Margaret River
Margaret River is a destination that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Western Australian nature, arts, and culture. The town itself exudes an indelible buzz, characterized by a vibrant mix of artisan stores, galleries, and street art. Despite this energy, it remains anchored by the serenity of its surroundings; from the majestic tall-growth forests and rocky coastal cliffs to the undulating plains where world-class vineyards stretch toward the horizon. Internationally acclaimed for its premium wine production, the region showcases an abundance of award-winning cellar doors specialising in Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the area’s identity is equally defined by its prominent surf culture. As the home of the Margaret River Pro, the coastline offers some of the most spectacular surf conditions and ocean vistas in the world. Whether through its gourmet local produce or its rugged natural beauty, Margaret River seamlessly blends a sophisticated culinary scene with a relaxed, authentic coastal charm.

Lake Cave is seriously spectacular. It’s set in lush karri forest, has a dramatic sinkhole entrance and a ‘suspended table’ crystal decoration hanging above a permanent lake. The most actively dripping cave in the region, it’s remarkably peaceful hearing the drips. It’s the smallest but deepest cave, with 325 stairs in all. The stairways are designed so that visitors only have to tackle a moderate number of stairs between rests – and the scenery from the first to the last step is your stunning reward.
