Serious Problems with this Motel.

This motel had an 8.4 rating which was one of the reasons we chose it, plus its relatively close location to town.
Check in was at 2:00pm so when we arrived at 2:15pm we were surprised to find the office locked and no one around. I called the 3 phone numbers left on the notice on the door, as it instructed me to should the office be unmanned. Two went to voice mail and the third’s mailbox was full so I couldn’t leave a message. I did leave a message on the other two. After about 10 minutes I received a callback letting me know someone would be there in 2-3 minutes. Then I received a second call saying they were on their way.
We were finally given our room and even though we were not overjoyed at the condition decided to stay or lose one night’s tariff.
I have included photos to show the condition of the bathroom and a couch that either needed an extreme clean or to be thrown out.
There was a plastic jug filled with water in the refrigerator that had black particles of who knows what, I shudder to think, floating in it. I emptied it and the particles clung to the sides.
The large trash bin in the grounds looked like it hadn’t been emptied in months.
The room, especially the bathroom, smelled of cigarette smoke.
Luckily the bed was comfortable, we were only staying 2 nights, and we went out during the day.
I would have told the manager about these issues when we checked out at 8:10am but the office was locked with no one about. It was supposed to be open at 8:00am.

Great location with easy access to local shops as well as wineries. The room we stayed was reasonably clean but the bedding needed some improvements where the blankets were not warm enough and the availability of extra blankets was limited. (The extra blankets that were given had some marks from old dirts even though we were told they had been washed)

Property was in a fair condition. For a family room for up to 7 people to sleep in there was only room for 2 towels to be hung. The wardrobe is on its last legs and not enough space for luggage to be stored.
The room and bathroom could also do with a revamp.

The property was in an OK situation in general. However, the room needed a proper cleaning, especially under the beds (found dead cockroaches) and the dusty blinds. The pool was dirty on the day we arrived and we intended to swim on a hot day, there was a tissue down the pool.

Comfortable though a bit dated. Quiet area. Furnishings not to everyone's taste.
Bed comfortable though an extra couple pillow would be great! (2 pillows in a deluxe/king room!). Microwave would be handy. More power points needed. Bedside lamps need changing with brighter globes. Bathroom quite small. Need a shelf or somewhere to put toiletries. Some paint would improve the BR. Internet very slow. Paying more isn't reflected in what is received.

Nice clean room, very spacious bathroom, great pillows with a comfortable bed. As far as a motel goes this is the way they should be.

Host was very nice and friendly. Sorted out our bed configuration issue instantly.

Great value.

Would stay again.

Great family stay

We had a family room which was affordable and comfortable, great spot. Quiet and not far from the vineyards and the beds very comfortable. Great to have a fridge and microwave plus coffee/teamaking facilities. Staff friendly. Would be good to have more info provided on website prior to visit. Also update décor in rooms

Better then expected, cosy rooms at a good price

Came up for a wedding, booked this motel as it seem the cheapest for what it offered. On arrival the staff was very friendly and were prompt to check us in. Rooms were exceptionally clean and tidy with all comforts you would expect.
Would recommend this motel to any of my friends and would definitely stay here again

Everything was good!

It was nice and cosy, however, it was surprising to find a shower cap with some used tissues inside and there was a smell of smoke. Also, we couldn't figure out how to switch the microwave on. Otherwise, it is a very convenient location, nice spacious room and comfortable beds.

Family of 6 stayed for 1 night

Check in was super quick which is very important when you have infant & 2 kids.

Room was clean , tidy and well presented. Had enough supplies of all essentials.

Only thing I can suggest for such a big family room is Ceiling Fan for hot days.
