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.

On the Edge
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.

Hi Nick. Thanks for your stay. I'm looking at glass replacement right now which should alleviate road noise ($2000 per window) and the possum makes a roof run every now and then. Pros and cons of Forest surrounds!

The secret is out.
Nestled on the edge of the forest as you come into Margaret River this small motel with only 6 rooms is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The rooms are spacious and housekeeping maintain a high standard of cleanliness. Steve the owner is very friendly and has a great knowledge of the area. There is a laneways down the back and a short one hundred metre walk to the Margaret River Brewing Company who have an alcoholic ginger beer to die for. A short drive down the Main Street gives you ample options for dining out. Pubs, Chinese and Thai food to mention a few.

Thanks Harry. Although I'm new to the Edge of the Forest Motel, I'm a long time resident of Margaret River. It's a tribute to the previous owners of the business, that they have established a wonderful haven, here at the entrance to town. Hearing from guest's like yourself, confirms that it is more than a little secret, it's a wonderful place to stay.
