WELCOME TO MOORE RIVER
Home to the authentic Moore River experience
Moore River at the river mouth in Guilderton has been home to the authentic Moore River experience since the turn of the twentieth century. Originally known by the Yued Aboriginal people as “Gabbadah” meaning a mouthful of water, the area has been used by the Yued people for thousands of years, and for general recreation since the earliest days of white settlement in the Gingin district.
As one of South West Australia’s best kept secrets, Guilderton has been welcoming visitors from Perth and beyond to enjoy the real Moore River experience; offering some of the same outdoor adventures that have been enjoyed for the last 100 years.

The authentic Moore River experience a.k.a Guilderton is less than 100km from Perth and the perfect spot for a getaway still close to home.
Just over an hour north out of the city, it’s a straight forward drive up the Mitchell Fwy before jumping onto Indian Ocean Dr and then swinging left onto Guilderton Rd.
The drive up has a couple of nice coastal stop offs like Two Rocks and Yanchep, and the township itself exists right along where the Moore River Estuary meets the Indian Ocean.
