Such a great place to stay
We’ve stayed in numerous hotels/motels in and around Margaret River over the last 15 years, and this motel is the friendliest we’ve ever experienced. Steve was great to deal with and chat to, and the accommodation was good. We’ll definitely be back.

Clean property, as described. Comfortable and close to caves in the area. I was disappointed to not have the expertise of the owner as many had mentioned in reviews that he was helpful, but he was out of town while I was there. Fridge was handy and we brought our own coffeemaker and frother from home.

Steve is a great host. He was quick to share lots of information and answered all our questions as first-timers to beautiful Margaret River country. The rooms and grounds are first-rate. Downtown shopping and restaurants are a short walk, but Edge of the Forest is really in the edge of the forest. We loved our stay and hope to return.

Very nice spot in Margaret River. Trees behind and a short walk to the Brewhouse. Steve is very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. We’d recommend Marg’s Bakery down the road (short drive but a bit of a walk) for breakfast.

We love Margaret River and being able to walk into town for dining is fantastic, but the motel is far enough out of town to chill out in the native bush that surrounds the property. If you’re unsure of where to eat then ask the owner, he’s been in the area for sometime (Local) and has his finger on the pulse, but remember to book a table or you could be disappointed.

Such a peaceful and confortable stay at Edge of the Forrest motel. We only stayed 2 nights but they were 2 of the most comfortable and peaceful nights we've had on any overnight stays. The king bed is heavenly and Steve keeps the room temperature perfect so that you don't freeze even in winter. The bed also has heating but I never had to use it.
The forrest surroundings are lush and serene and the brewery is just a quick walk down the back trail by the forrest. The town centre and everything you'd want to see is within 20 minutes walk from the motel so transport was not a problem. Steve's dog Clover is gorgeous too and loves pats. Would highly recommend staying here if you want a quiet, comfy place that isn't far from all the fun.
