“Our second visit! Best base ever to explore the region.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

Lesley and Jeff are the consumate hosts and again we have been welcomed like old friends. The atmosphere is warm and homely in the lodge, the food prepared by Lesley is heart-warming and belly-filling and much conviviality was to be had perched at the bar whilst enjoying a glass of the local wine. Yay for the free jukebox!

The units are so comfortable and we slept like tops on really good beds. Very quiet and peaceful.

Thank-you indeed to our hosts and so look forward to our return to the fabulous Barossa.

“Very homely accomodation!”

After a four and half hour drive to Tanunda, we were welcomed by the very friendly staff at Barossa Motor Lodge. This had been recommended to us by friends that had stayed there previously. Managers were very obliging in giving us ideas of what to do and where to go during our stay.
Rooms were quite comfortable, bed was great and air con was awesome. After our tiring days checking out the Valley, it was a nice place to head back and stay.
Meals in the restaurant were cooked just as our family liked.
Would definately stay here again.

“Safety issues”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Husband suffered an electric shock had to ring owners then maintenance guy asked if we had a torch so he could switch the power back on, no lighting outside to see, had to replace door knob as key would not open door this took 3/4 of an hour to do. Rooms are very outdated, no bedside lights worked, a very dissapointing stay for a major SA Tourist area. Maintenace needs to be done ASAP for safety reasons. I could post many other issues that are of concern. Electrical work needs top priority and lighting outside of rooms need to be on at night so guests do not fall and can see to open door. A very dissapointing stay.

Room Tip: ask to see rooms first and check that there has been electrical safety tags

“Don't expect the Ritz and you won't be disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2011

person found this review helpful

It is what it is - a tired old motel desperately in need of a makeover.
There are much better places in the Barossa, and if they had had vacancies I would not have been staying here.
The aircon kept me awake all night and the tv was old and restricted to basic channels.
And there was no wifi.
On the upside the service was good, and the hotel staff quite willingly held some goods in storage for a few days which I had sent over for a conference.

Stayed 1 night on our ticky tour around south Australia. It was our 1st night in s.a. The Room was dinghy because of low energy bulbs, or to try and hide stains on sofa. Definately due for refurb. Recepionist very nice and helpful. Dinner o.k.
