V3 ANZ Hotels - accommodation in Hamelin Bay

Bit out of town but a good stay

We absolutely loved The River Resort. Great location, easy parking, lovely ambience and an easy walk to the main street. We arrived later than expected and after the check in closure time but Reception staff had it all organised and bar staff knew exactly what to do. We ate in the main bar/restaurant and the food was excellent - in fact we ate there twice over 3 nights and that is something we never do as we always like to share our money around town. On our first night there was live music in the back bar and the performing artist was fantastic. Room was very spacious as was the bathroom and loved the window seat in our room, was a nice place to snuggle up and hang out on the cold nights. The only issue was some odd noises that seemed to be coming from a room above and we were sure there were no rooms above us - husband thought it was clanking pipes, I thought it was footsteps and furniture being moved but it stopped at a decent time in the evening. Could be staff quarters above us. Certainly no issues with any noise from the pub/restaurant but it was June/winter so not as many patrons outside. The noise didn't distract from the overall ambience and we would definitely stay here if we are in Margaret River again.

Property was great and family friendly. Just not used to open bathroom. Nearby cafe great for dinner
