I had the same experience as the other review writers, a warm welcome, great suggestions on what to do, lovely breakfast. Rooms were perfect, can't think of anything else we would have wanted. Great tea selection! Good location and Hywel and Jeannie are wonderful hosts. If you are 4-6 friends/ family on holiday in the Margaret river, this would be... More

We had such a warm welcome from Jeannie and Hywel. The room was comfortable with a decent sized shower and a nice sitting area with fridge and foxtel tv. It was in a very quiet location with the dawn chorus the only noise to be heard. The food as previously mentioned was memorable in the portion size, certainly didn't need... More

Best breakfast I've had in a hotel... made to order with anything you want. The hosts are lovely and a great resource for local tourist information. The rooms are large with all services provided. A++

We had 3 nights staying with Hywel and Jeannie and would endorse what everyone else has said. What a delightful couple who have the gift of making a stay in their home so memorable. The location of their house is quiet and perfect-an easy 15 minute walk or a short drive into town. The rooms are perfectly thought through, the... More

Went to visit Margaret River for 3 days for some surfing and sailing and saw this place online which was very near to surfers' point. Hywel and Jeannie greeted us when we arrived and the place was really nice. The room with an ensuite was very clean and there is a nice living area to sit and to relax. Breakfast... More

This B and B is absolutely fabulous a last minute choice nothing prebooked, went to local information centre and they found it for us. Although you do need a map of how to get there it was just about a mile outside Margaret river town, no need to worry the welcome when we arrived couldn't have been better, Howie and... More

This feels like a surplus review given all the previous comments. However I am pleased to add to the general praise expressed. Everything was great - especially the welcome and breakfast - and we enjoyed the chat and laughs. We can also recommend Howie as a representative of the local tourist board. The list of things he gave us to... More

The B&B is very comfortable and the hosts very welcoming and hospitable. The bottle of wine and cheese platter on arrival was a very welcome little touch. The breakfasts were sumptuous and one couldn't ask for better. There was one other couple staying at the same time as us and we had no problem with noise as one other reviewer... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely remarks. On the subject of the floor being slippery in the shower we provide rubber mats with suctions so you do not feel unsafe, you obviously did not use it. As for the water pressure, yes we have he worst pressure in MR and have complained to the waterboard to no effect. Kind... More

This is a comfortable B&B and very pleasant hosts full of information and hospitality spirit to look after you. We enjoyed a number of nights and the challenge comes when ALL rooms are occupied (3 in total) the noise between each is annoying and difficult. Breakfast is basic and could be improved with some nice touches eg fresh Crossiant and... More
