The Vines: Discover golf and kangaroos

The Vines combines a resort-oriented sense of place with two distinct travel interests: golf and guided kangaroo watching. For your planning, it’s worth keeping these highlights separate before you look for a holiday apartment in The Vines.

Golf as part of the area’s design

The Vines was planned as a suburban area in the late 1980s, with a large golf and leisure centre intended as its focal point. This history gives the area a clear golf profile. That doesn’t mean you have to focus your stay exclusively on the sport, though: the Kangaroo Safari at The Vines Resort offers a different emphasis. You can first consider whether golf or wildlife watching matters more to your travel group.

Two golf courses at The Vines Resort

The Vines Resort in The Vines has the 18-hole Vines Championship Course and the nine-hole Lakes Course. The Vines Championship Course is a challenging championship course; the Lakes Course is designated as a 9-hole course. The names and hole counts give you specific points of reference to tell the two courses apart and look for further details. If you plan to play golf during your stay, check the latest booking details before visiting.

Kangaroo Safari with insights into wildlife

The Kangaroo Safari at The Vines Resort takes you in search of kangaroos. Guides share interesting facts about the animals. Alongside the golf courses, this makes guided wildlife watching a distinct reason to visit: one activity centres on golf, while the other is about encounters with kangaroos and learning about them. If you plan to join the safari, check with the organiser for the latest operating details.

Parks and nearby streets

Three parks are listed with specific streets in The Vines: Chardonnay Park is on Vines Avenue, Ailsa Park is on Ailsa Way, and Chandon Park is on Chandon Terrace. These names and street details provide clear reference points for finding your way around. You can note the three park names separately as you familiarise yourself with the street names in The Vines.

The resort’s regional setting

For a broader regional perspective, The Vines Resort is located in the Swan Valley in Western Australia. The Swan Valley is described as Western Australia’s oldest wine region. The drive from Perth CBD to the resort is listed as taking 30 minutes. The regional context and drive time therefore add two more points of reference to the specific locations in The Vines. If you’re planning the drive, check the route for your travel day.

Which holiday apartment suits your travel plans?

If golf is the deciding factor, the two named courses give you a specific starting point for further planning. If kangaroos and guided wildlife watching are the priority, the Kangaroo Safari is the more relevant point of reference. And if you’re interested in the regional wine-growing context, the Swan Valley offers its own setting.
