Lucky to have found this fab motel, quiet location, friendly and polite staff. Would recommend a visit and with in easy reach of places of interest and activities. We will definitely come back again
The property is off the main road so traffic noise was not an issue. The rooms were clean and roomy, with a balcony overlooking an attractive greened area. We had a meal in the on-site restaurant (Japanese) which was tasty and healthy. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Lovely little spot. Smokers all around us and that was very unpleasant. Our unit smelt like smoke if we left the door or window open when the two gentlemen in the next two units smoked and one of them was quite a chain smoker. Unit 1 had a bad odour on entry but that did dissipate- not sure what it was. I would stay again though cause it’s a lovely little spot with lovely gardens.
Exactly what I wanted, clean cheap as I only needed somewhere to sleep passing through. Comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness
it was ok for a overnight stay but there was to much light coming into the room hard to fall asleep.
I was not happy that they took the payment out of my account before we arrived as I booked 3 rooms for 3 couples

Thank you for informing about the lights, regarding payment, the booking you made via Expedia instructs us to take payment (verify card details) before arrival.
I had a lovely two night stay. The room was large, dark and quiet for great sleeps! Lovely hot shower, fridge and microwave made meal time easy, and Pemberton makes a good hub for exploring the area. It's about 1km from the main street. Recommend it as a relaxing base

thank you for your comments, very happy to see satisfied customers.
very nice country accommodation, a bit worn but clean and tidy. balcony with table and chairs, sat outside watching kookaburras in the trees.
well priced and quiet.
Absolutely happy with my room. Beds were so comfortable. Room was peaceful. Was slightly cold due to the season but the heater sorted that. Having a kitchen was great. The state of the room was very clean and a high standard. The only downfall was being so cold and the water in the shower didn’t want to get hot but honestly it was a safe temperature.
Good place to stay check in was quick staff friendly breakfast was good

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
When we arrived we were informed that the heating was broken and we had the smallest oil heater in the room as a replcement.We were then given another of the same size.It was pretty useless.We were not offered a discount on the room which we had prepaid and we also discoveted many rooms were in the same situation.

Very sorry, due to our rural location i just could not get that unit replaced / fixed prior to your arrival and there was no alternative accommodation anywhere on that date.
We did not sell this room knowing of the issue prior.
We were only just Ok ---it was Warm --no problem---especially on a wet & cold weekend--but facilities --Poor--No Knives & Forks -No Breakfast Bowels----no actually hot plate to cook on if & we like our own Bacon & Eggs for Breakfast when away like that--no sink --have to wash everything in the Bathroom Wash Basin ??? & its expensive for what it is we thought.
The motel is located near the Karri forest national park.
We had a large room which was clean and had all we needed.
We did walk down to the local hotel for dinner, the return was fine for us but was a reasonable uphill walk.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely little motel. The room had a balcony overlooking pretty lawns and it was very peaceful. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful.
Overnight in Pemberton. Karri Forest is a good motel. Rooms are spacious and clean. Manager gave us good suggestions about what to see and do and where to eat. Very happy!
Nice grounds. I have never encountered rather forceful statement that you will be charged if you don't wash coffee cups. Similarly threatening statement re $40 extra charge if you happen to overstay past checkout time. The house rules left unwelcoming feel. Otherwise ok.
