Great location, clean room friendly staff.

The location at Smiths Beach Resort is amazing, with a beautiful beach close by. Unfortunately, our stay began with a disappointing check-in. We had specifically booked a poolside room, only to be told it was unavailable and we had been “upgraded” to a larger unit at the back of the property. More space wasn’t an upgrade when it meant losing the location we had chosen. After pressing to have our booking honoured, we were moved to a beautiful poolside room with an amazing view. It was exactly the accommodation we had hoped for, but I was disappointed that getting what we booked required jumping through hoops. The eight suites around the central pool looked lovely and had the boutique luxury feel I expected. The units along the road and towards the rear didn’t give me that impression. To my eye, the online material suggests a level of luxury that doesn’t reflect the whole property. I was also surprised by the number of families with children. Families enjoy all kinds of holidays, of course, but at times the atmosphere felt more like a family resort than the intimate boutique hotel I had pictured. That distinction would have been helpful to understand beforehand. Once settled, we appreciated the beautiful room, view and beach. The entire region from Yallingup down to Augusta is incredible. I just wish receiving what we booked had been straightforward.

not terrible but very expensive for a room full of moths (i killed 40+ over the course of my 3-night stay). had to get the cleaning staff to mop the bathroom floor because it was covered in dead moths. five or so dead flies on the landing to the stairs for a couple of days (how did the staff not notice? i was going to tell them upon checking out but the receptionist was on the phone. whatever). the noise from the bar is all-pervasive, and it stops circa 9.30pm which is kind of OK but for how much the room cost it was not a great experience. just all a bit tired really.

Property was amazing and peaceful
