Cape Lodge – A Highlight for Gourmets and Wine Connoisseurs

Nestling romantically amidst the vineyards of the Margarete River wine growing region, the Cape Lodge certainly ranks among Australia’s finest boutique hotels. It is located a mere three hours’ drive south of Perth.

The setting seems to have been copied from a classic Caspar David Friedrich oil painting: The old-fashioned manor house sits above a private lake framed by lush vegetation and immaculately kept gardens.

Make yourself at home and unwind in the private and secluded ambience of the graceful Cape Lodge. Indulge in the refined style and explore the private vineyards and extensive park around the hotel.

Settle down next to the lake and admire the lodge’s clear reflection in the glittering water. The Cape Lodge is truly exceptional and, with ease, won a membership in the exclusive association Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The gourmet restaurant is located directly next to the lake. The ambience is elegant and graceful: A bright and airy room opens onto a large wooden deck that commands a wonderful view of the lake and becomes the main dining area on a clear day.

The delicacies served are sensational. Try the chocolate panna cotta with fresh strawberries served in an almond basket… just a suggestion to raise your appetite.

Those who have studied the subtle science of exquisite wines will delight over the Cape Lodge’s well stocked wine cellar. No less than fourteen thousand bottled treasures wait to be uncorked.

Not an easy choice to make… you might as well stay for a few days! Moreover, the neighbouring vineyards include a number of famous names, among others Vasse Felix, Moss Wood, Pierro and Cullen.

The Cape Lodge and the Margarete River wine growing region are a little known Australian destination but certainly one that deserves more attention. Stay two or three nights to fully appreciate the charms of this unspoilt region – you will not regret it!
