Such a beautiful place! 😍 The cave was amazing, especially the underground and all the rock formations. Our tour guide was really friendly and explained everything well. There are quite a lot of stairs, but definitely worth it once you get inside. Such a cool experience and definitely worth visiting if you're in Margaret River! ❤️

Wow! Incredible! Such an amazing find. Matilda's tour was just fantastic - she was fun, great with the kids and adults alike and very informative about the history and findings and science behind the cave. Felt very safe up and down the stairs and have some incredible photographs. A must do in WA!

We booked a last minute tour of Lake Cave not really knowing what to expect. The tour guide was really cheerful and very informative. She obviously needed to cater for children and adults alike and soon changed her approach when we were an only adult group which we thought to be a smart move. There are many caves to view along this stretch of Australia but I think we stumbled across one that was quite unique. Brilliant find.
