Food scene
A favourite with some of our guests. It was rewarded with its first Chef Hat plus regional restaurant
of the year finalist in 2020. Enjoy the complete culinary experience with an emphasis on integrating
flavours, textures and design (a little like MasterChef). Watch out for their lunch & matching wine
packages. One of the attractions of Arimia is that they produce their own pork, trout, eggs, olives,
vegetables and more

They only do lunch and this is one of our favourites. Fresh Asian fusion food with their own wine label. Love the sushi options. Tasting of wine available before dining. Smart casual. This place has a fresh, modern decor with outdoor and indoor seating. Just across the road from the chocolate factory.

For a more upmarket experience with an extensive menu, including a separate vegetarian menu,
coupled with a chic setting and a stunning vista. The Cellar Door is a ‘must experience’ and ‘wow
factor’!! Just be warned there is a considerable mark up on wine prices from cellar door to
restaurant. So rather than order that second bottle, maybe bring one home from the cellar door.

The largest and most decorative cave in the area. This cave is relatively young (1 million years old) and is in very good condition. Jewel Cave is close to Augusta, which is a lovely ‘old style’ sea side town. In the warmer months Flinders Bay is a lovely spot to visit, for swimming and picnic. You can also drive out to the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. It is the biggest light house in Australia. You can purchase a ticket to both Jewel Cave and the Lighthouse at the Margaret River Tourism Centre for approx. $40.00.
