Parking no problem, room is ok, staff is try their best, I don’t use aircon.
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.
Room and pool area way below standard neglected and in desperate need of maintenance . Expedia should really check their accomodation listings

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.

The room was comfortable. Extra pillows and blankets in the cupboard are helpfull. A room appointed for disabled persons is a good idea and disabled parking near the room is a blessing.
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.
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.
