Lake Cave is a stunning crystal wonderland, situated deep beneath the earth. The entrance of the cave lies at the base of a spectacular sinkhole. Inside the cave, dazzling crystal formations dominate the cave roof, while the unique 'Suspended Table' is perfectly reflected in the tranquil water below.
This cave is the most 'actively dripping' and deepest of the show caves in the southwest. It is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful limestone caves in Western Australia. Entry to the cave is through an enormous sinkhole where you can gaze up at the towering karri trees from the floor of the sunken forest before entering the cave. 

The water level in Lake Cave has reached its highest point in decades, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visitors to experience the cave in this majestic state. The unique 'Suspended Table' decoration and the captivating reflections from the lake make this cave a must-see attraction.

Don’t forget to brush up on your cave knowledge at the interpretive centre, with information about the Leeuwin-Naturaliste caves, as well as fascinating insights into caves all over the world.

Hands down the most beautiful cave! Highly recommend to come here if you are cave hopping in Margaret River. The water inside the caves makes it even more special and stunning. There is also a crystal formation that looks like floating table with crystal columns which is very unique to this cave. There are 345 steps going down to the cave. So be prepared to climb the stairs up after the guided tour. Our guide Josh was very knowledgeable about the cave and its history. He was also engaging and very good with kids. He also offered to take photos of us in the cave. We went early in the morning for the first tour which made it enjoyable because we didn’t have a big group of people.

What made the tour special was our wonderful guide! I'm embarrassed to say that I've forgotten his name as we went in June, but I can say that I've been on many great tours in Australia/NZ and this gentleman is definitely one of the very best! Please pass on my best regards to this gent! The cave was beautiful too!

Lake Cave was a real beauty. The guide was very informative and added a touch of humor to make it enjoyable. It isn't the nicest Cave that I've been to but was unique in its own way. Had to break a sweat climbing back up the steep stairs but was well worth the exercise. Kid friendly too Michael LeCaine Singapore, Jun 2024

We chose Lake Cave after reading various reviews and were not disappointed. It is smaller than many caves we have visited but its beauty is stunning and shown without coloured lighting which is a bonus. Our guide Kate was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A great tour!
