Testimonials
A great motel. Rooms are very well appointed and comfortable. Location is great being close to many of the wineries. Beautiful set up with beautiful outlooks and each unit has a rear entry for ease of access to the vehicle. Fantastic bbq area with under cover gazebo. Hosts are outstanding

Absolutely fabulous place. Manager was most accommodating and very helpful. We booked for forty people so it was a complex group and Mark arranged everything perfectly. This also included a bbq night in the gazebo and he was extremely helpful setting it up for us. Highly recommend as a place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Coonawarra Place Motor Inn. The room was very spacious with a lovely feel. There was a lounge, kitchen facilities and table and chairs. We felt like valued guests and loved the extra touches like a teapot, loose leaf tea and plunger coffee. Having the heating from the air conditioner turned on ahead of time for us and the provision of a continental breakfast included in the price was unexpected and very welcome. The bed was really comfy. We would definitely book again.

The location is right in the middle of the vineyard with beautiful views and gardens. I was upgraded to a spa room and the bed is comfortable and the room is nice and clean. The room has a large smart TV and kitchenette. Personally I enjoy the country style look and feel from the solid brick walls and natural timber ceilings.
