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

Carpe Diem Vineyards

We are a family owned and run vineyard and we process our grapes in our own state-of-the-art winery, concealed in an unassuming green shed on the property. The entire winemaking process, from growing, picking and crushing the grapes, to bottling the wine is carried out on the premises. Everything is done with a touch of European tradition and style! Our exclusive tastings will provide a special insight into how these wines are made, while talking to one of us! We are on Johnson Road, between the Award Winning KNEE DEEP Restaurant and the Iconic BOOTLEG Brewery. Thank you and looking forward to see you! Gianfranco and Francesca

We were taken her by our wine tour guide Alex from unwind tours. We were lucky enough to have Gianfranco the wine maker so our tasting! Gianfranco is an absolute delight and we had such a great time . Their wines are just wonderful with many Italian varieties. We would definitely go back on our next visit to Margs ????

THE GROVE DISTILLERY & BREWERY

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.

Reviewed By Lukov - Greater Perth, Australia

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!

Lake Cave

Lake Cave is a stunning crystal wonderland; the only cave in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge with a permanent lake. The water acts as a mirror, reflecting the myriad of delicate crystal straws above. The cave is renowned for the ‘Suspended Table’ – a massive calcite decoration, weighing several tonnes, that hangs from the ceiling and almost touches the surface of the lake. The precinct features an interpretative centre, retail and cafe facilities. Located 20 kilometres south of Margaret River.

Ngilgi Cave

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!
