We stopped by for lunch on our way back to Perth. The venue was full, so I suggest making a booking if you’re travelling as a group. I had the best chicken curry here exactly what I was craving in the cold weather! Looking forward to visiting again next time we head down south. ❤️

Kudos to Chantel for helping me organize my successful day of experiencing the region. With a map in front of us, she highlighted where I could find the best chocolate,visit Surfers Point, a top surfing destination in the world, where competition wind surfing was happening, Lake Cave and suggesting Olio Bello for lunch (olive grower as well). Final tip she had - try Mai Tardi, the new gelato shop in town, if I liked gelato. Chantel was 100% on the day! Thanks for a day of fabulous memories!

Lovely morning visiting the Raptor Centre on our recent holiday to Margaret River. We had booked our tickets in advance online prior to our visit, we arrived early and there were quite a few visitors arriving also. If you have are wanting to catch a morning show it possibly would be okay to just turn up although with many of our activities during our holiday I always like to book in advance so we aren’t disappointed by just turning up in case they end up super busy. There was a good amount of parking. We were greeted with a friendly young lady at reception who gave us lots of info regarding the display and the self guided nature walk. You can choose to do this prior to the bird display or after. It’s a good 15 to 20 minute look of the birds of prey but this walk could take longer with smaller children or if you spend reasonable amounts of time at each bird enclosure. We didn’t give ourselves enough time to complete before so we decided to watch the display first and complete the walk after. The bird display arena is moderate in size and consisted of rows of wooden bench seating, however they are all one level so if you do have very small children I highly recommend arriving early and getting yourself seated to try and get one of the benches along the front to give smaller children a better view. The show started promptly and was given by a friendly and very informative guide. We were given lots of information regarding the barn owl we got to see and the Black Kites, we were also given opportunities to ask questions, kids and adults took the opportunity to do so and were given great responses by the guide which was great as they were on the spot questions so she really knew her stuff 😊 The centre is doing great things in rehabilitation for these birds of prey and they are living long and healthy lives at the centre. They are non for profit so all the money they make from our tickets etc goes straight back in to the rehabilitation of the birds. Whilst the display only had to displays there are lots of birds to walk around and see on the trail you even get to have a picture with the sooty owl which the kids love (and me) 😊 so the ticket fees are super reasonable and good value for a short activity. There’s toilets onsite which were clean and a gift shop at the end which we always try and purchase from to help put money into the rehabilitation of the birds too.

What a wonderful experience! Everything was delicious, and the wine pairs very well with everything they planned for a wine experience. The only thing that lacks flavor is the meat. Thank you, Lara, You took such good care of our special day. We were very happy with all your attention and kindness.

An unforgettable experience at Leeuwin Estate! From the moment we arrived, Leeuwin Estate exceeded all expectations. The setting is absolutely stunning — panoramic vineyard views, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a serene atmosphere that made the whole visit feel truly special. We enjoyed a divine 3-course lunch at the restaurant, and every dish was a work of art — perfectly balanced, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. A huge thank you to Marina, whose service was exceptional throughout. Warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, she made our dining experience feel seamless and genuinely welcoming. The wine, of course, was the star of the show. Each glass was a delight — elegant, complex, and a perfect match with the food. We especially loved the Estate Brut, a true standout. Leeuwin Estate offers the perfect blend of fine dining, world-class wines, and natural beauty. A must-visit if you’re in Margaret River. We can’t wait to return!

Immaculately kept, run by the friendliest volunteers. 1.8km long so quite walkable, otherwise the little solar powered train can be taken. Buy tickets beforehand, if you have purchased online you still need to collect physical tickets. The train waits for 10 minutes before the return trip unless you have booked the underwater experience then it's 1 hour & 10 minutes. Other than that you walk back. On the day we went we were lucky to have a couple of dolphins

The best gift shop in WA! Such a great choice of good quality gifts to buy which were beautifully displayed. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and a special thanks to Kay for the wonderful beaches you recommended which did not disappoint.

Bunbury Wildlife Park is a beautiful zoological park that offers a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff was friendly and knowledgeable. At the entrance, we had the opportunity to meet Maui, a young Macaw. The keepers provided insightful information during the kangaroo talk, showcasing their expertise. The park features a wide variety of Australian wildlife, including several stunning walk-through aviaries filled with birds. The enclosures are thoughtfully designed, providing plenty of enrichment, and are extremely well maintained. All the animals were healthy and are living their best lives at Bunbury Wildlife Park. The entry fee was very reasonable, and there are many shaded areas for both visitors and animals to relax. Bunbury Wildlife Park is a must-see when visiting the city of Bunbury!

Very short little walk but still great to learn. Good little pavilion to sit and listen but be protected from the rain.

Great little beach! Dolphins swam right up close to us, was amazing to see so many of them! 🐬

A fantastic market with fresh, local produce! Bunbury Farmers Market is a must-visit for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality food. The variety of local produce is incredible — from fresh fruits and vegetables to meats, cheeses, and baked goods, there’s something for everyone. The market is well-organized, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I love that you can support local farmers and producers while shopping for great ingredients. It’s the perfect place to pick up fresh produce for the week or grab a delicious ready-made meal. Highly recommended for anyone in the area!

Great park for the grandson who is 4 soon to be 5 to use. There's lots for kids to play on, plenty of space, seating, tables and BBQ's.

First we were aware of it was as we drove past and said "What the". The kids would love it, particularly the youngens. We thought it was pretty good as well. A small parking area, but not a lot of room if you have a van. It does meander for a good 300+m, so take your time. Bring a gnome and find a home. There would be 10 000 + gnomes in various poses and groups. Plenty of space for wheelchairs, and there are toilets as well.

Amazing! Loved every bit. The cheese is of course incredible, staff are lovely, stayed in the Bush Cottages, it was so sweet and beautiful, cheese platter on arrival, marshmallows for hot chocolate (it’s the small things that make a stay). Comfy beds, peace and calm on the verandah looking at the sheep and wildlife while completely devouring cheese platters! Sheep milking was very interesting, dogs were gorgeous and so hard working, got to pet King and Oliver. A great weekend, we will be back…a lot 🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a gorgeous spot! Words cannot describe how beautiful it is. There are a few different walks that are available depending on how long you want to be there for. Each walk is breathtaking. The autumn colours are gorgeous. Reds, yellows, oranges, green, the trees are just full of colour.

Who doesn’t love a lolly shop - especially one that sells our sought after scotch tablet! (Thankyou!) Love the decorative colourful tree upon entry. All your favourite lollies/candys plus some, in addition to Dr Pepper in the fridge.

What a delight to visit this store! ‘Higgelty piggelty’ - with little sections to visit in everywhere, outdoors and in. Starting with the beautiful garden with camellia flowers leading down to the whimsical gingerbread house. Ducks roaming the gardens just add to the charm of this beauty. Inside - so many gorgeous items I’ve not seen in many (any) other stores- a very large Christmas deco section (in July!), jewellery, garden items, kitchen items. Too much to list! Ladies working were charming and friendly - telling us about the history of the store and who it was named after. So glad we stopped by!

Been wanting to go to this place, and once I arrived, I had to climb the tree straight away. There was another group, but no queue in mid-October. The first platform (10m) is already high, and the top platform was closed at that time. I'm 164cm and I can rest my knee on the metal rod comfortably when I climb up or down when I need a little break. I wore a small backpack and it's fine, but if it's bigger, you can get stuck while climbing. Make sure you don't drop your phone if you put it in your pocket. There's no safety net, so it really on you to focus on climbing, and if in doubt, maybe try climbing some and decide if you want to keep going or not. Great experience, great view, must try if you're not afraid of heights!

If you are after a good workout and like challenging off road bike rides maybe take the rainbow trail from Pemberton to the Big Brook Dam. The trail starts from Pump hill road on the western side of the creek on the eastern side of the road. Look for the small yellow triangle trail marks with the rainbow serpent logo. It’s about 5.2 km and it took us at least 1 hour on our e-bikes, but we had to push our bikes up most of the steep hilly sections. It was worth it, the bush is beautiful tiger snakes included, and the lovley smooth asphalt path circumnavigating the dam is very nice. There is even a white sand beach with refreshing mountain stream swimming 🥶

Hubby and I visited the Pemberton tramway during our stay down south and did the tour into the forest. Our tram driver Peter was professional and friendly and gave an informative and engaging commentary on the way to the cascades. We loved seeing the forest and cascades and had such an enjoyable time overall. We highly recommended this experience to anyone passing through town.

It is a lovely place to walk around even though cannot climb the tree. It is no longer safe to climb anymore if you talked to the park ranger instead of making judgment by self. There is a national park fee required. If you have the annual national park pass, then you are good to go like us. We got lots of information from the lady from the entrance.

Our visit to Understory Art and Nature Trail was an absolute delight! As a family with a curious 2-year-old daughter, we were thrilled by the interactive art pieces scattered throughout the trail. Each exhibit seemed to spark her imagination, and watching her engage with the artwork was truly heartwarming. The trail itself was well-maintained and provided a perfect blend of nature and creativity. We highly recommend this trail to families looking for a unique and enriching outdoor experience!

Good place to stop for lunch, picnic tables and quite a sizeable undercover area with a BBQ and toilet. It's a 6.5km drive in and out, the dirt road was fairly pot holed in places. The falls are worth the short walk to have a look at, also some interesting vegetation including native orchids and grass trees.

When like us on a road trip, it’s easy to compare motels. This has been our favourite between Perth and esperance. The rooms were more spacious and cleaner than anywhere else. The owners were delightful and their prices are lower than most other places. The restaurant is fantastic, prices are the same as most places but the quality of the Indian food was top notch, very fresh and tasty, and their pizzas were excellent. Definitely recommend as a great place to stay the night.

After a busy day at work, I decided to finish up a bit early to take a drive for a walk among nature. I’d seen signage for the Valley of the Giants and thought it would be a lovely way to finish the day. The drive is pretty easy, a couple of sharp turns along the winding road but once you arrive there is plenty of parking. The entrance, and the Tree Top Walk itself, is flat so is suitable for prams and wheelchairs. The Tree Top Walk is about 600m long and is on a really gentle gradient. So whether you’re as fit as a fiddle or a bit of a slow walker, it’s suitable for all. After each short walk, there is a junction point of a couple of metres diameter where you can rest or go past anyone who is a bit slower than you are. I was there at the end of the day, in winter, so pretty much had the whole Tree Top Walk to myself 😊 You don’t need to worry about heights as the highest point is only 40 metres above ground and be aware there is a little bit of movement in the platforms as you walk, but you are completely safe. Just make sure you hold on to your phone or camera, wouldn’t want to drop it! The view from the walk is beautiful. Listening to the sounds of nature and looking up at the trees which are at least another 10 metres above you is so relaxing. Make sure you take some time to also appreciate how they constructed the wealk. Very minimal damage to the bush and it kinda blends in….well at least it’s not an eyesore. 😉 Once you’ve done the loop of the Tree Top Walk, there is a ground level Ancient Empire walk where you are walking among, and sometimes through, the trees. Nearly all of this 650m walk is accessible for all abilities and it’s really pretty. There are signs along the way and some great photo ops too. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Such a lovely place for us as dinosaur, reptile, and bird lovers! Beautifully unique, and the owner is clearly passionate about his work. You get to hold and pet some of gorgeous birds and a lovely little snake, and there are two rescue kangaroos that you can feed. A really sweet stop on our way to Denmark.

We recently stayed at Ducketts Mill winery and it was absolutely beautiful! We all remarked everyday how much we loved it there. It feels really peaceful whilst being able to get a lovely coffee in the morning or the best part a phenomenal cheeseboard delivered to your caravan! We had multiple cheeseboards they were honestly that good. Pair it with a bottle of their wine and you are in heaven. Highly recommend their Chardonnay it was so yum. The owners and staff are so lovely and made us feel very welcome. They have lovely dogs who were so friendly and great with our golden retriever Frank as were the staff. Thank you so much for having us we will definitely be back 🫶🏼

Nice car park. asphalted and loads of spaces. access to Greens Pool only.

Absolutely stunning spot! The water is crystal clear with amazing shades of green and blue, and there’s a small hidden beach that’s great for a swim or just relaxing. Easy walk from the car park and not too crowded when we went. A must-visit if you’re in the Denmark or Albany area. Great for photos, picnics, and just soaking in the natural beauty.
