"small but ok"
for most services one must commute to bridgetown, or bunbury.

"are you a millionaire? if not, don't bother visiting"
it lures you in with all the hype, and then there isn't much going for it.
most people visiting actually believe that it's on the beach!
good place if you have a spare million in your pocket.
people on an average salary get greeted by petrol twenty cents higher than perth as they drive into town. all eateries are overpriced and aimed at the wealthy. the tav is the only place where you still get a decent size meal for reasonable price.
very little to do if you have kids and it is raining. btw, it sure does rain! about 6 months of the year.
rents are obcene, and over summer it's nearly impossible to find a rental.
most seasonal workers end up sharing houses with up to ten others.
the unlucky locals that don't own a house are being driven out of the place, as margaret river tries to emulate byron bay and fails miserably.
surf? if you are a beginner forget it. if you love huge powerful dumpers and want to share them with a packload of wannabe's and a few true locals, then it's your cuppa tea.

Margaret river is my favorite place, my family and i loved it there, and we tented it we are far far from millionaires. Obviously you didnt open your eyes and see the real beauty of this gourgous place.
This comment says more about the person who wrote it and is totally detached from the wonderful reality of Margaret River. Clearly something has upset the author and this is the child within spitting its dummy out. Smile my friend....you're alive !!
