I didn't stay at this place, rather, visited the restaurant for lunch and wine. Wonderful foods , set menu for Thursday to Sunday, alacarte other days. Wine matching available. The 2024 Chardonnay was excellent, but up there per bottle. Rosè was beautiful and the Cab Sav was very nice. Worth the run in for a tasting and enjoy the lovely simple site and beautiful wines.

Stayed with family in a chalet. I had my caravan beside the chalet. Good for us 6 adults but would be better if toilet wasnt in the bathroom. Bit difficult getting dressed & showered for a wedding.

First visit here but definitely won’t be the last! Super kid-friendly with the games and little corner to entertain the little hubs while the parents shop or do wine and nougat pairing (yes, BOTH!).
Awesome experience and definitely one of the key highlights of my trip to WA. Thank you for the fantastic memories.

A delicious lunch overlooking the lake. The midweek main meal and wine for $35 was terrific. The chicken curry was YUM and the wines were the best we had in Margaret River. So relaxing, lovely staff, beautiful venue , food and wine. Perfection all round.

We had the loveliest lunch at Bettenays last Friday. Best meal in ages! Such amazing food, beautiful wine and nougat to take home. Our 11yo son (who avoids his greens) agreed to taste the zucchini on his plate and liked it so much, he ate the rest!! You don’t get a better compliment than that! 😁 Will definitely go back when next in Cowaramup.

If you are booking the Honeymoon Suite, please be aware that the apartment is located on top of the "restaurant" (or area where people are served food and drinks), and the kitchen. This is not noted on their website or on Booking.com, where we booked this accommodation. We did not feel there was really any privacy or felt comfortable to wait hours until all the customers had left. When this was raised with the Owner, there was no understanding or empathy, and we were angrily told that we "had privacy from 5pm to 10am", which is absurd - not ideal for any couple wanting privacy. Yes, we admit we were very angry at this as we travelled 3.5 hours from Perth to only have to turn around and go straight back home and lost over hundreds of dollars in this booking. We are not saying that this is a deliberate thing they have done, it's just omitted from their website or on Booking.com, because if we had known this information, we definitely would not have booked. This is a lovely location, it's just a real shame that the Owner behaved in such an uncaring and combative manner. Very disappointing unfortunately and not the way we wanted to start our 28-year wedding anniversary.

The location was central to everything we wanted to do and see in the Margaret River area.
The chalet itself was very private even though the cellar door and restaurant were a minutes stroll away. The fireplace was a warm and welcoming bonus and we were provided with everything we needed for our 3 day stay.
The food and wine at the restaurant is highly recommended, as is the nougat.

It's a beautiful place. The have a wide variety of nougat flavors. They had a buy 4 free 1 and buy 8 free 2 promotion.
One downside for me was that the credit card payment. I was charge in my card's local currency instead of AUD which meant my purchase was about $12 AUD more expensive after conversion. The currency conversion follows bank exchange rates which was not as good as my card's rate.

Myself and my large group of family just visited this winery. Our experience was not great.
We were chatting between eachother and were told “I will wait until everyone is ready” and the host was banging the bottle of wine on the table insinuating for us to be quiet. She then proceeded to say “guess my profession prior to this” we all guessed teacher as she was still acting like a teacher to adults who paid for a wine tour. A few of my family members who enjoyed the nougat liqueur asked for another sip as they were prepared to buy a few bottles of this and some wine; they were told no and not in a polite way. This ruined the mood and we all decided to leave immediately as her behaviour throughout this wine tasting was horrible. So disappointed as we have been here prior and had a lovely experience and bought numerous bottles of wine. We also had to stop her from proceeding with the wine tasting as we were waiting for 2 more people, she continued to speak and was annoyed that we were talking whilst she was. Overall a bad experience unfortunately.

We went for the wine tasting with nougat pairings. The wine was delicious and paired excellently with the nougat, plus it was $25 which we found very reasonable considering the setting, quality of the wine and service.
Staff were very welcoming and dishes arrived in good time.
Would highly recommend if you're in the area!

Stayed for 5 days over Christmas period, awesome secluded 3 bed cottage amongst the trees. Easy walk to lake and wine tastings, very relaxing with tables around the lake for sunsets. Kids loved the rabbits. Kookaburras and kangaroos and vines. Rustic cottage is fitted out nicely, BBQ, comfy seating for morning coffee on the veranda

Very disappointed in the food service.
We ordered the platter however it took an extremely long time to be served to our table but disappointment hit when the cheese was extremely hard.
The bread was delicious but nowhere near enough to fit the platter size. Small amount of crackers, 2 strawberries cut up and a small amount of sliced pear.
We asked the staff for extra bread however they never brought it out.
Although, the location is beautiful and the glass of wine we ordered was delicious.

My parents and I had a Devonshire tea set each. Served beautifully and scones were light and tea was amazing ( tea leaves not tea bags)
The lady that served us went out of her way.
The restaurant has beautiful views overlooking a lake and some forests and pasture land nearby.
We went in the morning and at a quiet time of the year and was rewarded by having the whole place to ourselves.
Definitely recommend a visit and almost forgot… the nougats were also delicious. Not too sweet and sticky and hard.

18km outside the town of Margaret River, is the beautiful vineyard of Bettenays. They make and sell the most divine nougat. I really couldn’t help myself when I read the sign, buy 4 and get the fifth bar free. My sister and I made the most of the buy 8 and get two free plus a carry bag. Friendly staff who invited us to try some samples. Definitely a highlight of my trip to WA.

Been here for the second time and impressed both times by the friendly happy polite staff and perhaps the owner serving us. It's dog friendly as well and our fur baby was given lots of love and attention which she loves. Our meals were well prepared and wine was delicious plus a honey nougat slushy. The man-made lake level was down significantly because off our dry summer but will soon refresh with the winter rains 🌧 definitely recommend and worth a look.

My partner and I purchased some nougat from the shop at this location. During the purchase the sales person asked if we where from perth we said yes we where and we just got down, he then proceeded to say that he “hopes we where sleeping at some accomodation and not inside of our car…”
We both looked at each other in shock, and in true disbelief of what he just said and meant behind what he said.
I looked at him and said what do you mean by that? He said nothing and just laughed, as did his coworker behind the counter…
I did not find this funny at all, this was unwelcoming, rude, disrespectful, disgusting customer service, unbecoming of anyone representing a business and the south west region we have loved visiting for so many years and have never been treated like this before…
We left feeling so disrespected, hollow and poorly treated. My partner and I wear good quality clothing, work hard for what we have, and to enjoy holidays and trips away such as this one only to be treated like we did by this worker at this venue was very disappointing and ruined part of our experience on this trip.
I will never go back to this location, and we will be sharing our experience with all of our friends and family to be warned about what to expect when coming to this location.
I hope this person sees this review, knows exactly when he did this and takes a small moment to think about the impact what he said had on us during our visit. It was not necessary, it was cruel and I truly hope he thinks twice before saying it to another person who visits and negatively impacts there experience, the business he works at and the image of the South West region that gets held in such high regard.

James lightened our day the second we step through the door and presented a comedic tasting that compares to no other. Only disappointment is that James never met us at the beach after to continue the bromance. I guess we will have to go back again now. Well played

What a massive disappointment.
The location was incredible the views were amazing……hugely let down by how unclean the chalet was. The shower was dirty, the whole place was dusty, full of cobwebs, spiders and bugs everywhere.
I live around the bush so I understand there are spider and bugs that come with that. But this was on a level I have never seen in any accommodation I’ve paid for or any house for that matter.
There were spiders EVERYWHERE, several in every single every room of the house. I found 8 spider egg sacks in the kitchen, a red-back in my husband's shoe just after half a day of being there (shoes were inside). We had our two very young children with us which was my main concern. I called the after hours number to let the owner know my concerns and he was not at all well receiving of my concerns or the feedback. Quite appalling really.

Out of all the wineries and other businesses we visited in Margaret River, I have to say that we were very disappointed whilst it's in a nice location, the feeling we got was not good. There was no friendly greeting from any of the staff.
In fact, we were totally ignored. Maybe it was because there was a group on a bush tucker tour in one corner and another group outside setting up shelters, and staff were too busy to even acknowledge a couple of walk-ins.
So, despite walking around to see if we could get service and getting none, we left.

This is a truly lovely place to visit if you're visiting the region. Over 30 different types of French-style soft nougat, with some super interesting flavours:
Rosewater & Pistachio
Chai Latte and Vanilla Almond
Their liquors are amazing and I hear they're soon to release a new chocolate hazelnut liquor!!
Personally, the wines were a bit too heavy for my liking, but still a lovely place to stop for lunch.
Very friendly staff!

Highly recommend this place and their nougats are delicious with the soft chewy texture.

Michelle made us feel very comfortable & ‘at home’ at Bettenay’s. Although it was a quickish visit, it ended up being one of our most favourite & memorable visits whilst on our Honeymoon. We thought we were going for a couple bars of nougat, we left with a couple bars of nougat, 3 bottles of wine & a truly memorable experience.
We highly recommend Michelle at Bettenay’s.

A choice selection of finely made soft nougat. You gotta be aware they only sell large blocks of soft nougat, gourmet style.
Not able to find small packs or small gift servings. Felt a bit limited. Bit small scale to be touted as a nougat company.
