Just a five-minute drive south of the town centre you’ll discover A Maze’n, one of Australia’s largest hedge mazes. Stretching over 5,000 m2 and towering over 3 metres high, this maze is an exciting challenge for all ages.
Once you’ve found your way out, there’s more fun to be had with an 18-hole mini golf course, outdoor games, puzzles and over five hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens to explore.
Refuel with a bite to eat or coffee from the onsite café, or take advantage of the shaded gas barbeques and picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds.
If this one maze isn’t enough of a challenge, you’ll also find an adventurous timber maze at Yallingup Maze & Mini Golf.

The Margaret River Farmers Market is a vibrant hub of activity every Saturday morning. This bustling outdoor market boasts a wide array of stalls – you’ll find everything from fresh produce and artisanal goods to food trucks, freshly baked bread and coffee vans, plus a welcoming community atmosphere.
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the market or stock up on local produce for dinner. Enjoy the live music while relaxing or enjoying your tasty purchases at the undercover seating area.
Parking is ample, though it tends to fill up quickly, especially during summer and school holidays. Arriving before 9 am is best to guarantee a spot. Alternatively, consider renting a mountain bike from Reception and cycling along the Wadandi track to the markets.

A scattering of limestone caves lie beneath the Margaret River region, with six show caves open to the public, each with their own unique and intriguing features.
Stretching from north to south, you can visit Ngilgi Cave near Yallingup, Calgardup, Mammoth, Lake, and Giants Cave near Margaret River and Jewel Cave near Augusta.
Some caves offer guided tours, while others are run as self-guided or audio-guided explorations.
It’s hard to pick just one to visit, but if we had to pick a favourite it would include Mammoth Cave, with its ancient fossils and peaceful bush walk, and Lake Cave, famous for its suspended table formation – a flowstone sculpture hanging over a glassy subterranean lake.
Bookings are optional but recommended during peak periods, including school holidays and long weekends. Book tickets online for Ngilgi, Jewel, Lake, and Mammoth Caves, or purchase at the entrance upon arrival, subject to availability.
