Peninsula Motor Inn

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Peninsula Motor Inn is described as an older, budget-style stopover that is generally clean with friendly staff, while rooms vary in comfort and show their age, with some noise and HVAC issues.

Facilities are basic: there is a pool and spa, though access or the hot tub did not always work, and parking is mostly easy near rooms but bay markings and dirt surfaces drew a few complaints. Cleanliness is often praised, but some guests noted odours, worn bedding, and maintenance problems like broken tiles or mould. Expect simple, no-frills lodging best suited to a practical overnight stay.

Basic facilities, but clean 👌. Lovely hot water for shower. Convenient spot to stay, and parking right infront of room.

It would help if there were white lines for the parking bays as peoples bad parking meant there was 5 cars in a space that could have accommodated probably 6 cars so i had to park well away from my room.

Old fashioned motel, needs updating but was clean and comfortable. Provided toaster and cutlery but no washing up facilities. Swimming pool very nice with jacuzzi. Unfortunately other residents were loud and partied all night, this wasn’t the motels fault though.

This hotel was the worst we've ever stayed in, and at $160 for the night, was one of the most expensive. The room smelled of mould and mildew, and gave me asthma overnight. The small double bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the linen, whilst clean, was very old, stained, and threadbare. The bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan, and the ceiling was mouldy and rotting. The first room they gave us was worse and the heater didn't work, so they moved us to a marginally better one. The building is rotting in several sections, and the ironing board was broken in the laundry. The games room and pool were locked and not accessible in the afternoon.

Overall clean and tidy with easy vehicle access and parking. Within walking distance from shops. Good price. Only 2 little issues: 1) the heating didn’t seem to work properly which made the first night’s stay uncomfortable, and 2) you have to negotiate a rather high and wide step into and out of the shower which is a safety hazard on a wet and slippery floor.

Very much in need of updating. The air con is from the 60s. I ran a hot shower without needing the cold tap. All night we could hear neighbours coughing, farting and using toilet. Didn’t seem to be many guests, yet we were all in adjoining rooms so could hear EVERYTHING in neighbouring rooms. Won’t be in a hurry to return.

The staff were great in accommodating my late arrival and also my request to change my room, the bad things that happened were thoughtless neighbours who had there tv on loud ALL night and when I changed rooms the next night different neighbours were allowing there kids to run up and down the front of everyone’s rooms screaming with no supervision till almost midnight. Very thoughtless behaviour towards other paying guests.

I chose this place because it was close to an event I was attending. The room is a little outdated and could definitely do with an update, but the bed was comfortable and the TV worked. Biggest downer was the noisy aircon. I had to turn it off in the end because it was so loud. And unfortunately could hear the aircon in the room next door after it did that. Reception lady was friendly and helpful.

My expectations were low as it was cheap. We booked two nights but left early as my partner was unhappy with the property. There was a man smoking at the front in the room next door and that wafted under our door. There was a noisy occupant at night. The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure good. There were very few power outlets. The accomodation is dated and in need of some TLC and an update to make it more comfortable. We won't be returning

This accommodation is old school and reminds me of the overnight stays when I was a kid travelling with my family. Is almost day it’s vintage!:) Yes, it’s old, with all of its original bathroom, heating/cooling, doona covers ect, and a very tired landscape, but it was comfy & quiet. It was a clean room, with all the basics needed: working tv, comfy bed, ample amounts of blankets & pillows, and great shower pressure! I’d stay here again:)
