Now the cooler weather is here, it’s the perfect time to slow down, relax and get cosy. Western Australia’s South West region is well known for its temperate climate year-round, and there’s no better place to get away in winter than the Margaret River Region. So if verdant fields, dewy forest gullies and roaring fireplaces sound appealing to you, we’ve highlighted some of the best Margaret River holiday homes to settle into this winter.

Plus, with Exclusive Escapes’ Winter Specials available at selected properties until August 2024 – you can stay for four nights and pay for three, or stay seven nights and only pay for five. 

Luxe, Private Margaret River Holiday Homes

Incognito is a stunning home that offers a sense of seclusion while still being close to the Margaret River township. Offering sweeping views of the ocean from luxuriously comfortable surroundings, as night settles in, you can follow in its footsteps around the hypnotic fireplace whilst watching the stars through the home’s glass pyramid roof.

Every room offers a view, including the double deep private ensuite spas and glass-enclosed Jacuzzi room. Yes, a private room with a stunning stone feature wall and bi-fold doors that open to offer 180-degree views of the ocean. Nothing is stopping you from soaking away the winter chill and stress of city life. Architecturally designed, Zorzi built, and with Maria Monaco’s interior design, this truly is an exquisite stay to be fondly remembered or returned to time and again.

Idyllic Margaret River Accommodation for Wine Lovers

If you’re a family of wine connoisseurs dreaming of a wholesome holiday surrounded by natural settings and a working vineyard, this one is for you. Check out this short-stay accommodation at Edwards Winery which is sure to pop your cork. Located between the popular townships of Gracetown and Margaret River, you’ll be right by the cellar door/restaurant of Old Kent River Winery. 

Alternatively, stay in and feast on fine produce foraged from the area — the well-equipped kitchen is the ideal place to prepare a nourishing winter soup or hearty breakfast (maybe with some warm, crusty bread from the Yallingup Woodfired Bakery).

Surrounded by stunning scenery, inside, there’s the simple joy of a cosy open fireplace to gather around in the evenings, and space for indoor games and puzzles, all in the warmth of the home’s rammed earth and timber design. Spacious and light-filled, this home has been designed to accommodate three families with comfort in mind when hosting up to 11 people.

Farmhouse With a Roaring Fireplace in Margaret River

Sure, a Cab Sav or Merlot is perfect for a winter’s eve, but if you also fancy a cheeky beer, the Burton Farmhouse is an incredible rural retreat located close to the Cheeky Monkey Brewery. It boasts a beautiful vineyard, too, perfect for a misty morning walk and some grade-A photo opportunities. 

Located in Wilyabrup Valley, 15km north of Margaret River along Caves Road, you’ll be able to pop into town on a whim, explore some of Australia’s premium wineries, or retreat for the weekend to your sanctuary. A slow-combustion wood fireplace keeps the whole home toasty or sit on the porch to grab some morning sun rays. A short walk, and you’re at Margaret Rivers’ most loved and family-friendly brewery/restaurant (no Tazza’s Taxi required), with an expansive menu for adults and children.

Margaret River Accommodation Near the Beach

There’s no better way to beat the winter blues than at Surfers Retreat, a stunning stay just 5 minutes from the famous Surfers Point main break. While close to the beach, being a 3-hectare bush block you’re sheltered from any squalls. With five bedrooms, two living areas and a huge 12-seat dining table (by local furniture maker Jeremy from Bluetree Designs), it’s the perfect place for family and friends to enjoy a surf or settle in for some quality time. 

Or gaze upon the azure ocean from Bondys Beach House, a double-storey testament to the old-school beach shack that almost hugs you with the warm memories of childhood family holidays. There may be no better vantage point on earth to watch the sunset over the ocean – though you’ll have to pick between the dining room, comfy couches or rustic charm of its wooden deck.
