About Lake Cave
Lake Cave is one of the most enchanting of the Margaret River region's 150+ caves, featuring an underground lake that perfectly reflects the cave formations above — creating a stunning mirrored display of stalactites, crystal-clear columns, and rare suspended calcite tables. The cave is reached via 355 steps descending into the earth, which increases the dramatic sense of discovery. Tours are guided, maintaining the pristine nature of the lake's surface.
