June marks the launch of Australia’s newest luxury walk by West Australian business, Walk into Luxury. From mid-August 2014, Walk into Luxury will offer visitors to the Margaret River wine region in Australia’s South West a chance to experience the Cape to Cape track in style.
As the name suggests, Walk into Luxury offers more than just a walk. Its all-inclusive walk packages come complete with post-walk massages, daily in-villa canapés and fine wines, exclusive dining and wine tasting experiences at renowned wineries and restaurants, and a host of other inclusions. Luxury accommodation is also included, with stays at up to 4 award winning resorts and boutique retreats. These include Small Luxury Hotels Of the World members – Smiths Beach Resort and Injidup Spa Retreat – and local favourites, Pullman Resort Bunker Bay and Losari Retreat.
Walk into Luxury has partnered with some of the best local operators to ensure each aspect of its ultra-luxe walks is top notch and 100% local. Food in particular is a stand-out. Exclusive tasting menus with matching wines at premier Margaret River wineries and restaurants – including Leeuwin Estate, Wills Domain and The Studio Bistro – are a standard inclusion. So is a private in-villa chef experience, which provides guests on the 5 and 8 day walks a chance to meet (and be served by) a top local chef. The gourmet hampers provided for guests to enjoy on and off the track are yet another opportunity to taste the first-rate produce the region is known for, with all products being 100% local.
In addition to supporting local products and businesses, Walk into Luxury has committed to donating 5% profit from every walk sold to regional charities. As explained by Walk into Luxury’s owner, Nikki King, “We are keen to be a part of the community we operate in and to do our bit to support the region. We think guests appreciate having a portion of their travel dollar going back into the area they have enjoyed as well.”
Walk into Luxury offers private walks year-round with no minimum numbers. “Our walks are designed as private experiences to be enjoyed at your own pace and without the crowds”, said Nikki. Private guides are available or guests can elect to walk self-guided with all maps, safety gear and a monitored GPS device provided by the Walk into Luxury team.
Voted as one of Australia’s top ten tracks (by National Geographic), the Cape to Cape track is a spectacular and varied section of coastline running from Cape Naturaliste (near Yallingup) past Margaret River to Cape Leeuwin in the South-west corner of Western Australia. The terrain includes pristine beaches, limestone cliffs and granite boulders, coastal bushland and the majestic Boranup Karri forest.
Walk into Luxury is now taking bookings for its 4, 5 and 8 day walks commencing weekly from mid-August. All-inclusive twin share pricing starts at AUD$1850 per person for the 4 day (Luxury Taster) walk, $2750 per person for the 5 day (Luxury Escape) walk and $4350 per person for the 8 day (Ultimate Luxury) walk.
This special introductory pricing is available for all walks booked by 30 September 2014.
