Williams, named Western Australia’s Tidiest Town in 2025, is located 160 kilometres south of Perth along the Albany Highway and is proudly referred to as the “Gateway to the Great Southern Region.”
Take a moment to stop and ‘smell the roses’. During the warmer months, a stunning display of more than 500 roses stretches 400 meters along the main street. Enjoy a riverside picnic at Williams Lions Park, pick up freshly baked bread from the local supermarket, and experience the charm of genuine country hospitality.
More than just a stop along the way, this welcoming farming community invites visitors to relax and recharge. Lions Park, situated on the banks of the Williams River, is ideal for a barbecue, family picnic, or letting the kids enjoy the playground. The nearby Williams Woolshed and Woolshed Café are favourites among locals and visitors looking for quality food, gifts, and clothing. Electric vehicle charging facilities are also available, making it an easy stop for modern travellers.
Albany Highway provides several opportunities to refuel and refresh, featuring three roadhouses, three cafés, and the Williams Hotel.
For those considering a longer stay, explore the Williams Nature Reserve, located about 10 kilometres north of the town, where native flora and fauna are protected and accessible via walking trails that feature picnic and viewing areas. During the warmer months (November to March), the Williams Swimming Pool offers a refreshing break, while the Williams Motel and Caravan Park provide comfortable accommodation just off the highway for those wanting to extend their visit.
