Once you’re in this lively coastal town of Margaret River, you will want to settle and enjoy the scene. How best to get around? You have a few options.

First, most people prefer to have a car here, though it’s not necessary. You can walk most places in Margaret River and there are hiking trails that surround the river. From these hiking trails, you can certainly enjoy the view, take in all the beauty that’s around and get some exercise to boot. However, if you want to get to the beaches,the bush or the wineries a car is essential.

There are some local tour operators that will pick you up from hotel or key pick-up points and will take you to some of the best wineries in the region. In fact, this is a great option so that everyone in your party can enjoy the premium wines of the region, as Western Australia takes drinking and driving extremely seriously. 

Some visitors like to bike around Margaret River, again as a great way to get from point A to point B and enjoy the surroundings and get some activity in at the same time.

Others like like to rent a motor home for their Australian travels. Most popular tourist towns, including Margaret River, offer at least basic camping facilities.
