Clear communication via text to guide entry, upon arrival. Spacious bedroom. Olde world charm. Beautiful views to the garden. We used the common living area, in the morning, which had comfortable decor and wonderful local art, with the artist being the host. Away from the bustle of the main tourist area, but within easy walking distance. A most enjoyable stay.

Quiet and peaceful this individual property offers a comfortable stay in lovely surroundings. Close to the town centre, with many places to eat and beautiful Geographe Bay, we would stay again and recommend to others. Just be aware that breakfast is BYO, with a toaster and coffee machine in the communal lounge and a microwave, crockery and cutlery in the bedrooms.

Lovely atmosphere and not sterile like most hotels. There was a pod machine for coffee in the common area and filtered water available which was appreciated. The Bed was supper comfortable and the spa was amazing after walking all day. Room was massive with a decent couch and a small cafe table and chairs and a private balcony.

Very pleasant stay.

Great location and we loved the quiet and the garden views. Very comfortable bed and quality furnishings. Spacious room and bathroom and access to the common areas- lounge and kitchenette. Very convenient for exploring the Margaret River region. Only thing that needs attending to is a good clean of the shower screen and runner at the bottom.

We had passed this property a few times on previous stays in that area. This time we were lucky to find it available for our Sandman50 weekend. Our room although up some stairs was perfect as we wouldn't disturb other guests as we had a 2am start and the room was huge, everything worked, my wife loved the shower and I fully appreciated the spa after my race. Would love to stay again.

Lovely Lanterns

Fantastic stay at Lanterns. Great room with outside space. Spotlessly clean. Serge met us on arrival and was a gracious host. Great location for checking out some fantastic beaches at Meelup and Bunker Bay plus sunsets at Yallingup.
