Room and amenities were fine but having ppl next door to us making noise until we had to get up and confront them at 2am was very disappointing. The whole reason we stayed was to have a good night sleep as we had an early start and a long drive.

This Motor Inn was a great find for an overnight stay on our way to Adelaide. Easy to find and close to seeing the sights on Mount Gambia, the room was compact, clean and cosy. Great stay and easy to check in and out on a public holiday.
