We’ve answered some of the most common questions from our guests — covering everything from check-in times, included amenities, and how to get here, to local attractions and what to pack.

The best way to get to Margaret River is by car, allowing approximately 3.5 hours of drive time from both Perth City and Perth Airport. The drive is straightforward and scenic, taking you through the picturesque South West region of Western Australia.
There are also coach services available (such as TransWA) that run between Perth and Margaret River. However, we highly recommend hiring a car once you arrive — having your own vehicle is the most convenient way to explore the region, including local beaches, wineries, forests, and attractions that aren’t always accessible by public transport.
For guests flying into Perth, car hire is available at the airport and can be pre-booked for convenience.

The convenience of off-street and nearby parking means you can safely leave your vehicle and explore the town on foot — with the main street just moments away.
