The South West continues to reign as WA’s ultimate winter escape—for good reason. From wild coastal beauty and serene bush trails to world-class food and wine, it’s a region that knows how to do both adventure and indulgence. But come July, things turn up a notch.
From 18–27 July, Cabin Fever is back, and it’s bringing the heat to your favourite venues from Busselton to Margaret River and beyond. Think fiery food battles (yes, the Cheese Toastie Battle is back), smoky sips at Blaazing Brews, and a lineup of epic collaborations with some of the region’s best chefs, brewers, winemakers, and creatives. Expect unexpected pairings, bold flavours, and the kind of experiences you’ll talk about long after the fire’s gone out.
One thing’s certain—after your days and nights of dancing, feasting, and winter revelry, you’ll want the perfect place to wind down. Luckily, our local accommodation partners have your back. Whether it’s a luxe vineyard stay or a bushland hideaway, they’ll be the cherry on top of your Cabin Fever experience.
On the shores of Geographe Bay and only a few minutes’ walk from the Busselton Jetty, experience 5 star service in the comfort of a Hilton hotel, right by the beach. Relax at their heated outdoor pool after a night out, break a sweat in their 24-hour fitness center, or treat yourself to a nourishing breakfast at Busselton’s restaurant and cafe strip, about five minutes away.
