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

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.

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!

“Where Two oceans meet” , a lighthouse built to facilitate navigation, simply overwhelming, loved the place, and the staff was helpful, friendly and made you feel so welcome.
5. Ngilgi Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 955 reviews
Explore the ancient wonders of Ngilgi Cave! The Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. 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. Explore the cave and experience stunning stalactite, stalagmite, helictite and shawl formations. Visit an interpretive area detailing Ngilgi Cave's interesting history. A cafe, playground, barbecue facilities and walk trails make Ngilgi Cave a fun place to visit for the entire family.

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!

Very helpful. The lady assisting us knew the local attractions very well and able to assist us with up to date advice. As very busy in the region, due to school hols, we were recommended to book. The bookings and payments were made for us quickly. Very friendly advice and all our questions answered. We also purchased a few souvenirs, reasonably priced, a few gifts for friends too. Plenty of brochures available and a large informative map of the region, all free.

Reviewed By TopEndFamily1
The cafe here seems very popular, and with good reason. Sitting in the garden, we had coffee and scones, which were excellent. Take the time to wander the grounds, lots of beautiful flowers and animals to see. A well-organized shop offers tastings of all of their jams, sauces and fruit wines - all very tempting. There is a play area for kids, pets seem to be welcome, and the car park is large. Worth the 20 minute drive from Margaret River.
