Marri Lodge was a nice surprise tucked away from the business of Margaret river...but only a 5 minute drive away.. It offers affordable accommodation... with a pleasant farm like location. Karen the owner was gracious and welcoming.. This property offers a clean, functional and pleasant stay... check out the photos on whats on offer... a definite must see...

thank you so much for staying with us, and again a big thank you for your thoughtful and kind review. I have never had a guest leave their room so immaculately clean! I thought I was in the wrong room when I went to make it up after your departure. We would love to see you again and you definately deserve an upgrade next time. Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you don't have to get into a tuxedo until Winter xx

Marri Cottages 7 Lodge is fabulous, perfect to simply kick back and relax but close enough to the hub of Margaret River township. Great for a couples getaway, families and seniors. I am a single lady, and I felt completely safe and secure. Sitting on a private porch surrounded by nice gardens, watching kangaroos hop about in the fields was just perfect. Karen the owner is marvelous, she really did go out of her way to endure everything was as I needed. I will definitely be returning and have alre

It is always better for all parties if people bring any concerns they have at the time and then it can be addressed then and there.It is our wish that all guests have a pleasant time and given that most of our reviews give us top marks for cleanliness, I do not understand your comments. We have a mobile number both in your guest guide and also at Reception. It is extremely rare that no-one would be at reception and as you have reviewed "anonymously", I cannot do anything to look into your comments.

Quite with a country feel, not far from town
We spent 1 night here, 2 adults & an infant. We were given a free upgrade as there was rooms available and they thought having a kitchen would be easier with an infant-I was very thankful of this. Overall the room was very spacious,clean & tidy. The rooms are slightly aged but have everything you need. We went for a walk around the grounds & sat outside in the afternoon, it was very peaceful. We would stay here again.

Very nice tranquil farm
Stayed in cottage No2. Was booked as a spa cottage, but had no spa. The interior outfit is outdated, but comfortable enough. Kitchen had everything for being able to cook a meal. Bathroom was adequate yet outdated. Good air conditioner, which we used on a 37 degrees day. Outside setting table and chair, plus communal bbq place. Table and chairs were not very clean. Had to clean ourself to be able to sit on. Dust inside the house and old hair in the shower accumulated under the shower curtain. Surroundings are very beautiful. Great views over the field. Lots of different birds, black cockatoos, blue wren, honey eater just to name a few. Super quiet at night. Very restful sleep. A good place to escape the crowds.
Response from John on 30 Nov 2016
I have checked all Expedia cottage bookings back to early September, and find all allocations and payments were correct. So I guess you misread your Booking Confirmation showing no spa included. We could have resolved this matter had you returned to reception. Our photos show a functional holiday cottage rather than a 2016 decor. Sorry for the dust on the outdoor furniture, we will check regularly!

a lovely setting but could do with tidy up outside. My room was clean and a comfy bed but very dated. really only had a small settee which needed new cushions on it big enough for one but sleeping facilities for 3! Magazines were old 2004 and stained. Shower was hopeless and had sprung a leak in the shower head. Bonus was waking up to kangaroos in the field outside my room.

Nice room overlooking a field full of cows
I've stayed here before and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Room was really pleasant, and the spa bath was a luxury and much appreciated to unwind. The view war lovely looking over a field and trees, and the appearance of cows was very soothing. Thought they might wake me up mooing, but that wasn't the case at all. Good value for money.

Nice location & staff,
The owners of the lodge were lovely people and we were made to feel welcome. The cottage we booked was older than expected and needed a little updating along with a good clean of the tiles, curtains, etc. the smoke alarm was hanging down with no battery in it which was a little concerning. But otherwise it was a handy location to town, drive thru coffee at the end of the street and a peaceful location for a mini break.

Pleasant comfortable room well appointed bathroom
I thought we overpaid for what we got. Did the rates go up for the Leeuwin Concert weekend? Just a room with ensuite and sliding doors to outside area. Tea/Coffee facilities and small fridge. Smokers were in room up from us and cigarette smoked wafted into our room, first thing in the morning was big bit off! It also meant that we couldn't enjoy opening our doors if the 'smokers' were outside. Possum in the roof wake up at 6am on Sunday was a bit rough. Grounds relatively neat, garden ok, doors to a dining and lounge open but as there was no compendium didn't know if it was available for use no one around to ask. Close enough to Margaret River but you need a transport to stay here. We have stayed closer to the town in better and cheaper. Hesitate about recommending because of pricing and what you get. .

Peaceful Stay
Pulling into the lodge I must be honest I wondered what I had done booking this place, it was further out from the actual town of M.R. then I thought, when we drove up the cottages and gardens looked a little bit rustic to me. HOWEVER, after meeting and talking to John the owner and then being taken to our room I was pleasantly surprised. The room was lovely just had the basics in it beautiful wooden table, gorgeous wooden wardrobe and wooden bed tables. Waking up to have your breakfast watching the Kangaroos and foxes and birds outside your door priceless. The trips we did were not that far from our lodge and John was able to recommend places to visit and we loved them all. It did remind me of the country cottages in New Zealand so that was a big plus. It is definetly not for everyone but it is definetly what we enjoyed. It is not a B & B but still a great and lovely place to stay. Loved loved loved our stay.
