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.

Margaret River is home to several fantastic family-friendly brewery restaurants, ideal for a relaxed lunch outing. These venues feature extensive outside seating and play areas, perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
Beer Farm is found just 15 minutes north of RAC Margaret River Nature Park. Set in a converted rustic barn that was once a dairy farm, you’ll pass through the old milking stalls at the entrance. The menu features hearty classics, like juicy burgers, smoked beef brisket and maple-glazed chicken wings. There are also gourmet vegetarian options to keep everyone happy. During summer, the kids will love the giant slip-and-slide set up on the hillside.
The Brewhouse Margaret River is a local favourite, a quick 5-minute drive from RAC Margaret River Nature Park. The menu includes pub classics, tasty pizzas and Asian-influenced dishes. Enjoy the views from the outdoor seating overlooking the lawn and play area, or opt for a spot on the spacious undercover patio.
CBCO Brewing offers one of the largest playgrounds in the area, set on their expansive grounds with relaxed outdoor seating. While you sample a tasting paddle and dine on their range of pizzas, the kids will be kept entertained by the outdoor games, like cornhole, set up on the grass. You can even try your hand at hitting golf balls into the dam at the Short Iron Range.
To ensure your spot, especially during weekends and busy school holiday periods, book in advance online.

This European-style bakery holds the title for one of the most popular bakeries in the south west.
The eclectic and homely bakery serves up all your favourites – from huge flaky almond croissants and soft fluffy cinnamon scrolls, to hot baked pies and loaded mushroom halloumi bagels. Best of all, it’s only a 30-minute walk, 10-minute cycle or 5-minute drive from RAC Margaret River Nature Park.
Savour your goodies on the outdoor patio or relax on the cosy couches on the deck. While weekends see a long line, it tends to move quickly. After your treat, go for a leisurely bushwalk in the forest opposite the bakery, following the trail along winding river to discover a picturesque weir.
You’ll also find the Margaret River Bakery at the Margaret River Farmers Market every Saturday morning.
