About this property

The River House - In the heart of Margaret River - idyllic getaway for families

Set on a large established parcel of land, in a quiet corner of the town and literally metres from the Margaret River foreshore, The River House is brand new to the holiday market and is an idyllic getaway for families.

This contemporary, double storey home is immaculately presented by the owners with 5 bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms, both with separate showers and one with a large bath.

GROUND FLOOR
Bedroom 1: Master bedroom, king size bed and ensuite, sleeping 2
Bedroom 2: Queen size bed, sleeping 2
Bedroom 3: Twin king singles, sleeping 2

TOP FLOOR
Bedroom 4: Queen size bed, sleeping 2
Bedroom 5: Double size bed, sleeping 2

Whilst all bedrooms are spacious and have built in robes and crisp white linen, the master suite is fit for royalty, with king sized bed, stylish furnishings, walk in robe and en-suite. A baby cot is available for newborn guests.

The spacious central living/dining and gourmet kitchen area with high cathedral ceiling has all-new, high quality furniture, a book library and ample room for families to relax. Four doors open up onto a huge entertaining deck overlooking beautiful mature gardens flanked by tall native trees.

Upstairs behind a child safe gate, you'll find two bedrooms and an area for kids, or kids at heart to play Wii, watch movies or just chill, whilst mum and dad relax with a glass on the Juliet balcony overlooking the beautiful Riverslea Valley.

Fully appointed with brand new furnishings and equipment, you'll find everything you will ever need to enjoy a quick break or extended stay with even a kayak to take on the river.

Air-conditioning upstairs and clever summer/winter ceiling fans downstairs, this stylish home resonates with the 'down south' vibe that is pure Margs.

You really couldn't be better placed at The River House; the town centre is a 15 - 20 minute stroll or 5 minute drive, or head down to the river and walk or mountain bike the old pine plantation trail along the river and join the rails-to-trails track to the West of town. Or simply use this home-from-home as the perfect base to explore world-class food, wine and surf beaches all within a quick drive.

Lovely Homestay
We had a very comfortable stay at The River House, the amenities are great however an upstairs toilet would have been handy. Overall we had a lovely stay with our Queensland family visitors.

Lovely location, quiet near the river. House had lots of room for us all - 7 adults. Note air conditioner is only in upstairs bedrooms. Kayaks great for a paddle on the river - house had everything we needed.

Annual holiday
Communication was awesome- booking, access to property and exit of property. Nice location, close to amenities. The house lacked a few kitchen utensils such as potato peelers, large pot and tongs. Cleaning was poor, floors were not cleaned properly (underneath coaches and cupboards), kettle was black on inside (I had to clean before use) . On the whole it was a great holiday and house suited all of us.

Great spot
Came down with 4 friends and stayed 2 nights, lovely location and house had everything we needed. Pity we were out all day as we would of loved to use the gorgeous patio area and backyard more. 4 double rooms and 1 with twin beds meant we could all have our own room. Spot on

Nice house, poor managers
This house is managed by Holidays Margaret River, who in addition to full payment want an additional large bond over a month in advance, they were very quick to demand money and dismally slow to provide information. I had to chase for basic details of the house such as the address. Very poor company that tainted an otherwise pleasant house

Bathroom!!!
house is beautiful but it is a big inconvenience to have only 2 bathrooms for 10 people. One bathroom has access only from the bedroom so it can not be used by others. So in fact only a toilet can be used all the time!

Lovely getaway
Myself and three friends stayed for a week and we loved the area, so close to everything in the southwest. The house was lovely and homey and I would recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful holiday.

Tidy and a good location
The house was clean, in a great location and comfortable, the outdoor setting is great as we had 10 adults staying and it was good size. The house is nicely decorated with a good range of cooking utensils, would recommend staying here. Things to note; aircon is only upstairs so was a bit hot in the down stairs bedrooms and living area, the inside dinning table only seats 8 so was a bit tricky having dinner inside with 10 people, and a few more tea towels would be good for short stays as we didn’t do a load of washing.

Superb base to explore the Margaret River area
The house was everything 5 middle aged ladies needed as a base for touring the area! It was a little cold at night but plenty of fleecy blankets to wrap around us & put on our beds. Quiet neighbourhood which felt safe & community-minded. Excellent local trails to walk and cycle & walkable to the shops. Such a pity the high street is still under construction but looking forward to returning when it’s complete. Definitely recommend the house & Stayz & would use again.
