Flanked by national parks including towering forests, pristine coastlines and rugged granite outcrops, the Margaret River Region is the quintessential Western Australian holiday destination.
This is award-winning wine country with a thriving art scene, incredible hiking trails, and a distinctly circular food philosophy with a great respect for the land.
With sheltered bays to the north, vineyards and surf coast along its length, and two oceans meeting at the southern tip, it’s time to rediscover The Margaret River Region.

You can just about hear the sighs of relief from winemakers and viticulturists around the region - the Chardonnay is in the winery, and it's looking YUM! 🍇👍 Some were feeling a little skittish about recent rain, but all's well that ends well, and we're really looking forward to tasting #Vintage2021.
These pics come courtesy of 📸 @southbysouthwestwine and their Quality Control Officer and number one #WineDog Meeka. If you're driving around the Margaret River Region in coming weeks, keep an eye out for the beautiful fruit being plucked from the vines, and the changing colours as the cooler weather sets in. 🍂
What's happening in March? There are plenty of events to keep you busy, including the final fun weekend of the Busselton Fringe Festival, live music at some beautiful wineries, art exhibitions and (pictured) the Undalup Bunuru Festival, a family-friendly celebration of culture and heritage.

Surfs up down at Contos Beach, one of most magical stretches of sand found in the Margaret River region. You really can get away from the world down in this picturesque setting, the dramatic limestone cliffs overlooking the bay behind @the_sandy_van here mean that phone reception fades away into the nothingness, just like those pesky push notifications that keep you from enjoying the true serenity of nature! In a world where our attention spans are becoming ever more fragmented this perfect patch of sand is the escape you've been looking for. 🤗
We're a true blue Aussie bunch down here in the Margaret River region, so much so that even the farm animals like to indulge in age old traditions. Meet Bronze-cream, one of the two alpacas that 📸 @lukeporcarophoto helped feed during his stay at @mrholidaycottages where the folks are as fair dinkum as they come. We've just had news that this lovely lady is expecting a baby very soon, how exciting! We absolutely can't wait to meet the little one and it's funky little hair do. 🤗
Smiths Beach is a magic spot, great for a swim, a surf lesson or just soaking up the sunshine with your family like 📸 @aquaflyte. It’s on the Cape to Cape Track (one of the infamous bits where you walk on sand!) and there’s a brilliant cafe restaurant and some great accommodation options. Nearby? Wineries, breweries, a historic hotel, a cooking school and an ancient cave. Tap to see some of the local attractions 👌 Smiths Beach is in the northern part of the Margaret River Region, close to Yallingup and Dunsborough, a fantastic base for your next holiday ☀️
