Beautiful place, friendly staff
Pros:

We were upgraded to a larger room at the end of the property which was very quiet and had a lovely bush view with an outdoor shower. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast options were good and the staff were welcoming. We would definitely come back!

A lovely location
Pros:

A great location for exploring the Margaret River region. A lovely woodland setting with great accommodation. A nice lounge area to snuggle up in the evening and friendly staff. Very close to Dunsborough which is full of grocery stores and great restaurants.

Cons:

Breakfast is good and service great but the selection and menu is small so might get a bit repetitive after a couple of days.

Beautiful retreat with a very relaxed vibes and country feels would stay again
Pros:

The whole ambience of the property is just amazing. Staff are all extremely welcoming and friendly. Beds are very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was lovely and generous. Loved the lounge area of an evening.

Cons:

Grout in the shower needs re-doing was a beautiful bedroom but the bathroom let it down. Breakfast is 8-10 and check out is 10 it would be better if check out was 10.30am like most accommodations.
