Hugging the south-western coastline of Western Australia, Margaret River sits between dramatic Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. The state’s premier wine region, its cool, temperate climate — in contrast to the warmer Swan Valley — allows it to develop more complex wines, often compared favourably to those of Bordeaux. Wine lovers will be thrilled by the choice of charming guesthouses and vineyard hotels in Margaret River, which have long been popular with weekend travellers from Perth and boasts not only wonderful vineyards, but cellar doors, farmers' markets and gourmet eateries galore.
Our Gurus have highlighted seven of the best wine hotels in Margaret River, some of which are set around historic homesteads or marvellous manor houses. There are tranquil modernist hideaways, too, as well as a stand-out glamping escape. Much of Margaret River's appeal lies in its beautiful landscapes, with undulating vineyards tucked between verdant woods or along winding riverbanks. The coast, however, is never far away, so you can combine a gourmet wine country holiday with swimming, surfing and sailing. What more could one ask for?
