My wife and I stayed here with our 6 month old, as a base to check out the Margaret River Region. The motel is well located off the main high street in Dunsborough, close to shops & restaurants. We booked a standard room, which had adequate facilities. For $130 / night in high season, it was very reasonable for the three of us.
But there were some problems:
1) The air-con only pumped out warm air, so it was hotter in the room than outside. This made things uncomfortable with wee fella. We reported this on the second day. The staff sweetly told us it would be seen to. Alas no change for the rest of our stay.
2) The free movie system was down for the first night we were there, for which they apologised.
3) The cystern/pipes from other rooms are quite noisy.
4) Beware booking on a Friday night! The motel is right next to a bar/club (possibly called the Dunsborough/Marlborough or something like that). The music is naturally loud, but it's the bass which is really interminable. ~This wasn't fun at all. So I'd never stay again.
Finally then, very friendly staff, though nothing was changed when we asked. Also our room wasn't cleaned out on the first night.
As i paid my bill, I requested a discount on account of the air not working and was given 33% off which redeemed the stay as we were on a budget. Hope this review is helpful. Great area, wonderful vneyards most very close by car!
