Success stories
Explore the region
Margaret River
Few of the world’s wine regions bear such a striking combination of treasures. Tall tree forests tower over clusters of vibrantly coloured wildflowers. Fragrant scrub edges a coastline of pale sandy beaches, rounded boulders and glass-clear ocean. Inland, vines frame cellar doors, barrels of wine and some of Western Australia’s best dining experiences. At the heart of it all, is Margaret River town.
Bunbury-Geographe
Imagine wild dolphins frolicking in turquoise waters, blissful long lunches in verdant vineyards, skimming through the surf on water skis, whizzing through wildflower-strewn trails on a mountain bike, or four-wheel-driving down secluded beaches. In the Bunbury-Geographe, adventure and relaxation exist in harmony. The only question you need to ask is: what do I feel like doing today?
Busselton
Busselton (Undalup) has a stunning foreshore that will leave you in awe and keep you entertained for hours. You’ll be dazzled by the ivory sand and the translucent turquoise ocean lapping at its edges. Then, a 1.8km-long, heritage-listed jetty will draw your eyes out to sea where, from May to December, tens of thousands of whales pass by on their annual migration. And that’s only the beginning.
Dunsborough
There are few places where the West Australian bush meets the beach, and lucky Dunsborough bears most of them. In a region of breathtaking bays, Dunsborough’s stand out, each one a dreamy combination of crystalline turquoise water, granite boulder stacks and leafy canopies.
Albany
The cool climate haven of Albany (Kinjarling) perches on a placid harbour edged by a national park. A rugged coastline of sculpted rocks, peaceful sandy beaches and nature trails through fragrant bush awaits those with a sense of adventure, while fans of local wineries, small wine bars and historic buildings will enjoy slow walks around town.
Denmark
The town of Denmark is a natural beauty where the rugged wilderness of tall tree forests and tiny, knee-high wildflowers meet emerald green lagoons studded with rounded boulders. Welcome to a peaceful and relaxed country town where adventurous hiking trails guide you through ancient forests and alongside vivid ocean bays, while unquestionable showstoppers like Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks will leave you in awe.
