    Margaret River or Jurien Bay

    Off to Perth for a few days in February, going to take a few days to go up or down the coast, will rent a car to get about.
    Just wondering which is nicer or has more things to do for 3 or 4 days Margaret River or Jurien Bay? Any one been to either or able to recommend one or the other?

    I've been to jurien bay a couple of times and found it boring. I don't really see the point of going north of Perth and only go as far as jurien bay. Although with the limited time you have you wouldn't get much further. I live about an hour from Margaret river and there is so much more to do around there with towns like busselton, dunsborough and yallingup all nearby. You would easily find enough stuff to do for 3 or 4 days there.

    There's definitely more down to see south.

    Not even a contest, there's nothing in Jurien Bay whereas Margaret River is awesome.

    Go on winery tour, get drunk slowly.
    Walk some of the cape trail, climb some big trees....etc.

    To be honest I find it really hard to get excited about going anywhere outside of Perth and that's not saying there's a lot to see in Perth. I've gone north (not as far as the Kimberleys which I will try) and south and I haven't seen anything that made me want to return except for the cape trail. For what you'd pay for a night in Margaret river you'd be better off saving your cash, work up some leave and heading abroad for an extended break.
