What guests think

Across many reviews, McLaren Vale Motel & Apartments is praised for friendly staff, spacious, clean rooms, and a convenient location near McLaren Vale’s eateries and wineries, with facilities like a pool, BBQs, and in-room laundry or kitchen options.

While several note the property is dated, most felt it was comfortable and well maintained.

it was HOT when we arrived, and as we rode our motorcycles there we were pretty baked. Checkout was easy and our room was already cool when we got there. We therefore used the pool straight away and it was great. Our TV in our room had an issue and the staff very kindly replaced it immediately. All the staff were lovely and helpful and the motel was walking distance to food on the main road. They also had free clothes washing facilities which was great and helped us out when we forgot our sunscreen. Can highly recommend!

It’s a good location for visiting wineries. Our room didn’t have any natural light, perhaps it’s good for summer. It’s convenient to have a full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Really roomy and clean. Was like a home away from home with all the appliances - oven, microwave, washing machine, dryer etc. Spa bath is great. Well kept pool area. Very friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again.

We were really happy with our stay, the room was large and clean, we found the place to be quite old school which was great. Food in room for breakfast was very generous and included in room price, the staff were next level friendly and helpful. The whole place just has a good vibe, rooms very clean. The bonus was there is a sauna on site that can be used anytime with room key swipe, the pool area is lovely. Unfortunately, due to the weather we couldn't enjoy the outdoor space with garden and fountain, but it looked very inviting. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere nice to stay.

As advertised, very basic room. Shower and toilet were below par. The rooms had a toxic chemical smell that was quite unpleasant and did not diminish in time. This made all who stayed here feel uncomfortable and unwell.

The room was quiet, comfortable, clean, and sizeable, with a kitchen, spa bath, shower, washing machine, and tumble drier. We enjoyed our stay and will definately return when next in the region. The light show when in the the bathroom was a lovely touch - what a pity we didn't discover it until long after our spa bath...
