Karri Forest Motel

We enjoyed our stay at this motel. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, with a lovely outlook on well-maintained gardens. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. We stayed 2 nights and loved our time in Pemberton.

Kari Forest Motel was some blocks up the hill from the highway and was a pleasant place to stay overnight in Pemberton. It was an older style motel, probably had seen busier and better times but it was clean and comfortable and all that was needed.

Impromptu stop at this charming motel, tranquil location, very clean and comfortable with some bonus extras like a kitchenette with everything you need, nice grounds and a pool. Room had a private outdoor seating area which was lovely in the evening for dinner. Some issues acknowledged by the man on reception that concerned the WiFi but for a passing through one night stay we weren’t too concerned but wifi did work if a little slow. But on the whole a charming motel that was good value, would stay again if in the area.

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.

This was a great little spot to stop over in Pemberton but would be ideal for a longer stay. The facilities available are great and it is right opposite the forest & some great family friendly things to see & do within walking distance to the hotel. Staff were really hospitable & helpful even though we booked only a couple of hours before arriving. Room was spacious & comfortable and bonus points for having a face washer/flannel, 2 pillows each and comfy robes.

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.
