Fantastic lodge with rustic overtones adding to its delightful ambiance, very spacious, comfortable and spotless. Richard, his wife and staff could not do enough for us which added to the pleasure of our stay and sorry we only had five days stay there. Been travelling along the west coast and this is by far the best place we have stayed at. The location is great with beaches, town and wonderful bush walks close by. We Strongly recommend Karriview Lodge

It was a lovely relaxed stay for a week. It was a nice touch to have one barista coffee included with breakfast in the tarriff along with the usual self service tea and coffee. This is the first as normally at other venues there is a charge. The only suggestion we have is more comfortable chairs on the balcony.

Carry on Karriview.
Richard was a wonderful host….very attentive and thoughtful. Resort is in a fabulous location surrounded by Karri and peppermint trees, just a short drive from stunning Gracefarm beach. Rooms are enormous and comfortable but it is due for a Reno…especially the bathrooms. They were spotless but showing their age. Breakfast was a highlight every day… superb fruit, breads, cereals and coffee. We would certainly return and look forward to seeing the ongoing transformation.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here of two nights. An easy drive to Margaret River township of about 10minutes. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place to head for. A charming resort set in beautiful grounds with quiet woodland roundabout and home for a ‘family’ of peacocks in all their splendour. The staff were warm and very welcoming after a long drive there. We were relieved to be offered a welcome evening meal though the restaurant was not open as such. Our cabin was very comfortable and spacious. A great shower with hot water and balcony looking out on to woodland and wider grounds. Very calming and peaceful. Breakfast was continental style, sufficient but a little on the light side I thought. Maybe some boiled eggs or cheeses could be offered also. All in all a very pleasant stay. I would certainly return.

From the minute e arrived the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We got a tour of all the different areas and then shown to our room. It was very old worldly with period furniture etc and our room was huge(we actually got a suite). Breakfast was just enough for us as we don’t have a huge breakfast, toast, yogurt, fruit cereal and tea/coffee. You could walk to Gracetown but the weather was to bad. We weren’t far from Margaret River, Gracetown, Dunsborough, Canal Rocks, Yallingup, Hamlin Bay and Augusta. Very relaxing stay and would really recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away for a quiet break. Think we will definitely be back.

Absolutes Highlight auf Westaustralien Reise
Beste Erholung und herzliche Betreibende. Die Betreibenden sind unglaublich zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Sie heißen dich willkommen und schätzen dich als Gast. Wir haben uns schon länger nicht mehr so wohl in einer Unterkunft gefühlt und können daher diese Art der Unterkunft nur wärmend empfehlen. Es fehlt an nichts und die Zufriedenheit vom Gast ist oberste Priorität. Man spürt eine Verbundenheit zur Region und der Wertschätzung zum Land. Die Region ist einzigartig und fragile. Mit dieser Art von Tourismus kann man nur richtig liegen. Wir kommen gerne wieder, auch wenn der Weg aus der Schweiz bzw. Deutschland ein wenig weiter ist. Wir übernachteten für zwei Nächte im Zimmer Arthur's Look. Das Zimmer war sehr großzügig und hell. Schöne hohe Decken, um viel natürliches Licht hereinzulassen. Nachts konnte man perfekt abdunkeln. Wir genossen die vordere Aussicht mit der Terrasse sehr und konnten entspannt lesen & die Seele baumeln lassen. Die Auswahl zum Abendessen ist regional und sehr gut ausgesucht. Alles ist von Herstellenden direkt aus der Umgebung, teilweise der Hof nebenan. Uns haben beide Abendessen sehr gut geschmeckt und wir können es sehr weiterempfehlen. Insgesamt hatten wir vier verschiedene Speisen getestet und drei unterschiedliche Desserts. Alles top! Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet und von hoher Qualität. Frisch geschnittene Früchte, griechisches Naturjogurt, Müsli, frisches Sauerteigbrot aus Margaret River, Käse & Schinken, frische Eier, Marmeladen uvm.
