We found our accommodation to be clean, tidy and parking to the unit was accessible. The motel is away from the main shops but that is what we were looking for. Very easy to drive back into the main shopping area. We enjoy the quiet and have stayed here before Thank you

Do not stay at this motel. The first room they tried to put us in smelt of mould. Then the room we ended up with the screen door had a hole in it with the key just sitting in the wood door. The carpet was stained and not vacuumed, the pillow slip was stained with someone's sweat took of the pillow slip to find the pillow stained aswell. This motel looks like the furniture and linen is still the same as it was when the hotel was first built. Needs a bulldozer disgustingly filthy. The booking companies should at least have some kind of responsibility to check that hotels and motels are a little bit more honest with what customers see on the sites

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.

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.

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.

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
