ABOUT & LOCATION
Where is the Margaret River Hotel located?
Located within one of the world’s great modern wine regions, Margaret River. The Hotel is situated on the main street in the heart of Margaret River town, perfect for a stroll, and central to region highlights such as bike trails, beaches, caves and wineries.
Who owns the Margaret River Hotel?
The Hotel is a treasure of the Heytesbury Wine Group, a family-owned Western Australian business that has been part of the Margaret River community since 1987.
How big is the extension?
We are restoring the heritage rooms, upon completion there will be 11 rooms in the original Hotel and the extension will provide an additional 16 rooms. In total there will be 27 elegant and uniquely designed rooms.
What style is the refurbishment?
The boutique, triple-heritage listed Margaret River Hotel first opened in 1936, it is being restored tastefully to its former glory, whilst contemporary changes for the comfort of guests and long-term preservation of the building are being undertaken. Interior design with down-to-earth Margaret River sophistication will be a strong feature.
What will become of the Corner Bar?'
The Margaret River Hotel is the original and longest standing bar and restaurant in town and will return in a distinct new form, playing homage to this heritage and the spirit of our community.
ACCOMMODATION

We offer a variety of room types, each uniquely designed to celebrate the heritage of the building whilst providing modern comfort. Detailed descriptions of each room type will be available on our website closer to opening.

When can bookings be made?
