Just three hours south of Perth lies the famed Australian wine region and town of Margaret River. A flourishing corner of flora and fauna on this island continent, partly owing to the eponymous river’s ancient silt, the Margaret River region is known for its excellent viticulture as much as its pristine coastline.
Craft breweries and wineries abound in this Western Australian destination, yet so do the offerings of the natural world. Return to nature when you’ve had enough of wine tasting, exploring local-favourite natural springs, limestone caves of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park or watching out to sea for migrating whales.
We’ve curated an edit of some of the best Margaret River Airbnbs for group getaways, romantic escapes and everything in between. Read on for our top picks, from riverside chalets to architectural ventures hidden by bush.

It’s hard to beat the views of ocean and the Margaret River itself from this waterfront chalet. Soak in the spa bath or relax in the steam shower before getting cosy by the fire after a day of exploring the water. You can bring your dog along for getaway, too – though it might be best to keep them on a lead if they tend to wander due to the visiting kangaroos.
