Stayed there early April 2012 for AUD 196,- per night I read below that it lacks the "Wow" factor : this is true about the furniture which is fairly neutral. However, there has been absolutely nothing to complain about and our stay (2 couples) was great. Margaret Forest is a complex of two levels appartements ideally located in the village.... More

We booked a two room two spa apartment for an overnight stay in the Margaret River region. We found the self contained townhouse clean. Pros: Great location on the south edge of Margaret River town. Walking distance to pubs, restaurants, bakery, cafes, shops, pharmacies, Coles and Target. Stumbling distance from wine tour collection Parking right in front Great value for... More

We really appreciate your valuable review and lovely comments relating to your recent stay with us. Your summation definitely helps us to see in which areas we may be able to improve and serve our guests better in future. It was interesting to read your observation that our website doesn't state a 2.30 pm check-in time. We have always operated... More

The reception staff were very polite and extremely helpful with booking tours etc. I had read other reviews prior to our stay and a few people mentioned that they experienced noise from the highway. Neither my partner or I found this to be a problem at all! The property really is where the city meets the forest! Overall, fantastic establishment,... More

I stayed at Margarets Forest during a heatwave in March. Despite using their website to make the reservation, they had no record of my booking. Luckily I'd printed a confirmation sent to my email as proof of my booking. As it was mid-week they were able to fit me in by upgrading me to a split level apartment which was... More

We stayed at this accommodation because we wanted to be central to the shops and town itself. We weren't disappointed. Our 2 bedroom apartment came fully equipped with a kitchen, laundry etc. We have 2 young children and there was a closed staircase in the apartment, which could be a problem if you have children under 2 y o as...

We booked this accommodation unseen whilst in Busselton but it came recommended by the tourist office. On arrival, we were met by an immaculate two bedded apartment with a spa bath as well. There was a free gas barbecue on the terrace outside which was put to good use. We had free car parking nearby and although the main road... More

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your prompt review of what sounds like a wonderful stay with us. Your favourable comments are appreciated and I want you to know that we take note of your comment regarding the lack of natural light in the downstairs area of the apartment.

In terms of Location, can't go wrong as you are within 300m of the visitor centre, supermarkets, restaurants, petrol station and on the main Bussel Highway. I was a bit late in booking my room so ended up with 2-storey one bedroom spa. The upstairs was open concept and the shower/spa was integrated into the room with no separating wall.... More

We were a bit disappointed with this place. It was adequate for our two day stay but very dated, a bit shabby and in need of a refurb. There is nothing overly wrong with he place, but it does lack any wow factor and is more akin to a motel in terms of decor. It is close to the town... More

Placed at the bottom of the high street these apartments are perfect for exploring the town. We were in #107 which was set back from the road with forest views from the balcony.

Our room was two level with the bedroom upstairs and the a/c downstairs. It was very hot during our stay. The bedroom was like a sauna and the a/c was utterly useless and the ceiling fan mainly ornamental. $200+ for a room with no a/c!!. The downstairs kitchen/living area stank of cheap, fried food which made us feel sick.
