It acts as a mirror of infinite reflections that is truly magical. The cave is renowned for the ‘Suspended Table’ – a five tonne column of calcite that hangs from the ceiling just a few centimetres above the lake. The precinct features impressive retail, interpretative and cafe facilities. Located 25 kilometres south of Margaret River. « less

A must do when visiting Margaret River! The tour guide was excellent and really added value to the tour. The steps were a bit of a shocker but my thighs thanked me! The history behind the cave is fantastic, and the cave itself was stunning.. many photo opportunities. Worth the entrance fee!

After meeting our guide, Simon, halfway down the 300 steps we had a very good guided tour. Simon was very knowledgeable and no question seemed too difficult. He was also very patient with the stragglers. The cave is small but has it all including a natural table being held up by the stalactites which is apparently one of only two... More

It is a spectacular walk down through the doline to the entrance of this cave. . The cave is well decorated with the usual collection of straws, shawls as well as stalactites, stalagmites and columns. The table formation within the cave is also incredible and one of very few in the world Our guide, Simon, was excellent. His delivery was... More

This was our second destination after the Mammoth Cave. This is a lot more massive underground cave. Heaps of steps to go down and lumber up huffing and puffing. The Kids loved it and so did we adults. We had a great pitch darkness/black darkness experience inside the cave. This was a guided tour and the operator was fantastic(Mr.Simon) .Going... More

Very pretty cave. Be prepared for many steps. Not for anyone not reasonably fit. Guided tour by tour guide. Groups only. Not a big cave but worth a visit.

Visiting a cave seems to be an essential part of a tourist trip to MR. This cave is pretty special, beautiful, amazing... Pick whichever adjective you feel like. The price though... $44 for 2 people to walk down some stairs to a hole in the ground. I appreciate that the money will hopefully be reinvested in tourism, but it does... More

If you can make it down the 300 stairs then back up again, this cave is worth going into. Simon was a very informative guide who clearly knows his stuff and enjoys what he does. See one of only two table formations in the world (according to Simon). The formations are quite amazing even though it is a smallish cave.... More

I went with a group of 11 people. There were 350 steps to climb down and up again after the tour! Our young guide was a mountain of information and very thorough. I have been into a variety of caves and this one is quite small but has an amazing suspended table. Our guide turned off the lights nearby with... More

This is a small cave - only about 80m long - located about 30 minutes drive south from Margaret River. There is a very informative display on cave formation and the fauna in the cave and surrounding area at the ticket office - but this is only available to those taking the cave tour. Entrance to the cave is via... More

A great little tour of the Lake Cave. Would have like the tour to be a bit longer and have more time to look around in the cave, felt a bit rushed.
