The Margaret River Escape You Didn’t Know You Were Missing

Feature: BIG4 Dunsborough Southern Stars Holiday Park

Margaret River has rightfully earned its name as one of Australia’s best wine regions, home to over 150 wineries, breweries and distilleries and some of the country’s most celebrated cellar doors. Visit in spring and you get that world-class wine scene alongside a seasonal show that only comes around once a year.

From mid-September through to early November, the coastal heathlands and national park trails around Cape Naturaliste burst into wildflower colour, with October usually the peak. At the same time, humpback whales are making their southern migration through Geographe Bay with calves in tow, viewable from clifftop lookouts or a boat out of Dunsborough or Busselton.

Add in the more than 50 beaches and surf breaks along the coast, the limestone cave systems under Caves Road, the towering karri trees of Boranup Karri Forest, and charming stops in Yallingup, Cowaramup and Margaret River town, and it’s the kind of region where you plan for a long weekend and end up wishing you’d blocked out longer.

Your Basecamp

Base yourself right in the middle of it all at BIG4 Dunsborough Southern Stars Holiday Park, a family-owned park tucked into a tranquil, tree-lined corner of the South West. It sits between the calm waters of Dunsborough and the iconic Busselton Jetty, so you’re never far from either the vines or the coast.

Choose from cabins, spacious powered caravan and camping sites, or the popular ‘Fenced Freedom Sites’ for guests travelling with dogs. It’s one of the South West’s leading dog-friendly parks, with pets welcome on every site year-round and a one-acre fenced exercise area for daily zoomies.

There’s plenty to keep the family busy without leaving the park too. Kids can lose themselves on the nature-based adventure playground, flying fox and bike pump track, while a massive all-weather camp kitchen and evening communal firepits (seasonal) give everyone a place to gather. Rainy day plans are sorted in the games room, and Lola & Ivy’s Kiosk is on hand for a coffee without having to leave the gate.

We love BIG4 Dunsborough Southern Stars Holiday Park for a Margaret River getaway, and if you haven’t been yet, it’s time to find out what you’re missing.
