Sightseeing
Formerly known as the Yallingup Cave, Ngilgi Cave is one of the many natural wonders of the South West, steeped in Australian Aboriginal Mythology. With its breathtaking stalactites, stalagmites, helictites and luminous shawls, it's truly no wonder that it was Western Australia's first tourist attraction.

KAS Helicopters provide the experience of a lifetime, showcasing the best the south-west has to offer from a unique aerial perspective, with highly skilled, experienced local pilots backed by a modern fleet.
They are very accommodating and will often be able to coordinate your flight from one of the local wineries that they frequent. I would recommend organising a 30 minute flight around the south-west, particularly over Dunsborough, Canal Rocks and Injidup, as the sights are truly breath taking.

Organic boutique winery
Gralyn Estate is recognised as one of Australia's most prestigious boutique wineries and was the first winery to open a cellar door in the Margaret River region. Gralyn produces both dry and sweet wines, however my personal palette lends towards the sweeter variety so I would suggest trying the Late Harvest Red and the Late Harvest White wine - although their chocolate fortified wines are also to-die-for! The owners Merilyn and Graham have many amazing stories and if you are fortunate enough to meet them on your visit you may be treated to an informative and engaging discussion of the early pioneering days.
