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.

Dreamy summer days call for spontaneous road trips. Hands up who fancies hitting the road?🙋♀️
Happy news, there's a bunch of accommodation options, tours, experiences and wineries offering #lockdownlifted late summer deals. Hop to our website (link in bio) for the full list. Quick sticks, as some deals end 28 February.
Catch you at 🐠 @BusseltonJettyOfficial (who have an awesome deal on Underwater Observatory tours) where 📸 @counting_continents took this fantastic snap ✨
At the very northern tip of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge is a spectacular walk trail running along dramatic clifftops that allow a view back in time to the weathered sea caves below. With so many of our West Aussie friends not able to visit the region over the past few weeks this section of the Cape to Cape trail circling the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse is the ideal place to come and spread those wings. Take a leaf out of @crystal_pringle's book and get amongst nature in this prehistoric national park.
We're going 'full send' today in the Margaret River region, and the Pines Mountain Bike Trails located in Bramley is where shredders like @josh_moore90 here shot by @ride.on.wa come to get that bit of white-knuckle therapy they've been hanging out for. The Pines are a favourite with the @westernaustralia MTB community travelling through the south west. The 9.8 kilometre, moderately trafficked loop runs through (yep you guessed it) a pine plantation and is rated moderate with a number of activity options accessible year-round. Yee haa! 🤘
Bunker Bay boasts the most mind-blowing, bluer than blue water, and lucky visitors like 📸 @jonny.melon will often have the beach to themselves 🐬💙
There's plenty to explore in the northern end of Cape Naturaliste, after your morning dip, of course. Climb @CapeNatLighthouse on a fully guided tour ⚓, check out the gin distilling setup at @WiseWine and grab a cold bevvy with lunch at @EagleBayBrewingCo 🍻🍕 Later, catch a sunset at Sugarloaf Rock 🌇
But like most folks who visit this picture perfect paradise in summer @jonny.melon only has one thing on his mind; a dip in that glorious Indian Ocean right in front of his @pullmanbunkerbay beach side chalet 🙌
Just like wine and cheese, a beautiful sunset and guitar serenade make for a perfect pairing. Throw in an iconic location like Surfers Point at the seaside town of Prevelly and you've got yourself a ticket to afternoon bliss.
This classic scene captured by 📸 @peterjovicphotography sums up the laidback lifestyle visitors come to get a taste of, some of whom simply never leave! 🔥
Somewhere among the @sandalford_wines vineyard there is a little terrier scooting up and down the rows that just loooves chasing gumnuts and greeting visitors ❤️🍷 Her name is Poppy and we hear on the grapevine that her pet hate is having her photo taken, although you wouldn't guess that looking at this cute-as-pie 📸 @winedogs_hq shot!
Sandalford Wines have been operating in the Margaret River sub region of Wilyabrup since way back in the 1970s, so stop by and say hello Poppy on your next south west wine tasting adventure 🤗
