2. Robe House

Looking for a charming stay? Robe House has got it in spades – largely thanks to its 1847 vintage and its early years serving as the home of the Government Resident. Built out of locally quarried sandstone and featuring high vaulted ceilings, the property is now very much rooted in the future, offering five fully self-contained apartments classified as bed and breakfast (they’ll provide provisions).

Located a short stroll from the town centre (and right by a scenic coastal walk), Robe House – set in a pretty garden – offers wi-fi, laundry facilities, barbeques, and log fires in two of the apartments, making them the perfect spot for that romantic winter getaway.

From luxury two-bedroom apartments and deluxe spa suites to standard rooms and self-contained apartments – each one offering a view of the lake – configurations vary, but all have wi-fi, access to barbeque facilities, plus a free guest laundry (perfect when you’re so close to the natural bushland and pristine beaches of the region).

5. Robe Hotel

the beachfront setting of Robe Hotel — Robe Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the beach.

An iconic fixture of the local beachside community since 1947, there’s no doubt you’ll be dropping into the Robe Hotel for a meal or two, but why not book a stay and linger a little longer?

Offering the best of country and sea, the classically built hotel and pub – conveniently located within walking distance to the town centre – boasts 16 rooms across two floors, all with balconies making the most of those views and eight of which have ensuites.

A stone’s throw from the beach and just upstairs from some of the best pub grub you’re likely to experience anywhere, this is the ultimate beachside stay at an affordable price point.

Address: 6 Munday Terrace, Robe

6. Robe Holiday Park

Welcome to a dazzling and oh-so-quiet bushland oasis located just five minutes either way from Robe’s town centre, as well as from Robe’s popular Long Beach.

Boasting just eight self-contained cabins, plus a host of powered sites for camping and caravanning, it would be easy to dismiss Robe Holiday Park as the perfect place for other families, until you consider how hard it punches for its size.

We’re talking firepits, jumping pillows, barbeque areas, an area reserved for mountain bike riding, birdwatching, a camp kitchen, and if that’s not enough, the holiday park is also home to a gin distillery. What more could anyone ask for?

Address: Corner Main Road and Nora Creina Road, Robe

7. Discovery Parks Robe

Behold the ultimate family getaway location, a lush (and rather gargantuan) world where kids can swim in the heated indoor swimming pool, play table tennis in the games room, hire a pedal bike to ride around onsite, jump on the all-important bouncing pillows and come the summertime, enjoy the kids’ club facilities.

If you’re thinking Discovery Parks Robe (formerly BIG4 Discovery Parks) has it all, you’d be right, with all cabins featuring a flat-screen TV, some offering an ensuite bathroom and most equipped with a kitchen. Camping or caravanning? All options, both powered and unpowered, are on the table.

Coin-operated laundry facilities, shared kitchen facilities and a kiosk are all available onsite, with the property located a five-minute drive from Robe’s town centre.

Address: Corner Beach Court & Lipson Terrace, Robe

9. Sea Vu Caravan Park

Prefer your holiday parks to be a little more… boutique in flavour? Sea Vu Caravan Park might be considered compact when compared with the other parks in and around Robe, but this is the only one with direct access to the sandy beaches of Guichen Bay.

Accommodation options range from over 100 grassed sites and beach shacks to ocean view cabins (with four different layouts to suit everyone from groups of six to couples). Cosy Beach Shacks and Seaside Cabins sleep up to six, also.

Classic motel stays are having a resurgence and one look at Harbour View Motel explains the popularity behind the trend. Having enjoyed multiple upgrades and renovations in recent years, the property – delightfully decorated in soothing pastel hues – is set just 50 metres from the start of a cliff-top walking track and a five-minute walk from the town centre.

A beautifully styled cottage which wouldn’t be out of place in the pages of an interiors glossy sounds good enough, but said beautifully styled cottage with the perfect location within 100 metres of Robe’s finest restaurants, boutiques and Town Beach? It’s fair to say, BASK is covering all bases beautifully.

The two-bedroom, adults-only home has everything you could need for that perfect beachside stay, including a relaxing spa bath, a private outdoor courtyard complete with Weber Q and sun lounges, and yes, a split system air conditioner, which means you’ll be comfortable in winter as well as in summer.

12. The Caledonian Inn

There’s little doubt you’ll be tempted to pop into The Caledonian Inn, a historic English-style pub built in 1858, for a bite to eat, but those on a budget (as well as those keen to make use of the property’s central location) should look no further than the accommodation options available upstairs.

The six rooms upstairs – both single and double rooms available – may share a bathroom, but they’re cosy and have quick access to the fireside pub downstairs as well as the beer garden, with prices starting from just $77 per night.

Head here for more tried and tested experiences to have in Robe.

Time your visit to Margaret River just right, and you can spend the ultimate weekend wining, dining and exploring the region with Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover.

Wine, world-class produce, surf, sun and beaches: it’s an alluring combination. And the reason so many pin the Margaret River region high on their travel hit-lists. There’s drawcard after drawcard to the southwestern corner of Western Australia, and the Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover food and wine festival showcases the best of it over the course of one weekend in November. It’s never been easier to sip, see and savour the Margaret River region.

In partnership with Pair’d Margaret River Region, Range Rover invites you on a seven-day itinerary of refined adventure, where luxury and exploration go hand in hand. It’s the perfect WA road trip, and there’s no better way to do it than in a Range Rover.

Day 1

the pool at Pullman Bunker Bay — Check into Pullman Bunker Bay.

There’s no more popular West Australian road trip route than that between Perth and the Margaret River Region. It’s an easily digestible, three-hour drive, with worthy pit stops along the way.

Make the first of them one hour and 15 minutes in, at Lake Clifton. Here, find a 2000-year-old living thrombolite reef. Drive for a further 40 minutes and chance meeting some of Bunbury’s dolphin population at Koombana Bay.

Pullman Bunker Bay is the final stop, just over three hours south of Perth. This beachfront, five-star resort is the ultimate base for exploring the Margaret River Wine region.

Day 2

After a leisurely morning breakfast with an ocean view, start your Range Rover and head towards the Dunsborough town centre. Browsing the decidedly coastal-themed goods of the town’s many independent boutiques is a great way to while away the hours, breaking up the sartorial with an artisan gelato snack stop, or some good old-fashioned Australian bakery fare.

Leave room; you’ll need it for the Good Natured Gathering dinner at Wayfinder. Indulge in a four-course feast by chef Felipe Montiel, which uses produce from the winery’s market garden to enhance a selection of sustainably sourced seafood and meat. But food is just the support act. It’s organic wine that’s the star of the show, generously poured and expertly paired to each dish.

Day 3

Settle in for cabernet at Cape Mentelle Winery.

With a grand total of 20 wines from vintage 2022 to try, it’s a good thing Cape Mentelle’s International Cabernet Tasting kicks off early. Make your way to the estate for a 10:00 AM start, where a global selection of wines will be poured blind, before a long lunch by Tiller Dining is served.

Given that the Margaret River is responsible for more than 20 per cent of Australia’s fine wine production, it’s only right to delve into it while in the area.

Continue exploring the region via taste and terroir aboard Alison Maree, a whale-watching catamaran, as you cruise Geographe Bay . Admire the rolling green hills and crisp white beaches of Quindalup in sunset’s golden light, all the while sipping through the Clairault Streicker catalogue and dining on canapes.

For a more substantial dinner, venture into Busselton for a seven-course British x Australian mash-up , courtesy of Brendan Pratt (Busselton Pavilion) and Oliver Kent (Updown Farmhouse, UK). They’ll be putting their rustic yet refined spin on the likes of local marron, wagyu and abalone – championing the simple beauty of the world-class ingredients.

Day 4

Wrap your fingers around a wine glass and wiggle your toes into the sand at Pair’d Beach Club x Range Rover on Meelup Beach. Sit down to an intimate wine session with sommelier Cyndal Petty – or a four-course feast by Aaron Carr of Yarri – and revel in the open-air beach club, bar and restaurant’s laidback coastal vibe. It’s a whole new way to experience one of the region’s most renowned beaches.

Follow up a day in the sun with a casual Italian party at Mr Barvel Wines . Purchase wines –including the elusive, sold-out Nebbia – by the glass and enjoy canapes with the towering Karri forest as a backdrop.

If you’d prefer to keep it local, head to Skigh Wines for the New Wave Gathering , where the region’s independent wine makers and their boundary-pushing wines will be on show. Street-style eats, a DJ and complimentary wine masterclasses complete the experience.

Day 5

pair'd Grand Tasting — Taste your way through Howard Park Wines. (Image: C J Maddock)

Spend the morning at your leisure, driving the winding roads through the Boranup Karri forest in your Range Rover. Soak in the views at Contos Beach, and call into the small cheese, chocolate and preserve producers along the way.

Make your next stop Howard Park Wines for The Grand Tasting presented by Singapore Airlines . Numerous wine labels will be pouring their catalogues over four hours, accompanied by food from chefs Matt Moran and Silvia Colloca, with live opera providing the soundtrack.

Cap off a big weekend with one last hurrah at Busselton Pavilion. Six ‘local legends’ – chefs Brendan Pratt (Busselton Pavilion), Mal Chow (Chow’s Table), Aaron Carr (Yarri), Ben Jacob (Lagoon Yallingup), Corey Rozario (Dahl Daddies) and Laura Koentjoro (Banksia Tavern) – will be preparing a dish each. Dance the night away as vinyl spins and the sun sets on another day.

Day 6

Ngilgi Cave western australia — Head underground. (Image: Tourism WA)

After a busy few days of wining and dining, it’s wise to observe a rest day. There’s no easier task than unwinding in the Margaret River Region, also famous for its high concentration of world-class beaches.

Relax on the grassy knoll as you watch the region’s most experienced surfers braving the World Surf League break at Surfer’s Point, or don your own wetsuit and try out one of Gracetown’s more beginner-friendly waves. Swimmers will find their Eden at Meelup Beach, Eagle Bay, or Point Piquet, where the sand is brilliantly white and the water as still as a backyard swimming pool.

Not into sun, sand, and surf? Head underground at Mammoth Cave, just one of the region’s many stalactite-filled caves.

Day 7

Burnt Ends event at Pair'd — Farewell the Margaret River.

Pack up your Range Rover with new favourite wines and newfound memories, ready for the three-hour journey back to Perth.

Prebook your discovery journey through the south-west corner of Western Australia with Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover.
