The property is very budget friendly. While it is dated and pretty basic, it is very clean and the rooms are well maintained and I have rated it highly on this basis. I didn't understand that an internal room actually meant one without a window, and luckily there was another available that the owner was able to move us to, which had a view. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. I would stay again.

The only problem with this accomodation was the mattress. The springs seem to be sticking out. Not poking or broken just seem to be sleeping on springs. I have found flipping the mattress every couple of weeks will usually fix this problem. I do it in my own home

Good value just outside central Port Lincoln.

Having not been to southern Eyre Peninsula for nearly 20 years, I took advantage of travelling to a regional event to extend into a week long holiday.

Navigator's Motel, while not in the heart of Port Lincoln, can easily reach most places being a five to 10 minutes walk from the northern edge or a short drive.

While I didn't try the on-site diner above my room, it seemed popular with people in the evenings. There is a corner store just opposite the road, offering the basics for use with the kettle and microwave in the room.

My room was next to the parking and the road,. While sometimes the traffic from the highway was noticable, the blinds in the room ensured vehicle lights did not disturb.

Overall a very friendly place to stay for a longer visit, Enough facilities to feel at home, at a good value,

I really like the towel bath and bath mat as it looks new brand. Thank you🌻

I did not sleep well and it was due a lack of privacy between rooms. I could hear so well the room next to mine. There was a door separating the two rooms and there is no soundproof or sufficient isolation 😞
Also I could hear the neighbours coughing and speaking. I did not feel safe under this lack of isolation or privacy especially with the current covid19 situation. I think the facility needs to improve a safer path to their guests in terms of privacy and safe distancing between rooms.
