Western Australia - Day 4 (Pt 3): Voyager Estate

The last item on our list for the day was the beautiful Voyager Estate.  Even if you are not into wineries, this place is worth a visit just to see gorgeous Cape Dutch rose gardens.  The restaurant was renowned too, but we did not have the luxury of time to sit down for a long lunch, and our young children would probably not appreciate it.

Firstly, we explored the very well-manicured gardens.  There was no other visitor in sight, and we had the whole place to ourselves.

We had a short wine-tasting session, and decided to buy their sparkling red grape juice.  On the way out, we visited the vineyard that was just opposite the carpark.  This was probably the first time that the children saw how grapes were grown.



There were flowers at the beginning of every row.  Everything here was so well-kept and beautiful.


We returned to the Sunflowers Animal Farm for more activities (read here), before setting out yet again to have our dinner in the town of Margaret River.  It was almost 6pm, and many restaurants were closed.  Finally, we decided to dine at Settlers Tavern yet again!  

We had tried to order the freshly-shucked oysters on the previous day, but they were sold out.  This time round, we finally got to try them.  Thumbs up, again!  Price was reasonable as well.


Another thing we tried from their menu... some sort of fried seafood platter, which was good too.


Spaghetti from the kids menu - we seldom held much expectation from kids menu, but this was so good that we had to order it again for the kids.  Even hubby could not resist taking a few mouthfuls.
