“The resort strikes me as a balanced option in Margaret River, particularly for families wanting a base close to town. I see real value in the variety of accommodations-from practical motel rooms to more indulgent spa suites-and the onsite pub could be a welcome convenience. Add to that the seasonal pool and tennis courts, and it paints a picture of a straightforward, unpretentious stay.”

I must say, I faced some issues. The room looked rather worn. I saw no electrical outlets near the bed, quite inconvenient. the air conditioning unit only cooled the living area, leaving the bedroom uncomfortably warm. A thorough refurbishment is needed ASAP!!!
