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.

#MargaretRiver @MargaretRiver
There's nearly 200km of coast to explore in the #MargaretRiver region, and sometimes you get lucky with a beautiful beach all to yourself 💦👣
This is Eagle Bay snapped by 📸 @from.miles.away - a favourite spot for swimming, romantic beach walks and whale watching in spring. While many folk are drawn in by its natural beauty, they stay for the craft beer, deluxe digs, amazing food, wine and tour experiences.
Some epic experiences in Eagle Bay and around;
🏊 swim in the crystal clear water
🍻 have a pint (or two) at @eaglebaybrewingco
🍴 brunch at @meelupfarmhouse_
🦘 learn about Wadandi culture on a @koomaldreaming tour
🐳 watch for whales at Point Piquet - September to November
⚓ climb @capenatlighthouse for maritime history & a view
🌅 sunset at Sugarloaf Rock - or walk from the lighthouse to Sugarloaf
⭐ stay in a luxurious @pullmanbunkerbay beachfront villa
Have you ever wondered how Caves Road got its name? 🤔 Over 100 limestone and crystal caves lie between Yallingup and Augusta, and some are open for us to explore 🔦
📸 @Michael.Heritage took this incredible photo peering into the @LakeCaveMR doline ✨ Swipe across to see the lake that lies 62 metres below ground, and the view looking through nature's window.
Lake Cave is about 15 minutes' drive from Margaret River within the beautiful Boranup Forest. You can only see it on a guided tour, learning about the fascinating geology, local plants, animals and history.
#WanderOutYonder #JustAnotherDayInWA
Injidup Beach working its autumn magic for 📸 @merrwatson ✨💙
Injidup is known for its beautiful beach and natural rock formations; it's also day one (or two) on the world-famous Cape to Cape Track 👣
“Our coast is so different to most places on earth. The texture is extremely special, it’s got corners, bays, points - that makes it special,” says Gene Hardy of @capetocapeexplorertours. Walk the track and you'll see amazing formations and patterns in the granite which is estimated to be between 300 million and a billion years old. There's also million year old limestone carved into cliffs and crystal caves.
The 124km Cape to Cape Track is a world-class walk along incredible coastal scenery. What better way to #WanderOutYonder ☀️
Margaret River makes Australia’s most delicious Chardonnay – it’s Kylie Minogue official! 💕

Cheers to you, @KylieMinogue! 🥂

Alpacas, goats, a miniature Irish donkey, lambs, ducks, chickens and sheep are just some of the cute animals that make up the welcome committee at Margaret River Holiday Cottages. Now they have one more cutie pie to join the flock! 🥰
Autumn in the Margaret River Region is all about those late afternoon surf check vibes with your bestie. Watch out for those locals though, we hear they're not shy of hopping into everyones business!
The Cape to Cape track is a 123km long walk trail that runs through stunning coastal scenery, sheltered forests and pristine beaches. Beginning and ending at @capenatlighthouse in the north and @capeleeuwinlighthouse in the south the views are absolutely gorgeous.
Surprise scenes like these cheeky kangaroos captured by @vita_lumen are classic of a trek along the famous route and quite simply the cherry on the cake of a truly immersive nature experience.
