Guide to Margaret River

From outdoor adventures and epic surf to top-notch wines and serene beaches, there’s little surprise this small region stands out on the big map.

Margaret River takes the phrase ‘world-class’ to a whole new feat. Bursting with epic experiences and unfathomable landscapes, this truly is the land of luxury. Wander to the sounds of the ocean and azure blue water, as gnarly surf breaks and jaw-dropping limestone cliffs meet your eyes. Don’t be surprised if you spot a pro – or a handful of dolphins – riding the waves. Inland lies Margaret River’s premium wine region, home to award-winning wineries perched upon verdant green hills. And further afield are thrills galore, from kayaking to abseiling and the epic Cape to Cape Walk. Not one day is the same in this picture-perfect pocket of Western Australia.
