So we had spent some quality time touring the region during the day but then spent a leisurely afternoon enjoying Smith’s Beach Resort’s facilities (the movie channel may have been involved). After all this chillaxing we decided to extend this enjoyment into the evening with a visit to the new addition to the Lamont’s chain…. […]

So we’d enjoyed olive oil at Olio Bello, then tapas at Morries, wine at Must, chocolate at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, tasty sauces and jams at Providore and our final stop was at Wills Domain for a cheese platter and to partake in some of their wine.   Located in the world famous Margaret […]

Now the next two stops of our make your own foodie adventure – South West style – were two of the most popular on the trail. We’d actually heard from our Top Drop Tour tour guide that a sign of how busy the region was by how many cars were in the parking lot at […]

So after all of the olive oil sampling both GG and I were a little peckish and I’d heard about a popular eatery in Margaret River called Morries. Now I knew it was in Margaret River but hadn’t actually thought to memorise the address. I was hopeful it was along the main drag in Margs, […]

After such a huge day on the Saturday, GG and I decided that for our second full day down south, we would take ourselves on a ‘make your own foodie adventure’ and head towards Margaret River for some lunch. After studying the map, the first place I had my eye on visiting was Olio Bello. Olio Bello Extra Virgin […]

Now this news is unlikely to shock many but GG and I don’t mind the occasional glass of wine. And given we were spending quality time in a premium WA regiong we thought it best to book in a tour so that we could enjoy the experience of numerous different tastings together. So having put it […]

So after a relaxing afternoon chillaxing in our home away from home, a lovely one bedroom apartment at Smith’s Beach Resort, evening fell and it was time to venture out for what was to be the official meal to celebrate GG’s birthday. Granted we were doing so on the Friday and his birthday was actually […]

GG can be a tough fellow to buy a birthday present for, so this year I decided instead of finding a ‘thing’ to buy for him, it would be nice to whisk him away. So way back in December I had seen this special rate for accommodation at Smith’s Beach Resort, which just looked lovely, […]

It was not overly surprising to venture into town last Thursday afternoon and discover ample crowds at many a popular watering hole. I was meeting up with my best friend, Mrs M, and we initially had the crazy idea of trying to get a seat at Jamie’s Italian on its opening day. On hearing rumours […]

Given that the first Sunday of April is fast approaching I wanted to let folks know about a wonderful event that Lamonts Wine Store in Cottesloe is holding…. and I’d almost expect that at this late stage that the April one could be sold out. On the first Sunday of each month Lamonts hold their […]
