For many visitors to the South West area of West Australia it is tricky to choose where to choose your Margaret River accommodation as the South West appears both enormous and spread over an huge area including many towns and hamlets not to mention the assorted superb galvanizing beaches the area is free-flowing with. Small towns like Dunsborough, Yallingyup, Augusta and Margaret Brook itself are there to make a choice between. So where should you start and what’s a good central point to base yourself?

Well many new vacation makers will not of heard about Caves Road until they are perhaps in the South West itself or planning their trip, but Caves Road stretches some 100km from north to south up and back down the shore. Beginning from before Dunsborough, winding its merry way all the way to Augusta, where the Indian Sea meets the almighty Southern Sea. You would be brave to try and drive the whole 100km in twenty-four hours and if you did you’d be sure to miss many hid jewels tucked in heaps of the side roads.

Caves Road is free-flowing with history for it was a relatively short period back the 1st settlers would make their way down old scrub tracks in the expectancy of finding satisfactory farming land to start their new way of life. Migrants from the UK some 80 years gone would generally head for country pastures in the hope of building a new successful land of opportunity. And so started the rich catalogue of history which for a few years was typically a farming diary way of living, handling their cattle attempting to survive. Fast track to the early 70’s and generations of farmers started to consider changing their way of life from diary farming to viticulture and trying out their luck at cultivating grapes.

Vasse Felix winery was seemingly one of the first wineries to become established and now today the list is as long as the options for accommodation.
