Margaret River
Renowned for its quality fresh local produce, world-class wines, crystal caves, karri forests, pristine beaches and stunning coastline, the Margaret River region is situated approximately 280km south of Perth.   [Margaret River eco-friendly accommodation]

The Margaret River Wine region is blessed with an abundance of natural attractions including a myriad of underground crystal caves (open for public tours), pristine white beaches, pockets of beautiful forest and a multitude of bush and coastal walk trails. The rugged coastline is an example of nature at its finest and ocean views can be enjoyed from many lookout points.

Massive surf has long been a major draw for the area and watching the local surfers take on the ocean is a spectacular sight. Other eco activities include canoeing along the Margaret River, eco adventure activities such as abseiling and rockclimbing and whalewatching off Augusta.

The wild, rugged beauty of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park with its dramatic cliffs and rocks, the tranquil aqua waters of the many protected bays, the local vineyards covered in rising mist in the early morning all contribute to outstanding visual splendour of the region.

The merging of regrowth karri forests and pristine beaches is best seen along the Caves Road coastal drive. In the same area you will find galleries containing locally produced works; caves to explore and two lighthouses to climb - the Dunsborough Lighthouse and the Leeuwin Lighthouse - both offering very different and spectacular views of the surrounding oceans.
