The South West is the ideal place to escape everyday life. With some of the country’s best beaches, world-class wineries, and ample opportunities for relaxation, it’s the ideal setting for reconnecting and creating memories with the girls.
Here’s how to plan a girls’ getaway that strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and unwinding.
Where to Stay in Margaret River and Surrounds
The first step to a successful girls’ trip is finding the perfect home base. Margaret River Properties offers a range of accommodation options across the region’s most desirable locations.
For beach lovers, consider a property in Prevelly or Gracetown where you can wake up to ocean views and morning beach walks. If you’re planning a wine-focused trip, staying in Margaret River town or Yallingup puts you in the heart of wine country.
Groups looking for luxury might prefer Eagle Bay or Dunsborough, where spacious homes often come with amenities like outdoor entertaining areas and sometimes even private pools.
Busselton and Quindalup offer excellent value while still providing easy access to the region’s attractions.
