Margaret River is Western Australia's food, wine, surfing and leisure playground. It’s also one of the most scenic and lush regions in the state, graced with a mix of coast, forest, vineyards and farmland.
Superb wines are grown in these parts, and vineyard visits for wine tastings and meals at winery restaurants are some of the most popular pursuits.
Gourmet food is also a highlight, from chocolate and cheese to bush tucker and locally grown produce.
The area is known for its network of caves, with cave tours another regional specialty. The nearby coast is a favorite for whale-watching, lazing on the beach or catching a wave.
Margaret River is 272 km (168 mi) south of Perth in southwest Western Australia. By car it’s around 3.5 hours via the Bussell Highway. Coaches and tours run between Perth and Margaret River daily.
