Hi Chaye,
No problem because I got the experience, my son was sick during the last trip I was at Perth really headache.
I have book the Quest Margaret River,prefer to stay in the city so easier to travel and eat. I will be visiting the Sunflower Farm but will not be staying as I scare the smell.
Now I am still dilemna on the accomodation in Busselton as not sure I want to pay more and stay at Grand Mecure or the Blue Bay Apartment which is much cheaper as is only for a night.

On your way to Perth City from MR, maybe you would like to visit Abingdon Miniature Village in Mandurah.

hi ladies,
im also going perth on early sept, i will be going with my parents and my sister.. mainly for my sis convocation. I have booked with assured waterside in melville parade. Price quite reasonable. I din expect the prices for accomodation in perth is so high now.
We will be staying one night at margaret river. I have booked with Vintages accomodation, fast response from them and near city.. My hubby and i did alot of research and alot of cottages are quite deep in the forest, look abit remote and scary.. kekeke.
Actually we are choosing between margaret river hotel and vintage, we choose the latter cos its cheaper and 250metres away from town.
chaye.. im also going next week.. when you going? We actually booked tthe car with avis sg during the natas fair, looks like theres a surcharge to get the car from airport... hmm..will ask my hb to call them to enquiry on that.
A few websites that has many info on magaret river and accomodation.

I stayed at the Quest MR before but just a deluxe room not a studio apt. Location is superb, 3 mins walk and you are in the main street of MR. It's next to a supermarket and you can easily buy stuff back for breakfast or even cook a simple meal. Room is quite big and very nice (compared to the hotel I stayed in Perth City) but of course more ex. lah !

Chaye,
For Perth City accommodation, can try Annie's House. It's a service apartment and they have a few within Perth City...http://www.iinet.net.au/~annies
You can email Annie at [email protected]. I'm staying at their Florina Apartment for my trip. AUD130 per night.
My colleague gave me a good tip in planning for the trip. He asked me to email the visitor centres. I did that and they really sent me their maps, brochures, pamphlets FOC. I am pretty impressed with their service and response. Have received these from Pemberton, Perth (WA visitor centre), Margaret River & Albany. They will gladly answer queries through email as well.

greenpink,
Thank you for your reply, thk the studio apartment is equivalent to normal deluxe room. Actually was wonder issit big enough for me, hubby and my 3 years old boy.
Chaye,
Yap Quest is quite expensive but I just need a king size bed cos my boy will sleep with me so no need 1 room or 2 room apartment so they quote me the Studio Apartment price at A$158 cos ard S$200 bah after conversion.
Seagal,
Thk i should email the visitor centre for the map so no need to go airport to look for it. did they post you the map fast?

Sunnyling,
When I last stayed at Quest MR, my room consist of a queen bed and a twin bed. Definitely enuf for the 3 of you. Room is big and roomy with a balcony view of the pool and greenery. I think I paid abt A$130+ abt 1 yr plus ago and I booked thru wotif (which offered the cheapest rate then).

Dear Greenpink,
do your room have any kitchen? As I go thru the web they don't have any room that come with queen and twin. It come with 2 single or 1 king size bed. I thk I will only cook my boy meal with microwave or let him eat outside as he is big enough not like the previous trip I went only 18th Month we cook all his meal. Only problem is he very choosy in his meal kind of hard to let him eat out.

sunnyling,
No, my room doesn't have a kitchen but comes with microwave oven. Oh, I am very sure my room comes with a queen and a single bed. They might have done some room upgrading and do away with this kind of room configuration.
In fact, once you walk out of the Quest, there are many restaurants out there, very convenient. I know my son who's also fussy just ate Fish & Chips most of the time.

greenpink,
Oh than it should be the same as what I have booked, good to hear the room is big enough. My son favorite is also Fish but I find not healthy to let him Fish & Chip for 3 days hahaha. Thk I will make use the microwave oven to cook porriage and steam some fish and meat for him since supermarket is so nearby. I have already buy a tupperware for microwave use, very KS.

Hi Hopeac,
i see...just emailed M2000 for a quote. They quoted AUD810+ for my trip so Hertz is still cheaper.
Ice Cream Cafe/Factory,
Any mummies here have comments on Oggies (Swan Valley)or Simmos(Margaret River)?
I am still deciding which one to visit. Seems like Simmos has more activities e.g.kids fun park.
