Other things to note

Funk Cider
Sandalford Winery
Lamont’s Winery
Olive Farm Wines/ Cheese Barrel Cafe
Sitella Winery
Houghtons Winery
Oakover Wines/ Fiori Coffee
The Guildford Hotel
The Henley Brook Pub

Great Northern Distillery

There is also The Margret River Chocolate Factory, Yahava Coffee House, and the Henley Brook Restaurant very close to the house that is worth a visit.
Whiteman Park
visit the motor and tractor museums and Caversham Wildlife Park (entrance fees) where you can pat a kangaroo, watch birds of prey, take a photo with a koala, see a wombat and enjoy other activities. In Whiteman Park Village, you can buy a coffee, unique handmade art, pottery, and glass. You may like to bike and walk the paths and trails throughout the park where mobs of kangaroos freely roam. You can take a train or tram ride, watch the kids enjoy the playgrounds and water playground, barbecue your lunch, and soak up the scenic bush views.
Kings Park Botanic Gardens
(Great views of Elizabeth Quay and the City)
Climb the DNA tower, and walk the elevated tree top Walkway.
Barrack Street Jetty/Elizabeth Quay ( I suggest doing this and Kings Park on the same day)
These Perth landmarks are located right on the city riverfront at the river-end of CBD Barrack Street. While you are there, walk the grassy foreshore paths, take photos or climb the Swan Bell Tower, eat at the waterfront restaurants, order a coffee and watch the ferries and the riverlife come and go, book a whalewatching tour or a day trip to Rottnest Island, take a variety of boat trips (up through the Swan Valley wine region or board a jet boat if you're inclined) or take a short ferry ride across to South Perth for a coffee or to visit the Perth Zoo.
Fremantle, historic maritime city
Renowned for its range of museums and fish and chips - including maritime, army, a submarine, and former prisons. While you are there, walk the boardwalk of the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, dine on fish and chips overlooking the harbour (Cicerello's is a Fremantle institution on the Fishing Boat Harbour waterfront) do a tour (even at night!)
I recommend visiting the historic old Fremantle Prison, which was built by convicts, to visit the historic limestone Roundhouse (The Night Tour is very good). Fremantle Weekend Markets on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday, enjoy alfresco coffee or a meal while you people-watch on trendy South Terrace, try the world-famous Little Creatures Brewery beer or a glass of wine at the boutique brewery on the harbour waterfront.
Perth's fabulous beaches
To name just a few - Cottesloe, Scarborough, City Beach and Leighton are some of the best options to visitors staying near central Perth and it's free to spread out a towel on the fine, white sand. You can catch a train to get to iconic Cottesloe to catch a wave, swim with the locals, watch the lifesavers in summer, have lunch at one of the seafront cafes, or for something less formal, grab a cold beer and a pub meal at the Ocean Beach Hotel (or the OBH as the locals call it.) If it's a Sunday, join the "Sunday session" at the OBH but be warned - if it's a sunny day the pub will be busy! There is also Mullaloo Beach and Mullaloo Beach Hotel that is worth a look.
Leederville / Lake Monger -
Just three kilometres out of Perth city area in Leederville is Monger's Lake, with Western Australia's famous emblematic black swans and other water birds in abundance. Walk or jog around the lake with the locals or cycle if you're inclined. Sit on a park bench and enjoy the lake views, or walk to the western side and take photos with city building views in the background. Eat a picnic lunch while bird-watching or watch your kids enjoy the playgrounds. It's about a 15-minute walk to Lake Monger Drive if you catch a train to Leederville station - have a coffee or lunch at one of the streetside cafes in Leederville. This is a good spot for dinner or lunch :) for example Grill’d burgers, Jus Burgers, and Theo & Co. pizzas.
Rottnest Island - approximately 20 kilometres west of Fremantle.
This idyllic and under-developed little island is just a ferry trip from the city or Fremantle and is at its best on warm sunny days. Ferries depart from Perth at the Barrack Street Jetty, Fremantle, and Hillarys Marina, and the journey takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your departure point. The fare from Fremantle is the least expensive and often the tickets are cheaper on a Tuesday. Rottnest offers an array of intimate white beaches, coves, bays, great snorkelling or scuba diving on reefs and wrecks, and crystal clear water. Thomson's Bay is packed with watercraft in summer on weekends. Join historic tours of wartime fortifications and museums, take photos of lighthouses, or watch migratory birds on the salt lakes. The common modes of transport around the island are bicycle (available for hire) or local bus and you will probably see cute little 'quokkas' (like a miniature kangaroo) that are native to this island. The recently renovated Hotel Rottnest was formerly the summer residence for governors. It now serves cold beer and lovely meals, but there are other cheaper food options on the island, including cafes and a local bakery.
