“Read some good things about this accommodation on trip adviser but overall it did not live up to expectations.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2010

person found this review helpful

Recently spent a week in Adelaide and surrounds and during that time spent three nights at the Barossa Motor Lodge in Tanunda. Paid more for this accommodation than other places in Adelaide and Glenelg and it was by far the poorest standard. Firstly it is located a number of kilometers from Tanunda and as for walking to wineries you would have to be joking.The standard of the rooms is fairly basic. The air conditioner sounds like an aeroplane taking off and the room is not sound proof. I could hear the children next door as well as the outside noise. The food from the restaurant was disgusting. Also i paid for wireless internet that kept droping out of service and when i told management their was no suggestion of a refund. They mentioned other people had the same problem.
The one positive thing i would say about the motor lodge is that the staff are lovely. They were very helpful when i asked for advice and were always very friendly.
However the motor lodge is over priced and presents a very average standard.

“Clean, friendly and close to the Vines!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2010

We found this motel after drving into Tanunda. Great little place to lay our heads for a few night. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Friendly front staff. Good value. I would love to go back and explore the area more. Rent bikes! Only thing is the restaurants close very early in the evening.

Stayed February 2010, travelled with family

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2009

person found this review helpful

Hopped off the Ghan in Adelaide and stayed with the kids for 1 night. Next day headed for the Barossa Motor Lodge, for 2 nights, having booked it over the net.
Staff were great when we arrived and helpfull. Room was big and well furnished and very clean - excellent facilities. Went to the restaurant for dinner and what a find. Walked in and saw 2 other tables occupied, thought "oh no". Big mistake - hubby behind the bar and wife cooking in kitchen - excellent food, service and hospitality.
Breakfast next morning - hubby cooking and the wife having a well deserved rest - again great food cooked well and served well.
At all times we felt like we were welcome and the rooms had back and front outdoor areas so you can relax any time of the day.

“Great Value place to stay to explore Vineyards”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2009

We stayed at the Motor Lodge for three nights with the soul pupose of exploring the vineyard. From the roadway the place looks a bit run down. But the rooms are large and have everything you need. The staff are more then helpfull and the place is quite. The location is also a plus with a five minute walk into the shopping area of Tanunda where there are a number of good restaurants. The neqarest wineries are a minute or two by car. Great value place will stay there again.
