Luxurious Margaret River Accommodation
(Western Australia's South West Jewel)

By James Lush

Any visit to Western Australia would be incomplete without a trip down to the beautiful South West of the state. Here, you'll find spectacular coastlines, lush green forests, long winding roads, fabulous boutique wineries and Margaret River - the Jewel of the South West.

Blessed with a perfect Mediterranean oceanside climate, this soulful corner of Australia is perfect for those looking to kick back and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If your accommodation taste is upmarket, I recommend you investigate the following 3 delightful stays:
