Disliked: Cleanliness
We (4 adults and a 4 month old baby) stayed at RiverGem for 28 days.The location is excellent—very central and close to shops and walking trails. The kitchen is well-equipped with utensils, pots, pans, and everything needed to cook. The BBQ was also a great. While the bathrooms and kitchen were clean on arrival, the home would benefit from a more thorough deep clean. We found dust bunnies, socks, and small pieces of plastic under the beds from previous guests, and the windows, blinds, and baseboards had noticeable dust buildup. They white rug in the living room is grey due to all the dirt buildup. The washing machine is quite small—about a third the size of a standard unit—which made it difficult to keep up with laundry for four adults and a baby. Because of this, we weren’t able to wash larger items like sheets. One set of fresh sheets was provided and after that a 114 charge applies. The couch is supported with pool noodles underneath, and there is only enough outdoor furniture for four people.We did request new pillows during our stay, and while this was eventually addressed, it took about two weeks.

River Gem is a Gem!

We were 3 couples and we all had good spaced rooms. Clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Location is perfect in a backstreet from the main road and we could walk everywhere to restaurants and shops. We all agreed we would stay there again when we revisit Margret River next time.

Comfortable getaway

The house is very clean, well appointed, is exactly like the photos online and the location is within walking distance of the main street. However the night before our check out, I was taken aback that the Property Manager Bec requested that we take out the rubbish to the bins outside. I thought this is why a cleaning fee is charged. I’ve never had this request with other properties I’ve stayed at in recent months. I don’t know if this is a new thing or it’s just this property in particular.

Spacious home in town

The home is located right at the edge of town and close to everything, the Margaret River, walks, cycling paths and all restaurants and shops. The comms with Bec was easy and timely and she was helpful in answering my questions. The home is spacious and was super clean and has everything you need but we found the outdoor area could be done a bit nicer in our opinion. Unfortunately there is quite a bit of building going around the neighbourhood so it was a bit noisy in the mornings. The main bedroom bed was also a bit squeaky but I let Bec know and hopefully this will be fixed for the text holidayers.

Great Location

Great location just a short walk into town. The house was lovely and clean. It was really nice to have a warm and cosy house to come back to after a day out checking out the sights of Margaret River. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Nice place, could do with some more insulation

Large comfortable house. One bed and bathroom are separated from the other bath and bedrooms so there is privacy. The only real complaint was the lack of insulation in the building, as it was hard to heat properly (it was winter) without burning lots of electricity. Chairs around the tables are also really tired and uncomfortable. Not major issues, but would improve the property if fixed.
