This is a great spot to stay, especially if you are planning to tour all the secret and beautiful spots of a region that Margaret River and Dunsborough tourists usually ignore. It’s not totally secluded yet it is private. We liked being able to walk two minutes to either the Tavern (where Cindy Bolst made us lovely food) or the roadhouse for a fully tasty long Macchiato and a selection of local produce. And it was only minutes to drive to Hamelin Bay, Boranup and Augusta. We loved being close to the Glenarty Road vineyard and had a beautiful afternoon there (do visit, it has a great back story and great coffee, food, friendly patting sheep who nibble the grass around you, and of course, wine.) It is also a mere 20 minutes to eat n socialize in Margaret River on a Saturday night.
Jane is a friendly host and the space is absolutely immaculate. After all the hiking we did, the deep spa bath was a hit. So too the wood fire, the fluffy towels and the soft Moroccan lamp lighting for late night unwinding. The beds are super comfy with hotel quality linens.
Karrikesh itself, as a re-purposed Church, has special memories for me of times in the 1970s when it was a place for functions and meetings for the local community, of which I was a part back in the day. It has a lot of Karridale community history within its walls that make it special, and hopefully other guests feel that sense too.
We loved our stay, thank you Jane.
