Easter Egg Hunts and Festivities
Several local wineries and attractions host special Easter egg hunts that delight children of all ages. The Easter Fair at Cowaramup Oval features rides, market stalls and activities designed specifically for families, while the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Xanadu Wines combines fun for the little ones with premium wine tasting for parents.
Beach Adventures
Easter typically brings calm waters and pleasant temperatures to our beaches. Meelup Beach offers protected swimming, perfect for families, while Gnarabup Beach provides gentle waves for boogie boarding beginners. Pack a picnic and make a day of exploring the rockpools and building sandcastles along our pristine coastline.
A Maze’n Margaret River
This beloved attraction is a family favourite with its giant hedge maze (one of the biggest in Australia), mini-golf course, and beautiful gardens. During Easter, they often host special activities, including their famous Easter challenge, where children search for hidden treasures throughout the maze.

Romantic Easter Escapes for Couples
Autumn Vineyard Experiences
Easter coincides with the tail end of vintage season, making it a magical time to tour our world-class wineries. Many cellar doors offer special Easter weekend tastings, with Voyager Estate and Leeuwin Estate providing elegant long-table lunches that showcase seasonal autumn produce paired with their exceptional wines. For a laid-back experience, try out Walsh & Sons or Stella Bella.
Coastal Walks and Sunset Picnics
The Cape to Cape Track is particularly beautiful during Easter, with sections like the walk from Smith’s Beach to Canal Rocks offering breathtaking coastal views without summer’s intense heat. Pack a gourmet picnic from the Margaret River Farmers Market and find a secluded spot to watch the sunset with a glass of local wine.
Indulgent Spa Retreats
Easter provides the perfect excuse to indulge in some couples’ pampering. Bodhi Wellness Spa and Injidup Spa Retreat offer couples’ treatments using native ingredients that will leave you both rejuvenated and connected.
Twilight Cave Tours
Experience the ancient beauty of Jewel Cave or Lake Cave by candlelight on a special twilight tour. These intimate experiences showcase the caves’ crystal formations in a romantic, otherworldly atmosphere that’s perfect for couples.
