Margaret River has so much to love! Beaches, forests, caves, exceptional gourmet experiences and, of course, wine, wine, wine. But how can you truly enjoy all of the above if you’re preoccupied with navigating unfamiliar roads or abstaining from wine tastings to stay behind the wheel?
Dunsborough Taxis to the rescue! Staffed by knowledgeable drivers who have lived in the region for decades, the mini-van chauffeur service allows every member of your group to relax and enjoy the ride. Their local expertise is invaluable, offering insights into hidden gems and must-visit spots that might not be on your radar. With a fleet of mini-vans, Dunsborough Taxis specialises in small-group transfers. They’re perfect for day trips, airport transfers, touring the region and especially getting around when you want to sample Margaret River’s world-famous wine.
A Day with Dunsborough Taxis
On our day out with Dunsborough Taxis we were fortunate to be chauffeured by Peter, the owner himself. His dedication to quality service was evident when we stepped into the spotless mini-van, complete with a cooler stocked with still and sparkling water. Punctual and professional, Peter made it clear that the day was ours to design. He was more than accommodating whether we wanted to stick to our pre-planned itinerary or make spontaneous detours.
One of the highlights of the day was Peter’s flexibility. Margaret River is famous for its leisurely long lunches, and Peter ensured that our extended dining experience didn’t disrupt the rest of our plans. This adaptability is a hallmark of Dunsborough Taxis, making it a favourite among visitors who value spontaneity and personalised service.

The company also offers tailored routes to maximise your time in the region. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, their drivers can suggest stops that align with your interests, from iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path treasures.

Beyond Margaret River
Dunsborough Taxis’ services extend beyond the Margaret River region, covering areas like the Blackwood Valley and Bunbury-Geographe. The company also specialises in airport transfers, catering to early-morning flights and late-night arrivals for those arriving by air. This is especially noteworthy for those arriving in the middle of the night, as we discovered car rental is not open 24/7.
