Margaret River

Margaret River is a gourmet's paradise of restaurants, breweries and around 50 wineries situated just three and a half hour’s drive south of Perth. Its fine cheeses, jams, freshwater crayfish, olives, and confectionery are famous throughout Australia. The region is also famous for its spectacular pristine white beaches, caves, beautiful forest, and numerous bush tracks or walking trails along the rugged coastline.  Visit the chocolate and fudge factories to see the product being made, attend a wine tasting or two, try some top-class surfing - or you can even go whale-watching. For true oenophiles, the annual Margaret River Wine Festival is held over four days each November.
