Here are some top-notch day trips you can enjoy without straying too far from your comfy cabin or camp set up.
Margaret River Wine Region
40 Minutes Awayย
๐ท For foodies, wine lovers, and scenic explorers.
Spend the day tasting world-class wines, enjoying long lunches at cellar doors and exploring stunning vineyards.

Don’t forget to pop into Margaret River town centre for boutique shopping and local art.
Meelup Beach & Cape Naturaliste

๐ For beach days, coastal walks, and nature spotting.
Head north toward Dunsborough and you’ll find one of WA’s most pristine stretches of coastline. Spend the morning snorkelling or paddle boarding at Meelup Beach, and then take a long walk along the Cape to Cape Track from Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse for epic ocean views. Maybe even spot a whale sighting during the season!
Yallingup
35 Minutes Away
๐ For surfing, caves and art.
Yalligup is a creative hub with a dramatic coastline. Catch the waves (or just watch the pros do it), then explore Ngilgi Cave, a stunning limestone cave filled with ancient formations. Cap off your visit with a wander through local galleries or a tasting at one of the region’s craft breweries.
Bunbury

๐ฌ For family fun and wildlife experiences.
Take a trip north to Bunbury and visit the Dolphin Discovery Centre, where you can learn about (and possible interact with) the friendly bottlenose dolphins that frequent Koombana Bay. The city also offers a great regional art gallery and waterfront cafes for lunch.
Augusta & Cape Leeuwin
1.5 Hours Away

Take a scenic drive south to Augusta, where you can visit the iconic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the most south-westerly point of Australia. It’s where the Souther and Indian Oceans meet, and the views are next-level. Time it right and you’ll see whales cruising by June to September.
