Clean room, very large for older style motel, bigger than expected bathroom, although shower head needs cleaning/descaling, water shooting everywhere but on you, pillows could do with an update as well. Grounds surrounding the motel are in need of a good clean & tidy up, water for plants maybe a problem at present considering we haven't had a lot of rain. It was a shame not seeing to many roses in bloom as this place is renowned for its rose gardens. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Congratulations to the new owners for the quality of the fitment of the rooms - one of the most comfortable beds we have experienced in a motel/hotel. And the room was spacious.
The surrounds, with tens of thousands of roses, show great potential. The work done to date reveals that potential.
Highly recommended. We regret not having the opportunity to try the restaurant.

Could have had some packets of cereal and some bread for toast with some butter and jam as there was a toaster in the room. The sixties theme was fun as it would have been when the motel was built. Facilities were clean, room smelled fresh, bathroom very outdated.

I loved the decor and lay out of the room. The Resturant was beautiful and I was very happy it was available as the location is far from the town.

The beds were comfortable and the amenities were spot on. I was very happy there was a microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle.

I was impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the special care taken to match the decoration in the room.

Since it was Sunday no one was there when we checked out but it was a very simple and easy process as well.

The rooms at this property have been refurbished beautifully and are quite funky with a retro feel.
Our disappointment came from the way the property was advertised. It appeared to be attached to a winery and have a restaurant. It also appeared to be of quite a high standard. On the basis of this advertising we chose to spend our anniversary here - no winery (at least that was open), no restaurant (at least that was open), a long way from anything and no choice but dinner at the local pub, which while fine, was not what we had anticipated.

An old Icon rejouvenated

I recently stayed with 2 other friends for only one night. This was a stay off the back of a party in Gawler.
We absolutely loved the place. The rooms have been recently renovated. The beds are comfortable and the decor well thought out for the age of the build. The real surprise was at the rear of the rooms. There is a back door that opens onto a small low balcony which looks out onto a beautiful nature block full of large trees and home to to countless birds.
The main building is an iconic Lyndoch/Barossa land mark. The gardens are stunning and to be honest I thought the restaurant was closed. But under new management it has reopened. We did not have the opportunity to eat there but definately hope to return and enjoy the lovely hospitality that was given to us when we popped in for a night cap after our party. An instant family welcoming that made us feel like we were in an authentic Italian Cafe. To be clear this was not the decor but due to the friendly Managers and staff.
I cant wait to return and book dinner and tour the wineries. But even if wine isnt your thing, Lyndoch is a lovely quaint town with walks and a cycle track for visiting other towns. There is plenty to do.
My only recomendation would be to use UBER if it is available and not the taxi service. By taxi it cost $81 to get to Gawler and by UBER is cost $28 to get back.

You won't find many external photos of the rooms at Lyndoch Hill Motel. The motel rooms were built approximately 60 years ago and prior to the renovations would've given off a roadside motel slasher movie vibe. The new owners have thrown the paint around, with a view to capture a Palm Springs vibe. (Think, pale walls and pastel colours for doors and highlights)

Opening the door to the room showed a room that had been tastefully renovated but obviously on a budget. Weirdly the highlight was the new soft spongy carpet. The bathroom still had it's original tiles and wall to wall mirror, but again the Palm Springs inspired paint and styling freshened it up. The rooms are very comfortable to stay in.

There were a few downfalls:
* When we went, the restaurant was not open and still being renovated. It was one of the reasons we chose this place.
* The bed was far too soft to the point that the excellent new carpet was looking like a far more comfortable place to sleep.
* There was no hair-dryer in the room. This made getting ready for Saturday night dinner a bit difficult for my partner.

Clearly, the images on the internet relating to this property were not taken recently - our rooms were dirty, the furniture was ad hoc and uncomfortable, there was sand or grit of some kind on the sheets, the blinds on the back windows did not provide privacy from neighbouring back decks, and the heralded gardens are in desperate need of attention.
