Wine Tours
While you are staying at Broadwater Resort we highly recommend a wine tour to experience the Margaret River Wine Region. Our friends at Wine For Dudes can take you (guys & girls) on an amazing day out to visit four award-winning boutique wineries, two gourmet food producers & a local micro-brewery - plus lunch is included! Booking is simple and can be done by clicking here!
Whale Watching
The Margaret River region plays host to an estimated 35,000 whales annually – more than twice that of the east coast and for a much longer season. From June through to December you can witness the beauty of Southern Right Whales and Humpbacks in the wild.
You can see the whales by boat with an experienced charter operator such as Legend Charters, Jet Adventures, Whale Watching Charters or Naturaliste Charters
