The best river, stream, or creek cabins near Margaret River guide

When to go

The Margaret River region's relatively mild climate makes it a pleasure to visit any time of year, though winter (June through August) can be chilly and wet. Summer (December through February) brings pleasantly warm-to-hot days that are best for enjoying the beaches and surfing, while the crisp days of spring (September through November) are ideal for viewing the colorful wildflowers that bloom around the area. The region has the longest whale-watching season in Australia. You can spot migrating humpback, southern right, and occasional blue whales from June through August in Flinders Bay, Augusta, and from September to early December in Geographe Bay, Busselton.

Know before you go

There are limited local bus services between Margaret River, Augusta, and Busselton: Renting a car is the most convenient way to travel.
As a major tourist center, you’ll find plenty of places to stock up on supplies in Margaret River.
Entry fees apply at many parks in Western Australia. An annual park pass can save you money if you plan to visit a few.
As the region is often busy with tourists, especially in summer, it’s a good idea to make reservations in advance.
