Thankyou so very much for your warm hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our three day stay here in Margaret River. The house was so comfortable and relaxing it felt better than home. We slept so well in the king size bed and go back to Perth feeling refreshed. God bless.

We came to Margaret River for forests, food and wine. From Cape to Cape and lighthouse we’ve had a lovely time. The cotton sheets, the bathroom treats, the range of gourmet teas, the well-appointed kitchen were a delight to see. So thankyou hosts, you’ve much to boast, we’ll tell our friends and kin, to come and stay at Margaret River Macs for a fabbo time therein.

It is with sadness that we close the door and return to our humdrum existence, after bathing in the love and warmth of Margaret River Macs. The peaceful beauty here prevailed. With fondness and wonder we returned home every day to be greeted by the warmth and beauty of the house. Thanks you so much.

We are visiting WA for the first time. We are spending a week in Margaret River, on our honeymoon. It has been the most relaxing, welcoming, comforting experience staying here at Margaret River Macs. The large, comfortable beds made for the best nights sleep I have had in years. We have cherished every minute of our time spent here and would love to make it an annual destination.
Regards

Visiting Australia from England. This is our first time in Margaret River. We have enjoyed the area taking in the wineries etc. On the “Bush Tucker” tour, forest walks, stunning coastal scenery and Kangaroo spotting too! The house is very homely, well equipped and is a great place to stay. The log fires in the evening made the stay very cosy. We would certainly recommend to others that they stay here. We would also recommend Tassell Park Wines, their wines definitely had the edge. I am sure given the opportunity we will all be back

Words are inadequate to describe the warmth of the hospitality awaiting us at Margaret River Macs. From the moment we turned the key upon our arrival, till the moment we reluctantly had to leave, we felt very comfortable and at home. We have stayed at a variety of excellent accommodations throughout the world, but the provision here of all the little extras addressing our every need made us feel special. We found it difficult to drag ourselves away from relaxing in the garden to visit the lovely surrounding area. Margaret River Macs is so well located. Alas, all good things must come to an end.

We loved this place. It has such a “haunting” charm. Just perfect for a Halloween party. Sorry for scaring the S$%# out of the neighbourhood kids! The manager of “Must” restaurant now has an aversion to shaking hands with the patrons.

Lynn & Patrick - Perth WA

Happy Halloween! With a “whacko” friend, Maragret River Macs has moved into sharing the “trans ocean” Halloween spirit. The house is fabulous and I am sure Gran & Gramps would be so proud of what you have done with it. Not sure why it took us so long to finally visit. It clearly feels like a home away from home. Your personal touch makes it something special.
Love

What a home from home! Wonderful beds! Plus Margaret River was a delight. Especially recommend Bush Tucker Tours. Even in the rain we had a great laugh!

You thought of everything; from a well-equipped kitchen, CD player, computer. If the four of us could ask for anything, perhaps it may be an additional washroom. Nonetheless, we are overwhelmed.Certainly a place to recommend to friends, and if the opportunity were to arise, to return.

Our first visit to Margaret River and our stay here has been wonderful. The accommodation here provides you with all you can ever expect and the little extras make it extra special. We are in Perth for a year on a work relocation, so we might well be back when our visitors from Scotland arrive. Thank you sincerely.

Beautiful home, wonderful and clean, such wonderful charm! (I must be getting old writing like that!) But saying that "as we mature" getting away to enjoy the company of great friends, family and drinking heaps of wine! This house and its location is what you want! Will be booking again for this summer! Sad to go...

A lovely place to come and stay. We particularly enjoyed consuming our Margaret River wine in front of a warming fire. The electric blankets and comfortable beds made this a positively relaxing place to stay. We would recommend the 'Bushtuckers' wine tour - fun, informative, with a range of wineries. Emily and Mark are definitely planning to return later in the year.

We love this place. For me it brings back memories of holidays @ Margaret river as a child. This house has so much charm & character, a testament to its owners. For Fleur it's a beautiful, tranquil getaway ... yes darling we will buy a house here one day!!! Lazy evening by the fire were the order of the day this trip. Cold & raining outside, warm & inviting inside. We also had a wonderful meal @ Winos - the steak was amazing! Next time we'll visit the Arc of Iris again - a must for anyone to try for dinner if this is your first time here (top of the main street on the left when travelling up Bussell Hwy). Thanks for the memories Gran & Gramps (we had a port in your honour!)

Fleur & Ryan xoxo - Fremantle WA

Comfortable, charming. We enjoyed our stay (we even kept warm!). Recommend the “Bushtuckers Wine Tour” – real fun. Great that you gave us internet. We’ll be back

WOW!!! What a magical place. My husband and I spent 3 amazing nights at Margaret River Macs and felt very privileged to be there. The house is immaculate and has so many little extras...too many to list in this short space. From the moment we turned the key in the front door, we felt totally relaxed. Taking a well deserved break from our two young children, this was a treat...especially the king size bed with crisp white linen. We spent most nights curled up in front of the log fire listening to Ella Fitzgerald and then watching a dvd! A short stroll down to the back gate and we were in the main street sipping coffee at the Dome... We will definitely be back as soon as we can. We did not want to leave. Thanks to the owners for a wonderful tranquil escape.

What a wonderful way to spend a long weekend. As soon as we walked in the house it felt like our home. Every need was satisfied on this trip and at the house. The wineries and restaurant were good but the thoroughly enjoyed our cooked breakfasts here at the house in the morning. Because of this stay we will be upgrading our mattress as well. This is definitely a better way to travel than hotels and the rest. I’m a little hesitant to tell everyone how great it is because they might book it when I want to come. Well done to everyone involved!

What an enjoyable, lovely & homely place to come to. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We didn’t even realise how close it was to the township when we got here. The bed was ultra comfy, the shower so luxurious and the little gifts so inviting! We have had such a short stay but highly recommend The Larder for take away (better than home cooking) after our 8 hr travel time to MR. We have seen the stunning beach/huge surf! And collected some sea shells. We wandered on to Mammoth Cave and a few wineries, breweries, lavender place, coffee & liquor places and are on our way to Busselton today! Jetty here we come! The beef at MUST Restaurant – is a must if you’re a meat lover! Just behind the hour on Bussell Hwy. We shared a Rib Eye Fillet last night and Grant couldn’t stop raving about the meats tenderness!Well thanks again for a great memory of Margaret River – we’ll definitely be referring friends & relatives!Thanks too for the info before we booked.

What a wonderful relaxing place! One had 4 nights here but plan to be back + stay for longer next time. The house was much more than we expected and we loved it all. Had a great day yesterday on the “Best of the Best” Wine tour, highly recommended. Thank you for opening up the much loved family home to all who are lucky enough to stay here

What can we say but “Thankyou” – great break for Geoff and I first one longer than 3 days in more than 20 years. We’ll make sure it’s not that long again. You have done a great job on the house. Great way to unwind and wander around the garden with hose in one hand and wine in the other! Left the boys for their cat nap in the P.M. and we girls went on the daily walk in and out of the main street stores. – MAN HAS THAT ALL CHANGED (must be getting old!). Keep up the good work will be back when we can sort dates

10 Apr 2009

We have stayed at hotels & serviced apartments, but they can't provide all those little things! The house has everything & more & it has been wonderful having all the comforts of home when we are 10,000 mile away from it! We are getting to the end of a three month stay in Australia & I really feel that we have been part of Margaret River for a week. Loved the shower; the internet; the garden chairs. Everything has been great! We also fell in love with the hummus dip from 'The Larder'! We will be back.Thanks for everything, including the extra night!

Allan & Ann - Clitheroe Lancashire UK
1 Apr 2009

The house is just amazingly great! We felt happy just coming back every evening to chill out by the fire place. If we have the chance, we will definitely come back here. Thank you for everything. Best regards.

Cool place – we really settled in straight away at MR Macs. If felt like home because we had everything we needed – the place is extremely well equipped. MR and surrounds is great and we will be back one day to finish off the few vineyards we did not get to. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Margaret River Macs. Great location, well equipped, comfy beds, quality linen

Graeme & Nadi – Brisbane QLD
18 Mar 2009

This is a wonderful house! The décor is so original & something I would love to copy in my own! We felt at home from the moment we opened the front door, modern amenities with flashes from the past – it has brought back several memories of my Nan’s house when I was little. Our five night get away was wonderful and the next time we manage to return you will be the first we look to for accommodation! Thank you!

Lisa & Pete – Kalgoorlie WA

We have had a beautiful week here, but it has gone so quickly…we are still discovering more things to do on our last day! From the moment we arrived we felt ‘at home’. It was just like coming back to Gran & Gramps place, but with modernisations and special holiday comforts. This little piece of Margaret River will hold a special place in our hearts and we hope to come back often. Hayley just loved the window seat in the kitchen, sinking into the cushions, and taking her parents for tours of the garden; delighting in the flags, climbing on the benches/seats under the trees and tapping on the music pole. And then there were always the macadamia nuts to collect! A 3 year old’s heaven! Byron & Tavis loved sharing a bedroom with their sister – but next time they’ll be older than 6 months and may not be so happy to be in porta cots rather than luxuriating in a king-size bed! Thanks for providing everything we could have needed from a serene environment to a picnic rug.

Donna, John, Hayley, Byron & Tavis - Geelong VIC
20 Feb 2009

We love coming here!!! Definitely feels like a home away from home. From the moment we step inside it’s like someone presses the ‘relax’ button…ah that bed is AMAZING! Such a beautiful place to unwind, potter in the garden, laze the day away, relax & just be.

Fleur & Ryan - Fremantle WA
8 Feb 2009

I’m in apricot heaven!! After hearing stories for years about Grandmother McKenzie’s wonderful jams + bountiful tree, I experienced it. We climbed the tree, collected every day, raked the fallen, buried them, then cooked our gathering. We made jam (first time ever for me) and had stewed apricots for breakfast + for dinner with ice-cream. You have done a beautiful job on your grandparents home. Congratulations!!

We have stayed in a few places on our way from Perth to Margaret River but this place far outdoes the rest. Felt at home and relaxed from the moment we walked in and all thoughts of homesickness went away. It’s nice to have everything at your fingertips and everything has been well thought out and catered for. A beautiful place and tribute to the owners, it was an honour to be a guest here. Wish we had longer but hopefully there will be a next time.

Michelle & Matthew - Adelaide SA

Thank you for making my recent stay in Margaret River such a memorable, exiting & wonderful experience. It allowed me to really relax with good foods, good friends and beautiful; warm (sometimes overcast) weather. The house is beautifully laid out and everything we could possibly need was available, or right on our doorstep. There is no doubt, that because of its unique charm, that my friends and I will be returning in the not too distant future. I can't wait to make my way here again soon. Thank you again.Our stay at the Margaret River Macs was fantastic.

We never met our hosts. They are benevolent ghosts. Unobtrusive and leaving little treats in every nook and cranny. We sang and drank wine and then curled up in the sheets and donnas of the giant beds. During the day we sat under the trees in the backyard doing crosswords. We cooked great meals had great conversations and melted into the most comfortable surroundings.

I was here in April and have returned with my friends, Willow and Pheng. You have provided for us just what we needed - a quiet, comfortable and relaxing environment where 3 old friends could catch up relax and enjoy one another’s company. It's so much more personal and friendly than a five star hotel. We have been very blessed to be here. It would greatly sadden me if you should decide to chop it up to units. I hope that this snap shot of the Australian way of life will be kept sacred. In his love.

Ann - Perth WA

What Ann said, my response is Amen. I would like to repeat what the couple from Adelaide said on 12th October - Your eye for detail and thoughtful hospitality are the keys to a truly memorable experience.

We are not frequent travellers but when we do we stay in hotels which are certainly not houses. You have not only provided a house but a beautiful home away from home. We were in awe when we first stepped into the house. As we explored the surroundings we were captivated by the trees and plants, the shrubs and the many varieties and colourful flowers that were strategically planted. The provisions and little necessities made available were more than expected. The short stay in the house has certainly created memorable moments in our lives. Unwilling to leave. We would want to be back. Thank you.

We have all enjoyed our stay. Today we have to go home & we don't want to. Dylan (our son) enjoyed the kitchen cupboards the most. Pulling out stuff we didn't even know what it was. Who needs toys! Easy to walk into town, go for a surf or just relax with a movie with the fire going.
Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at Margaret River Macs! We were kept nice and warm by the fire and there were plenty of heaters to heat the bedrooms. The kitchen was well-stocked, the bathroom immaculate and the decor throughout the house was a cosy mix of modern and vintage. Wow! I'd happily stay again.

Lovely, quirky property. Spotless and centrally located. Very convenient for access to restaurants and shops but in quiet residential street with off street parking.

We found the house and in particular its location just perfect. The bedrooms were extremely cosy which was a big plus due to the surprising cold weather that we encountered. The decor had a rustic, WWII feel about it yet it has all the modcons that anyone would need.

Maurice – HOLLAND

My sister and I stayed here at Margaret River Macs and were absolutely in love with the place. Everything was just spot on and luxurious, with huge big comfortable beds, a wonderful bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. We were unlucky with the weather, but in summer it has an awesome outside area. It also is perfectly situated near the centre of Margaret River but far enough for it to be peaceful and quiet. I have also been lucky to see its sister property in Fremantle, and that too is stylish, luxurious and beautifully finished. Thank you.

Such a wonderful way to spend our second wedding anniversary. Great atmosphere, warm & cosy fire with every detail covered. All we had to bring was milk! Excellent! Being so close to all the shops & restaurants was fantastic & made our stay even more enjoyable & relaxing. Thank you for your exquisite attention to detail, our stay was superb, just what we needed!

MRM just keeps getting better! The ‘huge beds’, lovely shower, warm cosy fire and country kitchen with the smells of pea & ham soup, as well as scones made our stay memorable. A quick dash out the back gate to the main street enabled us to browse, enjoy coffee and take in the sights of Margaret River. Thank you once again for all the thoughtful “extras” that you provided for your guests, even the kookaburras laughed on cue!
Kind regards

What a lovely house. I think it was easier to try & think what wasn’t thought of…..we can’t think of anything that you didn’t.We had a very happy stay here and we would love to come back again. Reading the comments in this book there are a lot of mentions of ‘Grandma’s house’. Well, coming from the UK, I can say that my Grandma had the same knives & forks and wardrobes. On arrival we spent the first 15 minutes saying WOW & OH MY GOD as we entered each room. Amazing, wonderful and it will be a happy memory for us both.

Thank you! An absolutely divine house! You (and family) have done an amazing job, tastefully incorporating a modern fit-out while still leaving the classic old charm. Everything we needed was here….we loved the movie and music selection and enjoyed a bottle… or two….of some wonderful local wines while sitting by the fire.We are sure to be highly recommending “Grandma’s House” to others.

Thank you for letting us stay it was truly like staying at Granma’s house with a great modern feel! Electric blankets were excellent and all the gourmet cooking utensils were great too, loved the music & DVD selection and the huge shower. Beats staying in a hotel any day. Will be back in the future

Shaan & Luke – Perth WA

Staying at Margaret River Macs has been like staying at Grandma’s house! Everything has its place, and there is nothing you could want for…we couldn’t believe how every little detail has been thought of. Even on our last morning we were discovering things and exclaiming “I can’t believe she thought of that!” If we needed any thing it was here (and good quality too). We have enjoyed our stay so much and have made the decision to buy a King Size bed. Will definitely (have already done so actually) be recommending Macs to our friends and family. Thank you so much and you’ll be hearing from us in the future.

Kyleigh & Alan – Maylands WA

We have had a magnificent week. The house is more than we expected. You have done a great job restoring it and still leaving the old charm it would have had in your grandparent’s days. The district is a wine and food lovers delight, so much to see and do. We had good use out of the fireplace, although the weather was nice during the day, the nights were a bit chilly. It is so good to have the day start with a good shower!! Here you have a great shower. We hope we can come back again one day.

Jenny & Alf – Melbourne VIC
19 Jun 2006

Thanks for letting us stay. It’s a beautiful old house with lots of “homeness”. The fireplace was a treat! It was quite chilly when we got here, but got quite nice as the evening was progressing!! We all enjoyed this immensely. I’m sure heaps of good pictures or photographs have come out of this trip!! “Tussen takk, igjen” (which is thank you so much again in Norwegian)

The old and new blend so beautifully together. The history and integrity of the home has been ‘vitally maintained’ as well as providing ‘creature comforts’ for its guests. Margaret River Macs is the perfect launching place for tourist activities in the region. Like a fine wine, Margaret River Macs has aged to perfection and ready to be enjoyed.Thank you and cheers!

By far the best accommodation in Margaret River. Still undecided as to what sealed the deal – the luxurious king sized bed or the heavenly shower! I am finding it hard to pack up and leave.
