Joondalup Resort has twice been voted the number-one resort golf course in Australia by Golf Australia magazine. Why? Because the bushland setting of this world-class resort golf course is simply magical.

But you don't have to be a golfer to love this holiday haven, just three minutes to white sandy beaches. The resort pool can provide hours of relaxation, but don't be surprised if the golfing bug bites and you take a lesson or two, or try out the night driving range. The resort has various rooms, but we love the Suites with their separate lounges and pampering touches. Dining at Bistro 38 is always a treat and the Sunday lunch buffet (with free-flowing bubbly and chocolate fountain dessert buffet) is a gourmand's delight. For an English country pub experience, the Kangaroo Arms has live entertainment and wide-screen sports.

The resort is ideal for weddings. It combines superb service and a sensational setting. The bonus is that the wedding party and guests can all be comfortably accommodated.
