The executive studio is well worth the money; stayed in this fabulously beautiful and neatly designed spacious queen-bed room for 3 nights to access wineries, vineyards and orchards in the Barossa Valley and Riverland regions; almost everything in this property particularly for this room category is red-carpet; we enjoyed a private deep-soaking jetted tub, exclusive room access, exclusive single-vehicle parking space right in front of our room, daily room service, fresh towels everyday and personalised customer service; owner Elizabeth is approachable and very congenial; our room attendant Ki is on the ball and kind in attending to our needs and making our stay pleasant and wholesome; we were treated with free drinks throughout our stay - thank you very much! I will return definitely and would highly recommend this property for their exceptional service, cleanliness, spacious executive studio accommodation, and contemporary room design and furnishings.

The staff at the palms are absolutely amazing, it felt like we were staying in a resort. We got more than we could have expected, the spa bath was cosy and so relaxing, our room was so spacious and wonderful, with our own little back entrance and car park.

Barossa Palms is a clean retro, boutique motel with friendly & responsive staff. The availability of a gym & ambient wellness room with massage chairs is a real plus. We really enjoyed our stay and will be sharing our positive experience at the Barossa Palms. A big thanks to Ki for her warm country welcome & great service.

We were sad to leave this motel! It’s such a nice little place! Old Australiana. We loved it. The man at reception allowed us to check in an hour early so we could get ready for a wedding and check out an hour late the next morning. Thank you! He said he’d do anything to accommodate us. We’ll be back next time we’re there! Very clean, super hot water, great shower pressure, enough room for our two suitcases and carry ons. Easy parking right in front of our room. It was great!

This place is a disgrace. The most discusting place we have ever stayed in. The bathroom floor was filthy, clearly unwashed. The place stank of cigarette smoke, buckets with litter of alcohol bottles outside the room doors. Dust and sticky surfaces, mosquitos, inadequate flyscreen. Oh yeah, clean towels were provided! There needs to be a fire and safety inspection on this place urgently! There are permanent residents living here that booze and smoke all day and night. The reviews are a lie, they are clearly being fraudulently posted. DO NOT STAY HERE.... WOTIF need to be held accountable for enabling this place to be advertised. This place is a home for local residents, who are vulnerable and are being exploited by the owners. I intend on making a formal complaint to the local council and fire authorities.

Room had just been refurbished and in the main a great upgrade particularly the shower facility. Two comments that are not meant to detract too much from the upgrade are the room was freshly painted and the paint fumes were overpowering (maybe a day or two airing would have been better) also in the new configuration there is no over bowl shaving mirror.

The room was quiet and tidy, with beautiful surroundings—ideal for a short stay. However, the bathroom and shower area were quite narrow, and the shower curtain kept clinging during use, which was rather uncomfortable. Better maintenance is recommended.

Location

Quiet setting that works well for exploring the Barossa by car, with several guests finding it convenient. A few note restaurants and services are a drive or longer walk away, and the immediate surrounds can feel industrial or dated.

Stayed in July 2025, The property is exceptionally well maintained, clean, and clearly cared for with great attention to detail. The business owner and staff are kind, helpful, and genuinely friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome throughout. It's definitely highly recommended — and honestly, worth far more than what we paid. The location is also very convenient for exploring anywhere around the Barossa.
