We spent mothers day weekend at the Clare Valley motel and were pleasently surprised by every aspect of our stay. Begining with initial email correspondence being prompt, friendly and informative, including providing us with menus for allergy restrictions, to the arrival and seeing our clean, well presented rooms. A night dining at the top of hill restaurant provided us with... More

We booked our accommodation at Clare Valley Motel over the telephone and Lee confirmed immediately by email. We actually booked a queen room but on arrival had a look at the unit and upgraded to a king/spa bath unit because it was a larger unit. We never used the spa bath though. We stayed for four nights and had a... More

We stayed at this motel some years ago when it was starting to look a bit tired. But now on a return visit with new owners Lee & Jan in charge - what a transformation! The whole place is first class. Clean rooms with smart decore, beautiful pool and surrounds, classy restaurant with fine food and then to top it... More

Such a wonderful getaway. Warm & friendly welcome and lovely clean & fresh room. We wished we had longer to stay as so peaceful and away from the busy main street. We dined in the restaurant at night and once again staff very attentive. Cosy fire, candlelit room, good music & great menu - all a plus. Couldn't fault our... More

At the end of a long ride travelling I was warmly welcomed to the motel and quickly took comfort in my room. The room was very nicely decorated and had all the mod cons to go with it, Foxtel was also included. I had dinner in the restaurant and had the best garlic bread I think I have ever eaten... More

We could spare only one night but this was the perfect place to unwind after a busy week around Adelaide and Kangaroo Island. Jan and Lee made us very much at home and the meals are first class - with special mention to the bug tails! Our American friends just couldn't get enough of them! It was great to finally... More

We couldnt fault our six day visit in a 3 star motel that should be rated 5 stars. Lee,Jan and Chippy were the perfect hosts, we felt we were part of a family. Andre served us up meals we can only dream about in Perth, breakfasts delivered on time to our room were something to look forward to and ALL... More

Being a 3 Star motel I was only expecting the basics.. Boy was I happy when I opened the door to my room. Lovely decor, high thread count sheets and the fresh red rose in a vase on the table was a lovely touch. Great breakfast choices. I would certainly recommend staying here. Friendly helpful staff.

We booked in for two nights in April and really enjoyed staying at this refurbished older style motel. Location is out of town a little but a bit of walking is good after a day of drinking and eating. We stayed in a King Spa room and found it light, roomy with a great bed. Bathroom is a little older... More

We arrived on a Monday for a couple of days of wine tasting, and had booked the Motel on-line. What a lovely surprise, our King Spa Suite had lovely views, and was clean and comfortable, we booked a table at the restaurant for dinner that night and enjoyed it so much, we booked a table for breakfast the next morning...
