Karri Forest Motel

For a three star motel it’s great. The renovations have been done well. Painted white inside it’s bright and welcoming. Very comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. And very quiet. Unfortunately the tv reception is dreadful, probably something to do with the area. A good value motel.

Karri Forest Motel proved to be an excellent choice for my recent stay in Pemberton. The location couldn't be more perfect, just a stone's throw away from the town center and conveniently close to electric vehicle charging stations, which was a huge plus for me. The on-site restaurant exceeded my expectations with its delicious menu and friendly service. It was a great option for a relaxed meal after a day of exploring the area. The motel itself is set on beautiful grounds, surrounded by lush greenery, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. What I appreciated most was the convenient access to all the activities Pemberton has to offer. The motel is centrally located, making it easy to explore the nearby forests, wineries, and other attractions. Overall, I highly recommend Karri Forest Motel for anyone seeking a comfortable and convenient stay in Pemberton. Whether you're an electric vehicle owner or simply looking for a charming and well-located place to rest your head, this motel ticks all the boxes.

Mixed feelings about this place. When booking, called a few times and spoke to a very friendly accommodating man. When we arrived to check in at 2.15pm however (15 mins after check-in time), the reception was locked, no one was answering the phone and we wandered around for about 20 minutes trying to find someone who worked there. No apologies or warm welcome when we got checked in. When we finally got into the family room, it was nice enough. A bit old and the bathroom could use a refresh, but everything worked as it should. My biggest grievance was that there was a skylight in the bedroom!!! Not very condusive for a toddler's day sleep, or for trying to sleep past dawn. The pool was very clean, despite being quite dated. The "playground" had nails sticking out of the floorboards which was a bit stressful, an accident waiting to happen! The breakfast was a highlight. $10 for a continental breakfast is great value and the dining room is just beautiful - gorgeous garden views out of all the windows and would be very cosy in winter with a log fire going.

Very late booking at the KFM, and I am so glad I stayed there. Have stayed at a couple of places in Pemberton over the years and will definitely be coming back to this one. I had a queen room with balcony and called the motel directly for a rate. Got to say this is the cleanest and most comfortable motel I’ve ever stayed in. Despite the age of the property it has been given a great makeover. Room was well appointed and really pristine. Great linen, comfortable bed, nice outlook and friendly staff. Thanks so much, I wish I could have stayed longer. Perfect spot if you’re on the Mundibiddi or Bibb Track. Brilliant restaurant.

I booked five suites for numerous people. Reception were very friendly and helpful on the phone. The motel had a great homely feeling that we liked, especially the verandah that linked the rooms. The rooms had mostly all of the amenities that we needed and comfortable beds. It is located in the middle of Pemberton town which is handy. It was value for money (approx $148 per room for 2 or 3). It was quiet. Some guests said they felt a bit cold and one room had less blankets than the others so they turned the air con on for heat. Breakfast wasn't on offer the morning we were there as they said they didn't have the staff. It was a Sunday morning of a long weekend. A few days before our trip we were told they had a new Japanese restaurant on site but we didn't know and had already booked another restaurant in town. One of the bedrooms had a skylight (and no way to cover it) and the sun came in very early which they didn't like. We liked this motel and would return.

We stayed one night here. Accommodation was fine. Wifi and tv was a bit hit n miss. Bed was not particularly comfortable I think it had a topper on it or similar and it had no edges so sunk around the sides. Room was spacious and looked out onto a nice balcony unfortunately there were a couple of families playing football right outside our room so felt we had to close the curtains while we were inside. Lovely surroundings and motel was about to open a Japanese restaurant which could be good. Great town really neat and tidy with active community. Lots to do walking biking touring. And great restaurants nearby. Enjoyable stay
