Located in the farming district of the Central South region, Kondinin has become a stopover for travellers heading to one of Western Australia's best­known natural attractions - Wave Rock at Hyden. Examples of Aboriginal art can be found in the vicinity of Hyden. Two areas worth a visit are Gnamma Holes and The Humps, where Bates Caves has many Aboriginal rock paintings on the walls and ceilings. The best­preserved examples are hand outlines.

Seven kilometres west of the township is Kondinin Lake, a popular spot for water­sports with excellent facilities for water­skiing and yachting in years when there is sufficient rainfall.
