'Brien Rd! It is popular for viewing wildflowers during spring.
