My husband and I had a quick trip from Perth to Margaret River. We arrived by coach bus and it was about a 15 minute walk from the bus stop in town to the Studio. Silvia was easy to communicate with and she allowed us our privacy while we were there while still making sure we could get a hold of her if we needed to contact her.
The studio was spacious and modern, with huge windows that had blinds that we closed at night. The basic amenities were there, including some milk in the fridge for our morning coffee. There was a hair dryer and washing machine if we needed it. The bed was comfortable, the towels were large and soft.
A note was left for us with a wifi password, check-out instructions, and tips on local places to see and things to do. Silvia even gave a suggestion for a great app called Find the Fun Margaret River. We had all the information we needed. I just wish we had more time!
We came by bus and had about 24 hours in Margaret River. After walking to the studio and getting settled in, we walked back to town to the visitor center and then rented bicycles from Life Cycle Bikes. Robert was very helpful and gave us a map and some suggestions on where to ride with the short time we had. We rode about 6 km to Surfer’s Point to watch the sunset, then rode back in the dark. I would get bike lights the next time we go.
The next day we checked out, we rolled our suitcase behind our bike as we rode into town. The people at the visitors center held our suitcase for us as we took a self-guided bike tour of some wineries in the area. We stopped at Stella Bella, Watershed, Voyager, and Xanadu. I wish we had panniers or bigger backpacks so we could have picked up bottles of wine on our tour!
We got back in town to Margaret River with enough time to return our bikes, eat, get our bags, buy a couple of bottles of wine from the liquor store attached to IGA, buy some snacks for the bus, then head out.
Perfect whirlwind tour! We would love to come back one day and stay in Silvia’s beautiful studio again one day!
