Just minutes from the CBD, Maylands is quickly becoming one of Perth’s most vibrant destinations — and this Mother’s Day, it offers everything you need to spoil Mum in style.
Set along the picturesque banks of the Swan River, Maylands blends riverside charm with a buzzing local scene.
Start the day with a relaxed brunch at one of the suburb’s many cafés, where you’ll find everything from classic breakfast favourites to modern, creative dishes. The welcoming atmosphere and strong community feel make it the perfect place to slow down and spend quality time together.

Beyond dining, Maylands delivers when it comes to experiences. Take a stroll or bike ride along the scenic shared paths that wind along the river, offering peaceful views and plenty of photo opportunities. For something a little different, explore the area’s boutique shops and local businesses, where you’re bound to find a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift.
Art lovers will also feel right at home. Maylands has a growing creative scene, with galleries and studios showcasing local talent, adding a cultural touch to your Mother’s Day outing. It’s the kind of place where you can wander, discover something new, and make a day of it without rushing.
Rich in history, the suburb dates back to the 1890s and has evolved from its industrial roots — including the former Maylands Brickworks and early aviation history — into a lively, modern hub. Today, its easy accessibility via the refurbished Maylands train station makes getting there simple, whether you’re coming from the city or surrounding suburbs.
This Mother’s Day, skip the usual and head to Maylands — where great food, local culture, and riverside relaxation come together to create a day Mum won’t forget.
