We stayed at some lovely chalets, the Riverglen chalets, 10 minutes walk from Margaret River. The chalets are set in a wooded area near (but not overlooking) the Margaret River.
Margaret River itself has lots of cafes and eating establishments and some interesting shops. I found some hemp yarn at The Hemp Shop and an amazing bead shop where all the beads where in jars just like a sweet shop.
The Margaret River area is very famous for its wines but it is very difficult to decide which wineries to visit. Dave wanted to visit a brewery so we went to Cowaramup Brewery where he sampled 4 of their beers and then went to a small family winery nearby which turned out to be really lovely.
As it was late in the afternoon we where given personal attention and even taken round the back to see the grapes in some of the vats and the old fashioned grape press they where going to use the next day. We tasted 3 white wines and 3 reds and all of them were very good, good enough for us to actually buy a white and 2 reds, but we will have to drink them before we come home.
