Welcome to Witchcliffe and Redgate!

Witchcliffe is a quaint little town, full of old world charm, just south of Margaret River. The town itself has a number of unique gift stores and buildings that date back to early settlement times. The town, like many of the other southern towns of the region, has a significant timber history. Located in East Witchcliffe was the mill later taken over by the Adelaide Timber Company in 1930. During group settlement the township boomed, with a significant number of buildings erected and a stable and growing population, financed by the booming timber industry. A train line also existed to take passengers to Busselton.
