Located approximately 20–22km northeast of Perth's CBD, Henley Brook sits within the City of Swan, on the edge of the Swan Valley wine region.

Buyers are drawn to the mix of new master-planned estates, acreage-style pockets and easy access to the Swan Valley's wineries and restaurants. Here's our comprehensive guide to the area.
