It’s a basic property but in a great spot. We came down to do a triathlon having double booked the weekend with WOMADelaide. That meant we arrived late (after 9pm) but check in was still easy. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a one night stay. We left at 6am next morning. The kids always love the chance to sleep in bunk beds and our bed was fine. If you are looking for five star amenities, then go elsewhere. If you want a classic Australian country motel, somewhere to sleep for a night or two passing through, or an affordable family vacation, then this could be your place. A solid 3 star venue.

Parking easy, we did not use air conditioner. Getting water for kettle not easy, had to use a cup to get to the tap in bathroom. There was no tea towel or anything to wash plates ect. I was surprised to see a toaster and microwave which would have been handy to know.

It was the worst motel. We arrived around 2.20pm. No one at reception. I called the number and he was in bed. He got up opened the door a bit and said..your in room 1. The key is in the door. Then went back inside and closed the door. As soon as I stepped into the room I knew this wasnt going to be good so I checked the dishes and to my horror there was dried food on all of them. The cutlery was the same. I complained so he put us in another room which ended up being exactly the same. The rooms were absolutely filthy. I could go on and on and on. We left first thing in the morning. Keep away from that place

I dont like to complain but this was the worst hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed all over SA, interstate and overseas. The room was very dirty, the internet didnt work, and the milk was rotten.
All the floors looked like this. Including the bathroom.
This was a clean white face washer I used to wipe the bench. All surfaces were this dirty.
This is the worst part. Dirty cutlery, empty sugar packs, dried orange peel. Foul. This was all jambed in the windows sill above the bunks. It must have been there for weeks. Clearly our room was not cleaned before we stayed

Concerned about the laundry. Linen (bedding and towels) a bit smelly, are they using enough detergent to wash items? Room a good size and comfortable, site/location handy and quiet. Cafe onsite a bonus.

The room smelt like smoke although, the screen door had a hole in it which felt very unsafe, the deadlock was broken so I had to push my table up to the door to feel safe. The towels had stains on them (looked like bleach) It just wasn’t a very nice stay.

Oh boy, where do I begin. Perhaps with pubic hairs on an obviously unclean bed-sheet? The need to ask for a Wi-fi network name & password since it's not shared on arrival? A stack of spoons and sugar sachets for some reason stashed behind the Venetian blinds (a clear indication the room had not been cleaned for years). Perchance, the musty, suffocating air inside that is a sure-fire way to legionnaire's disease [still coughing after 2 days]?. Take your pick. But here is the good news! I have traveled through AU extensively, and this is officially the 2nd worst motel I've ever been to. It is incomprehensible the guy's still in business. Seriously hazardous to health: book at your own risk if there is nothing else for miles around.
