1. Enjoy a peaceful Margaret River Farm stay

If you’re looking for Margaret River farm stays that offer a genuine connection to the land, Burnside Organic Farm is a beautiful place to begin. Experience the true beauty of nature at this 15-hectare farm and winery, filled with lush vineyards, an avocado orchard, caper plantation, beehives, and market garden. Nestle in spacious self-contained bungalows equipped with fully-functional kitchens, wood fires, and amazing entertainment spaces, and explore the organic farm.
The property is also a wonderful base for Margaret River walking trails, with a breathtaking 30-minute walk through Wooditjup National Park or the option to pedal along a 10km Wadandi track that winds its way into town and leads to pristine waters for a relaxing day at the beach.
2. Nature and nurture by the beach

Smiths Beach Resort offers luxury Margaret River accommodation featuring a spacious open-floor plan, state-of-the-art facilities, and incredible interior design.
Perfectly positioned on Smiths Beach and close to Bunker Bay, Yallingup and Dunsborough, you will experience the soft, soothing sounds of nature and the nurturing oasis of this wellness haven. Start your day at Lamont’s restaurant with a nourishing breakfast prepared from the freshest local ingredients before taking a refreshing swim at the beach or breathing in the fresh air along the iconic Cape-to-Cape track.
3. Escape to a BODHI Spa

The exquisite BODHI Yallingup Spa is a lakeside retreat and the ultimate holistic getaway for those who want an escape to rejuvenate the body, mind, and soul. With an infrared sauna, hydrotherapy baths and a yoga and meditation studio, it provides peaceful serenity and connects you to the natural beauty of the Margaret River region.
Experience healing therapies inspired by ancient Australian traditions and indulge in a treatment designed to restore, deeply nourish and reconnect you with your inner self. This Margaret River spa retreat is a truly immersive experience.
4. Take a hike along the Cape to Cape Track

One of the best things to do in Margaret River is to enjoy some time in the great outdoors. Within the far southwest corner of Western Australia lies the Leeuwin National Park and the ancient, wild, and stunning panoramic views are sure to take your breath away!
For those who enjoy hiking Margaret River, Cape to Cape Explorer Tours offers authentic, eco-friendly expeditions along some of the region’s most spectacular trails. You can explore sections of the 132km Cape to Cape Track, as well as nearby Western Australia hiking trails, with an experienced guide.
5. Nourish yourself with Indigenous wisdom

Koomal Dreaming Tours offers immersive experiences that connect you with culture like never before. We love the half-day Aboriginal Food Cave and Didge Tour that starts with a guided bushwalk and a forage for native ingredients and bush medicine. Then it’s time to enter the Ngilgi Cave for some storytelling, and lessons in traditional fire-starting and tool making.
You’ll also enjoy a magical didgeridoo performance in the acoustic surrounds before a nourishing lunch around the campfire. This is one of those things to do in Margaret River that delights all the senses.
