    Steve was an amazing host, friendly and full of local knowledge. Was just on the edge of town and an easy walk to town. Room was comfortable and clean

    Nothing. Best stay.

    Clean, comfortable and great location. Best 2 nights sleep for a while. Just outside of town, but easy walk to everything, even a short track through the forest to a great brew house. Had a small fridge, micro wave, kettle, all the crockery and cutlery needed. Super clean, new fixtures and fittings, lovely bathroom and shower and great outside space to relax. Parking was good, outfront or along the side of the buildings. Only 4 units so nice and quiet. Steve had lots of local knowledge for sightseeing, wine tasting, beaches and bars. Couldn't ask for anything more.

    This place is superb. Only a 10 minute walk into town. Steve, the host, is a legend. Always on hand, we spoke to him every morning about our plan for each day. Steve was brilliant with recommendations but also checking tide times, wind direction and speed (sounds random but this can affect the coastal attractions). Trust me, it’s worth staying here just to get the daily run down from Steve.

    A bit of road traffic noise, but that cant really be helped due to the location

    Great location at the start of town and next door to the pub. It had two beds in the room, which was perfect as it was a weekend away with my best friend to go and hike and then enjoy nice food/drinks in town.

    Steve was brilliant. We arrived fairly late after a drive from Perth and when our keypad didn't work, Steve met us to provide a key to use! Communication was great, there's loads of helpful bits in reception if you're there for a few days/need inspiration. Room was very clean, had amenities to do your washing up which was great. Location is spot on, 10 minutes walk into the town which makes for a quick stumble home after testing out the breweries/giniversity which are in walking distance. Sign out the front so you can easily see the turn in off the main road. Great stay, would recommend.

    There is not much to not like, but a mini stove and sink would be perfect even though the dirty dishes are washed and replaced with clean ones.

    This place is a hidden treasure. Situated in a quiet and shady area, just a walk away from main street. The beds are comfortable and the shower was great. The fridge and coffee making facilities were a great asset. Steve is the nicest bloke you'll ever meet.

    The property was great but Margaret River is busy at this time of year, so there was a bit of road noise.

    We appreciated the warm, friendly staff and the lovely forest setting at this comfortable, well-located motel on the edge of town.
