Recommend a tour of Jewel Cave while in the Augusta/Margaret River Area. Interesting and beautiful formations and guide Richard was very informative with both his geology and knowledge of the cave and it's history. Tour went for an hour, there were a few hundred steps but no rush. Group limited to 30 people. Ours was much less than that. Recomnended

JahRoc Gallery has something for everyone. Fine furniture, wonderful paintings, glorious glass and beautifully crafted jewellery. I have purchased furniture from this gallery in the past and the piece I bought is one of my favourite items. Now that the intrastate restrictions are lifting I, for one, am looking forward to another visit very soon.

Cape Naturaliste Vineyard

Reviewed By colleenb951 - Perth, Australia

Wow... Wow... Wow... Such a great experience! My husband and I recently had the chance to visit the South West and do some wine tastings. We were extremely impressed with our visit to this cellar door. Not only were their wines superb, but it was one of the most beautiful vineyards we've seen in our travels. To top it off, the staff were awesome and they were only too happy to spare their time and share with us their extensive knowledge of wine-making. It was such a great experience and we managed to buy some lovely wines too. Would definitely recommend and return in the not too distant future! Thanks Jen, Craig, Lisa, and their furry pets who also made our visit so enjoyable.

All the times I have visited Margaret River and this was my first time to Woodlands Wines. I have been missing out! Firstly the staff are amazing, really friendly, knowable & helpful. The cellar door is lovely and comfortable, very relaxing and the wines are great and reasonably priced. There is a snack menu with the most amazing cheese boards that are not to be missed. All in all, one of my favourite experiences this trip and I can't wait to return.

THE GROVE DISTILLERY & BREWERY

Where else can you find, a International Award winning distillery producing Top Shelf Spirits; a brewery that makes fantastic craft beer; cafe with homemade pizza; a cocktail bar using TGD delicious liqueurs; and secluded accommodation so you don't have to leave.

Reviewed By Lukov - Greater Perth, Australia

We popped by this afternoon on impulse - despite no notice the staff were happy to help us out with a distillery tour, which was entertaining and informative, particularlywhen it came to discussing ingredients used and the challenges of distilling in Australia vs other countries. Food was lovely (the scones are absolutely delicious!), and the quality of the spirits on offer excellent - the Turkish delight liqueur in particular i can easily see needing a repeat order. The surroundings are great - this is not an operation where quality has been skimped on at all, and it's extremely picturesque. Staff were all helpful and cheerful - my father and I had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to our next trip when we can spend more than a couple of hours here!

Ngilgi Cave is located just off Caves Road, a short distance north of Yallingup, beneath the limestone ridge which forms Cape Naturaliste. The fascinating association with a rich Aboriginal legend describing the battle between a good spirit (Ngilgi) and an evil spirit (Wolgine) gives Ngilgi Cave its name.

We have done adventure caving in other parts of Australia but this was our best tour so far. Thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable guide Reuben we had an awesome time scrambling, climbing, crawling and squeezing our way to the ancient river bed and back in the course of almost three hours underground. Thanks also to Shea and Gemma for finding Hilary and Neil so that the tour could go ahead (otherwise we were short on numbers). Thanks to Hilary and Neil for agreeing to take the extended tour. We had a great time!

After reading the enormous amounts of accolades Flametree wines have recently received for their SRS Chardonnay, we had to stop in to taste for ourselves. We had such a wonderful experience with the knowledgeable & friendly Cellar Door girls who spent the time to have a chat & really made us feel so welcome that we joined their Flametree Family Membership. We're delighted to support a local business, have our twice yearly allocation of 'liquid souvenirs' plus be guests at their bi-annual events where we receive complimentary canapes, wine & get to meet the Flametree Family. Thank you guys x
