Things to Do in Margaret River

Wine tasting at Leeuwin Estate

The deck stares over vines toward bush where kookaburras cackle. Swirl chardonnay, taste grapefruit and wet rock. The gallery rotates serious work. Summer concerts spill music across the lawn.

Surfing lessons at Prevelny

Beach breaks here forgive beginners. Consistent waves let you stand, not flail. Cool water bites ankles. First ride hooks you for life. Instructors push stance over style.

Mammoth Cave self-guided tour

Limestone walls sweat as you drop. Footsteps echo past stalactites dripping onto the boardwalk. Audio guides flag fossil marsupials in the rock. Lights die. Darkness swallows you whole.

Saturday farmers market

Sourdough steam hits you first. Coffee and basil follow. Locals queue for kimchi dumplings, fermented honey. Stalls hawk yak milk soap, biodynamic veg. Growers chat methods between samples.

Cape to Cape track section walk

The coastal path snakes through heath, wild rosemary underfoot. Granite cliffs dive to turquoise water. Southern rights might breach below. Outside school holidays you own the trail.

Margaret River town center. Walk to restaurants, farmers market. You still need rides for wineries.

Prevelly/Gnarabup. Bed sits steps from surf. Sunset beer at the surf club.

Forest Grove. Karri forest at your door. Woodsmoke in the air. Stars blaze in total black.

Cowaramup. Ten minutes north, farming vibe. Cheaper rooms, killer cheese factory.

Yallingup. North of river, cliff resorts. Ocean views, higher tariff, worth it.

Witchcliffe. South of town, rural blocks. Roos on the lawn at dawn, prices drop.
