Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Mammoth cave name because of the size of the cave. We were in a large group that was broken into two groups. Very easy entry into the cave as we had a large group so had a local guide. Wonderful experience to view the stalactites and stalagmites lit up wonderful + the skeletal remains of animals found in the cave. Quite a few steps & some grades to climb but if you take your time it is easy.

    My wife had been here a few times, so when we came to Australia, it was one place I wanted to visit, because of all the descriptions I had had from her. I was impressed on arrival by the stunning gardens and when we went to the shop, again, I was impressed with what was on offer. What I really wanted to do was to have a meal and watch all the birds coming to the table while we were eating. The food was fabulous and the staff attentive and helpful, unfortunately due to the amount of dogs in the eating area, every time the birds came to the tables, the dogs either tried to get them or started barking scaring them away. If this is the main selling point of this lovely place, why are dogs allowed in to frighten the birds away? The birds were the main reason I wanted to go there, imagine my disappointment to watch these dogs frighten the birds away. Please if you want more people to visit stop the dogs going into the eating area and scaring away the birds. We also noticed dogs walking in a quarantine area. After we had moved tables twice we did manage to get a few birds to the table, at one point there were more dogs than customers.

    The views were amazing and so were the beaches! Worth the trip down there! The sand is awesome and so is the water! Hit it up if you’re in the area

    We enjoyed walking around the aviaries and seeing and hearing the different birds. The flying display was informative and gave us a glimpse of how the birds would act if they were in the wild and why they couldn’t be released.
    Our visit was a highlight of our trip and we showed a staff member some photos of birds of prey we had seen in Busselton which he quickly identified for us.

    I don't usually review roads but will make an exception this time. Caves Road is a narrowish, winding, sealed road that takes you past wineries and through some lovely timbered countryside. It has a sensible speed limit but drivers need to be alert nevertheless.

    Well worth taking a drive.

    The best views of Gnarabup Beach are from the lookout which provides good views of the beach itself and the coastline on both sides of the beach. This was a pretty bewacj and popular

    The size and magnificence of the trees in Borranup is amazing. You feel small in comparison. Such a quiet, peaceful and calm setting. A walk here is recommended.

    A fun little excursion for the family! Will be very entertaining for under 10s, and the parents will get a good giggle out of some of the attractions too.

    In terms of time, most families could get 30 mins to an hour out of the illusions.

    The cafe is stocked with top tier goodies too: Gabriel's chocolate is the best in the region!

    Great farm for young families - great playground and range of animals to feed daily!

    Redgate Beach is popular with surfers but is a wild beach with pretty and quite rugged scenery. Care would be needed to swim here with many rocks and currents but one of the prettiest and more spectacular for scenery

    Located in the TAFE just away from the main area of the township of Margaret River. Was quite busy - would suggest getting there earlier rather than later. There were a few coffee vans, pancake, dumpling, gelati type of vendors for a quick breakfast. A number of wineries and local cottage food suppliers. A few fruit & veg places as well.

    We were able to pick up fresh produce for brunch. It wasn't big, it wasn't small. For a rural market - it had a fair bit. We spent a little under an hour there but you could spend more.

    It may not be the easiest place to swim but it was very pretty with stretches of sand, rocky outcrops and good surf. A vey pretty place on a sunny day.

    This was the last vineyard on our full-day’s tour so our group had all got to know one another a bit however, the friendly, funny yet knowledgeable host and owner Matt made this visit extra special for us.
    He easily blended interesting facts about the development of his vineyard with jokes and banter throughout the tastings so we all felt relaxed and at ease.
    Next time we go we may take up the option of their campground, which includes complimentary wine tasting too…
    It almost goes without saying that we bought a few bottles to enjoy at home, including their ‘pièce de resistance’ wine that’s fortified - imaginatively abbreviated to WTF!
