The best time to visit Margaret River is during the autumn months from March to May when the weather is mild, and the region’s wineries are in full swing with harvest activities. This season allows visitors to experience the wine-making process firsthand and enjoy the fresh autumn air while exploring the outdoors.

Spring (September to November) is another excellent time to visit, with wildflowers blooming throughout the region and mild weather that is ideal for hiking, surfing, and outdoor dining. The spring months also coincide with fewer tourists, offering a more peaceful visit.
