Margaret River, WA 6285

Margaret river is my favorite places to date, my family and i loved it here, so much beauty, we stayed out prevelly beach carvan park and we loved it, we only had a tent and we had the best time with limited money, the beach is a 2 min walk away, the grove is highly recommended. The people are beautifully and treat you like a local. Love love love love Margaret river

Redgate is great if you like to surf on the beach and the country but for me its ok because there are caves to visit but I its just to far away from everything.

There is nature everywhere in Margaret River, the air is clean and the people are great.
Great surf, great food and a great place to bring up kids.

it lures you in with all the hype, and then there isn't much going for it.
most people visiting actually believe that it's on the beach!
good place if you have a spare million in your pocket.
people on an average salary get greeted by petrol twenty cents higher than perth as they drive into town. all eateries are overpriced and aimed at the wealthy. the tav is the only place where you still get a decent size meal for reasonable price.
very little to do if you have kids and it is raining. btw, it sure does rain! about 6 months of the year.
rents are obcene, and over summer it's nearly impossible to find a rental.
most seasonal workers end up sharing houses with up to ten others.
the unlucky locals that don't own a house are being driven out of the place, as margaret river tries to emulate byron bay and fails miserably.
surf? if you are a beginner forget it. if you love huge powerful dumpers and want to share them with a packload of wannabe's and a few true locals, then it's your cuppa tea.

I love Margaret River. I have lived here for 16 years. I find it to be a friendly town with lots to do if you love a rural, outdoors lifestyle. You can crab in Busso, fish up and down the coast, bushwalk, snorkel, dive, swim at top beaches...but you can also do the cafe strip and get most of your retail therapy needs met! If not Bunbury is only 1 hour away.

There are some lovely parks for the kids and a number of schools to choose from.

Overall a great place to live!
