Edge of the Forest is also Edge of Margaret River so I think we were looking for something a bit more woodsy. The location is a convienant 10 minute walk to town and a brewery is about 75 meters away. Steve, our hosts, was awesome and mixed business with personal requirements perfectly. It is nice to see someone own a business but still able to put a sign on the door saying "Morning Sports with the Kids, back around 11" - it says something about the person. The room was small but cosy and the bed was extremely comfortable. There are some renovations going on so a bit of banging but that will be completed soonish. The garden you see in the picture was very nice along with a grill we cooked gorgious steaks on. No welcome gift and for being in wine country that was kinda odd but no points deducted since that is a bonus vice a requirement. I guess I was disappointed in the lack of open space and living amongst the trees. I mean - lots of trees. The setup was similar to a motel, but it was nicer than that, hard to explain. Overall, I'd give Edge of the Forest a 7.8 as I am a tough grader overall.

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.

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.

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.
