If your ideal escape includes winery lunches, farmers market finds, coastal picnics and slow scenic drives, this five-day Margaret River campervan itinerary is an easy one to love. Starting and ending in Perth, it loops through the Margaret River region at a relaxed pace, giving you time to enjoy gourmet stops without cramming too much into each day. Expect a mix of fresh local produce, cellar doors, forest drives, ocean views and easy town strolls, all with comfortable overnight stays for a campervan along the way. 

The Margaret River region is one of Western Australia’s most rewarding road trip destinations, especially for travellers who like to shape a trip around food and wine. Distances are manageable, the roads are sealed, and the variety is part of the appeal. One day you can be browsing a market or settling in for a winery lunch, and the next you can be picnicking near karri forest or watching waves roll in along the coast. With just five days, this itinerary keeps the driving sensible and the stops well spaced, so you can savour the region rather than rush through it. 

If you are dreaming of a road trip that blends dramatic coastline, rainforest walks, heritage towns, mountain lookouts and soothing spa country, the Great Southern Touring Route is hard to beat. This classic Victorian road trip loops from Melbourne through the Great Ocean Road, on to the charming fishing village of Port Fairy, up into the Grampians, across to Ballarat and Daylesford, and back to the city. For couples travelling in an Apollo campervan, it is an ideal mix of freedom and comfort, with manageable driving days and plenty of time to linger over bakery stops, beach walks, picnic lunches and sunset lookouts. Autumn and spring are especially lovely for this route, with generally mild weather that is well suited to hiking, sightseeing and relaxed outdoor dining, though temperatures can vary depending on where you are along the route.
