Property was good, parking fabulous and location to beach excellent. Only a short drive to Margaret River. The only downfalls was the terrible internet service and the shower. Absolutely no water pressure and shower head was very awkwardly placed at the end of the bath. Not great for tall people, our son couldnt fit under it. Overall not bad.

The accommodation was exactly how it was presented by Hotels.com. We had a one bedroom with spar. no veranda but a double window/door with an ocean view. We were allocated a first floor apartment, so those who need ground level might need to check. Its a large complex with a tavern, pool, Yoga and a couple of shops. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Love the location and the beautiful beach walks and activities. Staff are super friendly and the breakfast down at White Elephant is outstanding. Only our third stay here over 20 years, as unfortunately we live in Sydney. Property hadn’t changed much over that time, but Margs and the wineries and all the breweries have. We had another great holiday.

We had a beautiful 2 Bedroom apt with a sea view. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils etc we needed so we could have breakfasts and snacks (we didn't cook but could have if we wanted). The onsite bar and restaurant was great and it was located in walking distance to the beach. The views from the room were unbeatable. It is located a little out of the main town so you definitely need a car but onsite parking was easy. I would definitely recommend Margaret's for an extend stay especially if you are a family or need a bit more room.

Expected a better and modern property for the money spent on this. For a property located away from town, that is outdated and has no beach view from balcony we feel it was a very pricey stay. For same or less there are better properties around that are value for money. We were very disappointed with the view. Did not like the fact that bathrooms had seperate knobs for hot and cold water instead of mixer. Our kids kept getting frustrated trying to adjust them. Also every time a tap or shower was opened we could hear the water hammering on top/bottom floor. Having dryer/washing machine in open (instead of enclosed cupboard) meant too much noise in living room where one would be sitting. Not a lot of thought has gone into this holiday home. Its a property for stay but not for a relaxing fun time for our family. Will I be staying or recommending it - probably not. Wish we had seen more photos of the property - as in rooms/bathroom and the outdoor sitting areas that need some much needed TLC. Outdoor area at ground floor was not clean - we didn't even feel like stepping out. The ground floor rooms feel very outdated with no feel of a holiday home and no decor. The room at the far end on ground floor did not even have a wardrobe which was inconvenient for our parents. Overall a disappointing stay for us.

Adequate
The best I can say is that this resort was clean, comfortable and quiet. As a 'resort' I'd call it adequate rather than idyllic, and certainly not in a luxury category. For UK travellers I'd liken it to a 'Butlin's-lite'. An annoyance, however, which overshadowed our entire stay, was their overly eager accounting policy which tried to charge my credit card with which that I made the reservation - at 7 in the morning before I arrived at 3pm that afternoon - but without the CVV code the charge was denied, the attempt was considered suspect by my bank and my card was then blocked from my use for several days while I tried to sort it out on multiple long distance calls. (Try arriving on holiday half way around the world with a suddenly blocked credit card!). Very inconvenient, time-consuming, unnecessary and unapologetic. Never had any hotel anywhere in the world try to pull that. Bet, hey-ho,their business practice is their decision just as it is my right to report the fact of the event here for the awareness of others, and declare that as being sharp practice.

Location is superb and within easy walking distance of beaches where one can swim. One of the beaches is child-friendly as it is a sheltered and clean cove.
