The Cape to Cape Walk in Margaret River is a fully guided small group walk, combining the best walking on the Cape to Cape track with gourmet food and wine experiences and deluxe accommodation.
Breathe deeply and relax into four days of blissful walking in the magnificent Margaret, a paradise of endless shorelines, coastal heaths and lush forests that invigorate and restore those that come to explore.
You’ll discover stunning headlands, some of the world’s best beaches, limestone caves and wander under the magical canopy of WA’s Karri forests – some of the tallest species of trees in the world – along the way.
Hiking next to the Indian Ocean, opportunities to swim in the crystal blue waters and gorgeous rock pools abound throughout the day to refresh as you hike.
Exclusive Accommodation
This is a lodge based walk, where guests return each day to stay at an exclusive beachfront property, Injidup Spa Retreat, for the duration of the walk.
This intimate coastal retreat provides the kind of tranquillity and privacy that is difficult find. Relax in private villas with uninterrupted ocean views, and private plunge pools overlooking the national park.
There is also a spa retreat plus a communal area for Great Walks of Australia guests to use for group dinners.
It’s a perfect spot to experience the sunset over the Indian Ocean, preferably while enjoying a glass of Margaret River wine from your private bar of select wines.

Walk Itinerary
- Day One Arrive in Margaret River late morning and enjoy your first walk on the Cape to Cape Track - from Smiths Beach to Injidup beach - with lunch and a swim in a secluded bay along the way. On arrival at Injidup Spa Retreat [pictured], enjoy a welcome drink on the clifftop (weather permitting) before settling in to enjoy some wine and cheese and your first sunset by your villa plunge pool. Enjoy a casual dinner with local wines in your villa tonight.
- Day Two After a gourmet breakfast hamper in your villa, you will make your way to Cape Naturaliste for your 14km walk along the limestone coastline to Yallingup, passing famous surf-breaks on this mostly clifftop walk. Sugarloaf Rock is a highlight today; jutting from the ocean this granite rock formation is visible in the distance on much of the Cape to Cape Walk. This afternoon you have time for a massage at the relaxing in-house Spa, before a wonderful private chef dinner and hosted wine tastings in the lounge. The chef will showcase local produce to the group over a three-course dinner, while you sample wines from a leading Margaret River winery.
- Day Three Today’s walk is arguably the most stunning, taking in 14 kilometres of the Cape to Cape from Redgate Beach to Boranup Karri Forest. You will be dwarfed by the karri trees and marvel at the jaw-dropping views from the cliff-top above pristine Contos beach, and enjoy lunch in the forest today. Later, you will be transferred to a Margaret River vineyard for a private tasting with the owner, before dinner at an acclaimed local restaurant.
- Day Four This morning your walk is a gentle three hours from Moses Rock to Wilyabrup sea cliffs. Witness the powerful Indian Ocean waves crashing into the granite cliffs, and the turquoise hues standing out against the orange rocks. Standing on top of the cliffs you’ll be treated to 180-degree views of the coastline and a wonderful sense of achievement at the distance you’ve covered. Afterwards, it’s time for a celebratory lunch at Margaret River's founding winery, Vasse Felix. Enjoy four courses with premium wine matches overlooking the vines and enjoy browsing the onsite gallery and cellar door before your transfer to Perth (or back to your car locally for self-drivers).
