When we asked for directions to a few wineries where we could eat etc we was told only minor directions and the assumption was we already new where we were going which for tourists or people who have no knowledge of the area it was disappointing

In addition to the usual maps and stuff, the staff was great in recommending things to see/do in the area and in helping us find/book a wine tour.

This centre was a stone throws distance from our town house in Tunbridge Street. Free maps of the MArgaret river region upto Augusta is available. Heaps of information leaflets and wonderful staff man the centre. Day tours can be arranged from here.Parking available near the IGA a short stroll from the Centre.

It isn't! It's a cultural scion belonging to Augusta! The lighthouse is beautiful and it's part of Augusta and adjacent to the beautiful Blackwood River — NOTHING TO DO WITH MARGARET RIVER (which is a bit less than a swampy creek).

I went in for help in getting accommodation and Lisa was extremely helpful not only in giving me suggestions of hotels within my price range but also by making several phone calls to the hotels to ask if they met my requirements (e.g. free internet).

dropped in at the visitor's centre to get the latest map of attractions and get some ideas of places to take children. The lady there was helpful enough and efficient, but seemed to just want to get us in and out as quick as possible - which in a tourist centre which wasn't that busy was not a good look.... More

I visited the centre on behalf of my group of 11 people. The young lady who helped me provided maps, books and suggested various places of interest for our particular group. We are using our own vehicles to travel and do not require tour bookings. She also high lighted the various points of interest on one of the maps.

Lots of local information - mainly as promotional information for surrounding accommodation and attractions. The real value is in the local detailed knowledge of the staff, who can suggest venues based on your personal preferences and itinerary. A great way to start a visit to the region - plenty of free maps to guide you. There is an associated guide... More
