The Llawn at Mandoon Estate is a great, shady spot to spend a sunny afternoon.

Make like John Septimus Roe and stake out your patch of perfect by the banks of the Swan River.

The grounds of his original homestead at ‘Location L’ are now The Llawn – a casual, family-friendly, alfresco area with picnic tables, a fully-enclosed playground and live music on the weekends.

Beer, wine, cider and soft drinks are available from the garden bar, and picnic-style charcuterie and cheese platters, salads and homemade ice cream from the delicatessen. There's also the spit roast and woodfired pizza.

BYO food or drinks is not permitted – relax and leave the cooking to the chefs!
