A decent enough motel for our one night stay...we arrived after a long drive from Kangaroo Island and decided to dump our bags and have dinner. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly....the food was good as was the wine. Comfortable room, clean and tidy and a decent shower though rather noisy through the night with road noise. Breakfast was ok, nothing special but set us up for the day and both dinner and breakfast were good value for money.

There was poo in the toilet bowl. A small brown piece of poo was sitting at the bottom of the toilet bowl. There were white stains all over the shower floor.

Very noisy, can hear neighbours as if they are in the same room.
Bed is extremely comfortable but the room lacks modern touches like a smart Tv.

Black mould in ensuite bathroom. Paint peeling from the walls. Dark, broken roller shutters. Dated decor. Dirty rug in living area.

The staff member Stephanie ,on duty when we arrived after a very long day of driving was exceptional in every way. We had several electrical problems in our room and she acted promptly to resolve and assist us . She was professional and empathetic and ultimately moved us , even helped us pack up and move to a different room. We highly recommend her can do service with a smile. The hotel was in a great location with great in room facilities.

Overall the property was clean and neat. The dishes needed a good was not a simple wipe out. But I booked for the restaurant for dinner, the cooked breakfast to room and room service non of which were available due to being closed over the new year period. So this should have been advised or allowed me to cancel with refund.

We book this motel because the preferred accommodation wasn't available for both nights at Mount Gambier.
This one is a budget motel on the main road - good enough for road trip stop-over - you want to spend as little time in the room as possible

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. Motel was close to town. Meals were tasty, generous and well priced.

Greeting at reception was very nice and the room was initially very clean.
I had two issues with my stay;
1. the room wasn't cleaned by housekeeping the next morning with the bed not made, nor was the bathroom surfaces (vanity and basin) wiped. I simply had new towels added.
2. The loud screaming noise (like a smoke detector) that the plumbing made when the neighbor had a shower late at night. It was so loud I went to reception worried about an alarm going off :) and they came to investigate it and heard it also.

Toilet seat was off in first room. Moved to another room. Kettle fused the power. Got another it didn’t work. Third kettle was ok. Washer dryer was hard to use. Dinner from room service went cold while dealing with unworking dryer. Was not offered any discount for all the inconvenience. Won’t be staying there again. Would benefit from better signage in laundry on how to use washer dryer. Also a sign telling guests to remove their clothes promptly from the dryers so others can use it. What’s the protocol on taking someone else’s stuff out if it’s finished drying.
