Guest reviews
It’s a nice set up, good friendly staff and the rooms are not bad. The location is convenient and facilities are great. I would recommend to anyone.
Enjoyed a two-night stay at the motel, Room 14, to the rear, secluded from traffic noises and overlooking the gardens. Friendly and helpful at reception, room very clean, comfortable bed affording restful and refreshing sleep, abundant tea/coffee and toiletries provided. Would have no hesitation in returning if staying in Pemberton again.

It is simply the Service. The beautiful couple who are the recent managers from Portugal work extremely hard to maintain this lovely establishment. They really do a wonderful job working long days to make our stay comfortable. Thank you
Lovely motel set in beautiful peaceful gardens. We enjoyed 4 nights here. Staff were excellent and friendly, all locals. Rooms included a covered verandah with outdoor setting overlooking the pool and bbq area. The rooms are squeaky clean with crockery, microwave, dishwashing provisions, toiletries. Large wall smart TV. It’s 5 minutes walk to shops.
Great motel in Pemberton. We enjoyed our stay at this motel. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, with a lovely outlook on well-maintained gardens. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. We stayed 2 nights and loved our time in Pemberton.

Lovely stay – Stayed two nights en route from Perth to Melbourne. We loved it. We stayed in an executive room which was spacious and very clean. Microwave, kettle and toaster provided. Lovely balcony overlooking well kept gardens. Would definitely recommend. We drove to Windy Harbour which was definitely worth a visit.
