Aroha studio did not disappoint. Spacious and tastefully furnished with both a good size kitchen and bathroom. In a quiet cul-de-sac sac .Walking paths are just outside the back gate with the sound of water flowing can be heard from the back veranda. Communication with host was welcoming and clear for arrival and departure. Definitely would stay again.

We would stay there again as it was located in a nice area and very tranquil by the river.
The garden was beautiful and a haven for birds. The gate leading down to the river was handy. We enjoyed the wood fire.
We could not get the split system heater to work. Even with it set to 30 degrees and heat mode it was cold. After day three we opened it up and cleaned the filters which were completely blocked. We had heat coming from it after that.

We had a wonderful stay celebrating our third anniversary and enjoyed every moment! The location is beautiful, and the river and walking trail are just a few seconds’ walk away. We truly loved our experience and will definitely come back again
MichelleJun 2026
We loved this location, very private and cozy. The tranquility of the surroundings were gorgeous and we loved how close we were to local walking trails and the river. <br/>We also really liked the fireplace and kitchen amenities- hosts even provided us with a bottle of wine to share. Would recommend.
EmilyJun 2026
Loved our stay, a nice compact space close to Margaret river town although slightly too far to walk home after dinner in winter. Easy check in and parking. Great communication
HanneloreJun 2026
The property was clean, comfortable and cosy with the wood heater. Beautifully situated near the river, a pleasant walk to the bakery.

Private, quiet and perfect.

a little gem of a place
The location – nestled in the woods meant we could sit on the deck and watch parrots, doves etc play, eat and squabble plus go for lovely walks along the river and enjoy the peace. Really nicely laid out room with good facilities. And whilst it was 'near the forest' it was easy to walk into Margaret River so going to restaurants was straightforward.
hard to think about anything.

LagisMar 2026
We had a lovely six night stay in a well equipped and spacious studio that met all our expectation's. Just step out of the back and you’re in nature and an easy walk along the river into town.

Location good but a minutes out of town.
Nothing

A lovely studio in a stunning, peaceful location next to the river. The space was very clean, tidy, and thoughtfully set up, making our stay extremely comfortable. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings of Margaret River. We would happily stay there again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.<br/>The team at House Down South were very friendly and helpful :)
WendyJan 2026
The Aroha House was very clean, well maintained. The balcony had beautiful landscaping it made it very private and lead down to a gate to walking trails in the forest. I highly recommend this place for nature lovers.

I would stay here again. Beautiful spot. Very comfortable
Beautiful area. Property was very clean. Coffee was provided as well as a coffee maker.
We had so much trouble trying to open the lock box to access the keys. Eventually it sprung open!

Amazing, quiet stay, short drive away from Margaret River town centre
The location, in the middle of nature, close to hiking trails and the river. The apartment is spacious and the interior is beautiful.

Beautiful location – quiet and peaceful – easy to access and well presented.
Location was excellent – nice airy room
TV controls dodgy

Wonderful
Great location- close to walking paths and river and quick drive into town. Comfy, clean apartment with lovely garden views.
Be aware that the vendor will seek a bond before the stay. I had some issues with WiFi on site.
WayneOct 2025
One of the best properties we've ever stayed at
Idyllic location set in bush on the banks of Margaret River with abundant birdlife, with bush tracks through the reserve on the opposite side.. 15 minute walk from the township via a handy direct shortcut from back entrance into Rendall Close avoiding The Boulevard loop & additional 900m walk
.
Everything – well equiped, private, very comfortable !!
TashSep 2025
Beautiful, peaceful location, just a short walk to town. Thanks
MichaelSep 2025
Great little studio – well presented. Would visit again if in town!
JosephineSep 2025
We enjoyed our stay at the Alorah studio.<br/>It is very clean and comfortable and easy access to the walking trails.<br/>We loved the birds who visited every day. Would definitely recommend it.
StephenAug 2025
Our stay was great. Cozy wood fire, comfy bed and fantastic bush walking trails into town. The local birds were friendly as well. Highly recommend
ColleenAug 2025
Wonderful
Beautiful location and outlook. We loved going for walks along the river – so easy to access from the apartment.
Close to Margaret River town. Beautiful bottle of local wine there on arrival.
Ran out of kindling for the wood fire and it wasn't replaced.
GeorgeJul 2025
Amazing location and space with everything super tidy and meticulously thought out. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Lovely place to stay, definitely would recommend to others and stay here again myself
MirellaJul 2025
My partner and I just loved staying at Aroha. The bed was amazing and the beautiful surroundings too. So nice and close to town and very clear communication before and during our stay. Thanks
RobeeJun 2025
We loved the proximity to the river. Winter and a fire is bliss. Recommend.
The location is fantastic. Close enough to town, and right on the river and all the walking tracks. Being in the unit was like living in the bush – so quiet and private. The fire was brilliant, and one of the main reasons why we booked Aroha in the first place.
MichelleMay 2025
A fantastic little find!!
This place was absolutely amazing!!
So spacious, the bed was super comfortable, close to everything, peaceful and quiet.
The fire was so beautiful with so much of everything needed to light it and keep the place warm.
Not knowing the area, if I went there again, I wouldn’t even look around, I would just book the same accommodation again.
The only negative and it’s so small it’s probably not even worth mentioning.
I wanted to make a
Cup of tea on arrival, and there was no milk.
That was the only negative for a 5 night stay.
MichaelMay 2025
Great base to explore the region
Being in Margaret River town, this was a perfect place to use a base to explore the region.We were very comfortable here.
TonyMay 2025
Nice clean studio in great location.
Clean and spacious. Great location. Only a short walk to town.
Could do with a small cooktop for longer stays
BethApr 2025
I’m so happy we found this place! It was perfect for our needs, location was beautiful- peaceful and relaxing but within walking distance of the shops of restaurants of Margaret River (which were all fabulous!<br/>The little garden is particularly stunning with amazing wildlife to see. We loved being able to access the river from the back gate too. <br/>This place will hold particular significance for us as we got engaged on this trip! Definitely a place we plan to come back to and would recommend it to anyone. <br/>Thank you so much for a perfect stay!

Getaway for 2
This perfect little unit was just what we needed for our short getaway. Will be back!!
RozMar 2025
Beautiful house, way better than I expected, lots of personal touches/amenities. Loved the little verandah, birds were very friendly. <br/>Great couple weekend away 😊
TrishFeb 2025
Well appointed and comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay at Aroha Studio. The unit had everything we needed and the location right beside the river and walking path to town was perfect. The furnishings are stylish and comfortable. We won’t hesitate to book again.
PhilipJan 2025
Great little place with easy access out to the river and short drive to everything in town. Couple of small issues but they communicated well and did their best to resolve everything.
KyleJan 2025
We had the.most amazing time staying here. The house was very clean and tidy the bed was so comfortable but by far my favourite part was how secluded it felt. With the river right behind the house and plenty of walking trails it was so peaceful. We felt very relaxed and at home and would love to go back one day. Our hosts were great and kept us in the loop with anything we needed to know. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed and we really cant recommend it enough. So if you are looking for a little getaway with your loved one or just need to unwind this is the place for you 10/10
NellaJan 2025
A lovely airbnb with a great, unique location🤩 Would definitely recommend!
BernadetteOct 2024
What a beautiful peaceful setting. Loved sitting out on the verandah and watching the birds. The river being so close is lovely for a walk.
CameronSep 2024
A great little studio in a peaceful location! That said, it's actually quite spacious for a studio. The paths along the river directly behind are great for a walk and an easy walk into town. Best of all, the bed is one of the best I've ever slept in! Would highly recommend for a peaceful stay in Margaret River.
PeterSep 2024
Loved it and I’m sure we will stay again and we’ll tell our friends about this little gem
Fantastic place to use as a base to enjoy the 2024 art trail … comfortable, quiet and well presented. Comfortable bed and great amenities including lovely veranda with comfy chairs to listen to the river and enjoy the sounds of nature…. We’ll be back …
Caitlin B.Sep 2024
Loved our stay!
Was a very clean and tidy, cozy little house, we loved our stay here! Really appreciated the fire being set up for us for our arrival, thank you! :)

Location, view, romance
Could of had a larger kitchen, in saying that it had everything we needed. Well stocked.
GeneAug 2024
What an idyllic location nestled right on the beautiful Margaret River, which was at full flow, you can hear the soothing sound of cascading water as you sit on the back verandah interacting with the native birdlife. The wood fire was prepared ready to light on arrival as requested, a beautiful touch! The nature walk along the river was also stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
JaneAug 2024
Easy to find, well appointed and warmed on arrival. An easy walk through the trees to the township. Great location next to the river.
PaulJul 2024
Enjoyed connecting with the rare breed of parrots on the balcony. Nice spot. Great shower in the bathroom was a bonus.
AeshaJul 2024
Wonderful
The property was beautiful! We loved the surrounding scenery.
It was difficult to get a taxi into town which we did not realise, although that is not the host’s fault we were new to town and will know upon our next stay!
Lyn W.Jul 2024
A little Gem
