A Perfect Weekend at Barnwood Escape
Two unforgettable days in Margaret River.
Some places ask you to fill every hour.
Margaret River rewards you for slowing down.
Wake with the forest outside your window, spend the day exploring world-class wineries, secluded beaches and towering karri forests, then return to Barnwood Escape for a long dinner around the table, a glass of local wine and an evening by the fire.
If we were planning the perfect weekend in Margaret River, this is exactly how we'd spend it.
Friday Afternoon
Arrive. Settle in. Slow down.
There's no rush here.
Collect a few local cheeses, fresh bread and a bottle of Margaret River wine on your way through town before making your way to Barnwood Escape.
Take a moment to wander through the house, open the doors to the surrounding forest and let the pace begin to soften.
As the afternoon light filters through the trees, enjoy a drink on the deck before gathering everyone around the dining table for a relaxed dinner together.
Sometimes the best part of arriving is deciding not to go anywhere else.
Saturday Morning
Coffee, coastline and quiet moments.
Start the day slowly.
Pick up coffee and pastries from one of Margaret River's excellent cafés before heading towards the coast while the beaches are still peaceful.
Spend the morning walking along the shoreline, watching surfers from the cliffs or simply finding a quiet stretch of sand to enjoy the fresh ocean air.
Whether you choose Gnarabup, Redgate or one of the region's lesser-known beaches, the morning is best enjoyed without a schedule.
Saturday Afternoon
Long lunches and world-class wineries.
No visit to Margaret River is complete without experiencing its extraordinary wine region.
Choose one or two wineries rather than trying to see everything. The joy is in taking your time.
Enjoy a leisurely tasting, settle in for a long lunch overlooking the vines and discover why Margaret River has become one of Australia's most celebrated food and wine destinations.
Afterwards, browse a local gallery, stop at a farm gate or simply enjoy the scenic drive back through the forest.
Saturday Evening
Back to Barnwood Escape.
As the sun begins to disappear behind the trees, return to your private retreat.
Prepare dinner together in the fully equipped kitchen, uncork another bottle of local wine and settle into an evening that doesn't need an itinerary.
This is what Barnwood Escape was designed for—bringing people together.
The conversations always seem to last a little longer here.
Sunday Morning
Discover another side of Margaret River.
After breakfast, spend your final morning exploring one of the region's beautiful walking trails or towering karri forests.
If you're feeling adventurous, visit one of the spectacular limestone caves or simply enjoy one last coffee before heading home.
There's always another place to discover—and another reason to return.
Until Next Time
The best weekends are rarely the busiest.
They're the ones where conversations linger, mornings begin slowly and memories are made in between the plans.
Barnwood Escape offers more than luxury accommodation in Margaret River.
It provides the space to reconnect—with nature, with family and friends, and with the simple pleasure of slowing down.
We hope to welcome you soon.
