Coonawarra Place Motor Inn

What guests think

At Coonawarra Place Motor Inn, guests praise spacious, very clean rooms and friendly hosts, enjoy the quiet vineyard setting, but note trade-offs like distance to town dining and limited transport options, alongside occasional dated features.

Many appreciate the self-serve continental breakfast and thoughtful in-room amenities like microwaves, plates, and cutlery. Gardens, lawns, and a BBQ area add to the appeal, though a few reviews note maintenance lapses and that the advertised pool is unavailable. Some guests experienced patchy Wi-Fi or TV reception and, on longer stays, limited room servicing. Overall, expect a comfortable base for winery visits with simple conveniences rather than full resort facilities.

Big and clean rooms, but beds are on the smaller side and the pool isn’t usable. It was great to have the BBQ as there weren’t many dining options around.

We only chose this place as it advertised a pool when we booked. The pool was emptied 2 years ago, so no pool. Very misleading. On the plus side, the rooms were quite spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Location is central to most wineries.

This place was dirty and full of bugs, flies and various creepy crawlies. Also they didn't clean the rooms on the days we stayed there. On arriving, our first stop was the Foodland hardware aisle to buy big spray, a fly swatter and various other knickknacks to help manage the bug infestation. The breakfast room was an even worse travesty. This is a property that would have some potential if the owner were willing to invest in doing up the place and keeping it clean!

I didn't see the outside we were there for work so out early and back late at night. There was a fridge and a microwave which suited us well. Bed was comfy pillows were aweful. Overall the room was very clean no issues. I was worried with all the bad reviews, however very grateful that other reviews were not correct.

This property is 10 minutes from the nearest town with night time dining, unfortunately there is no taxi service in the area and neither the hotel our local eating establishments offer a courtesy bus. It's very unfortunate considering you are in wine country and one or two would be nice with dinner without the risk of driving home. This hotel is really inconveniently located and makes getting around a real struggle. Also I stayed for 3 nights and my room was not serviced once whilst I was there. At $200 per night I expect a little more. I probably wouldn't stay here again.
