We stayed at this motel in the school holidays for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts wrote the book of service, even picking us up in town with our groceries! It is located a short walk from the township itself and we enjoyed all the walks in the area, including a ten-mile one. We had the family... More

Get up early & take a walk in the forest, with the trail starting right behind the motel. There is a loop around the Margaret River. A bit more than a motel with comfortable rooms, BBQ's & nice patios.It's just a short walk into Margaret River if you don't want to cook at the motel.Previous reviewers have noted all the... More

We really appreciate your kind words.When we were looking to buy a property,the word "motel" really put us off,conjuring a not too pleasant atmosphere to live and work in,but the first time we saw this place,we fell in love and made an offer immediately.We're glad other people see the charm of the location and lay-out,and no-one could dispute that we...

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The facilities were good, including a BBQ and picnic area in the grounds. There is however no restaurant. We chose to stay here as we had a hire car. As the name suggests, the hotel is on the edge of town. A bit far to walk in to the town... More

Thank you for your comments and recommending us. We would love to have you stay again, on your next visit to Margaret River. The location just on the edge of town is perfect for guests who don't wish to be right in the centre of town. The 10 minute walk to town is not for everyone, however a vast majority... More

Beautiful location in Margaret River, very well appointed room for the price. The owners make you feel really at home and pampered. The outside garden area is really lovely and each room has it's own table and chairs overlooking the outside garden. The rooms are very clean and as I said earlier well appointed with microwave, fridge and DVD player.... More

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel really welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Edge of the Forest. The garden is a delight - the only downside for us was not being in one of the rooms overlooking it, but we shall rectify this next time we stay! We did think our room (2) would... More

This motel is located a stone throw from the Margaret River village. Our room was quiet, spacious, clean & comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights in March 2013. I would certainly recommend this motel for any discerning traveller.

From the warm welcome to the beautiful gardens we had a fantastic stay. The little porch overlooking the back garden, with bbq facilities (& all the necessary equipment supplied) & sun lounges was an ideal spot to unwind after a hard day's sightseeing & wine tasting. A short walk into town, via the road or through the bushland at the... More

Stayed here last weekend and loved it. We had Room 4 overlooking the garden and the first thing we did was sit in the sun on the terrace with a beer!

We enjoyed seeing the three of you having such a great time and you had great weather to enjoy beers on the balcony. Not everyone gets to see the rays, they are quite spectacular to watch. We love the walk back to work off our food and wine. Doing some renos in May so the rooms will be better still.. More
