Staff were very welcoming and room was fine for a stop over but not accom I would want to stay longer than that. Carpet quite stained and limited to very little crockery and cuttlery (one platic teaspoon and 2 knives). Very noisy fridge, old air con but worked well and good shower.

Reception gentleman was very pleasant and welcoming and checkout was fine also. However the motel is in need of renovation. It still lives in the 60's. The decor is dated and the bathroom facilities need a complete makeover. The lounge chair is impossible to climb out of and the mattress is hard. We took our own pillows so can't comment on those. Outside has awful old seats and pot plants and the doorway area had dust, dirt and leaves everywhere. It was alright for a one night stay but I will find an alternative next time I think. It was fairly clean but the hand basin should have been replaced a long time ago, along with the toilet suite. The restaurant is closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday but you can order breakfast in your room.

Its great you can have pets here but the rooms are very old, dated, neglected and really not nice at all. The fees have gone up also so now $178 p/night if you have pets, not worth it.

The photo of the front of this property (for advertising purposes) is so deceptive of the rear of the property. The property was the worst that we stayed at over two weeks of travelling and was far too expensive for what it was.

We were travelling from SA to Melbourne and needed a half way point to rest. Unfortunately didn't factor in the SA long weekend so very little accommodation available. Managed to grab last room here. Room was clean enough and staff great - but room is very dated and tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. We paid the same for a gorgeous glamping experience in the Barossa the night before - so this definitely left us feeling a little ripped off.
