What guests think

At St Francis Winery, travellers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, while many note spacious yet dated rooms, variable mattresses, and maintenance niggles, plus an indoor heated pool and on-site dining that can be convenient but inconsistent.

The location is convenient for shops, public transport and access to Flinders and McLaren Vale, with scenic gardens and a duck pond. Common downsides include noise from other guests or functions and water-hammer pipes, along with occasional cleanliness lapses. Breakfast is usually weekends-only. Overall, expect a good-value, convenient stay in an older property.

Would have expected a directory of services booklet in the room. Didn't know what TV channels there was and if we could take room towels to the pool? Also no instructions for the phone, didn't know if we could ring reception? Otherwise room was good. Pool was great. The only downside is that park was a distance from the room.

positives. The family unit had a large bedroom. the unit was clean and given the age of the premises in good clean order. Walking distance to a large independent grocer and a nice cafe for breakfast negatives. the property had some flood damage due to a recent storm so we were unable to enjoy the dining room, maybe on the next trip. the people in the unit next to ours stood at their front door to smoke which would then drift into our room, perhaps a smoking area would be possible.

Great location, staff were very friendly. Unfortunately our children couldn’t use the pool as the heater was broken for our entire stay. Room was spacious & quiet, but the cleaning was average. We returned late one evening to find our room had not been cleaned.

Pros: -supermarket only 2 minute walk away -Picturesque setting complete with duck pond -Indoor pool open 8am-10pm -Comfortable bed -In room cooking facilities -In room bath great for kids -great accommodation rate through wotif -Short drive to Westfield Marion Cons: -No working freezer (out ice-cream spoilt) -Pool closed across the two hottest days of our stay 5 day stay and also the morning of our departure -Overnight security was lacking. The pool got broken into on the last night of our stay. The premises was not alarmed and there was no one on call to report this to. -Very thin blanket on sofa bed, no extra blanket provided for comfort -No follow up as to how the stay was going on the two instances contact was made with reception. Also no follow up during checkout. -Lag in refund of $100 room deposit

The kitche was not fully set as a kitchen. No toaster, no towels provided for the pool. Which stopped us swimming. Ask to provide a security deposit of $100 in case damage occured. This does not happen with other motels or hotels?

Staff were nice on arrival. Room was noisy, lounge was hard and stained, bed saggy, spa well passed it’s used by date. Noises from above were offensive firstly the spa and then after those people moved as their spa didn’t work properly someone took it upon themselves to use the room for a sex romp until the wee hours with periods of loud talking and clomping around the floor. The lock on the door was also insufficient. Cobwebs on the ceiling. I won’t be returning.

St Francis is in a very nice location and the staff are all very friendly and helpful, however the rooms are not sound proof, so we had noisy neighbours on the first night (not too bad) and there was a private function on the second night that kept us awake into the early hours, if you choose St Francis winery's for your stay away from home i would recommend packing earplugs.

Deb went above and beyond for us and I couldn’t be more thankful for her help from check in to check out. The place was comfortable, clean and tidy…. The only down fall was having a shower the next morning almost scaulded ourselves with hot water as cold water tap was broken and wouldn’t work other than that everything was amazing.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our time at your resort. Wehad arrived for my youngest son's wedding and your resort was within 15-20 minutes driving. Our room was good and clean. The staff are excellent, cheerful and helpful. I was unwell while there, not feeling inclined to attend the dining room .. on being asked for a mug for cup-a-soup" and a small meal for my daughter, they stated "no problem" and delivered both to our room. The meals we had in the dining room were really good.. tho a bit large for my smaller appetite, We loved the huge old trees and the available outside tables. If I was better in health I would have used your pool. You had an Engagement party while we were there, but we were not disturbed by noise or preparations. Will definitely keep your resort in mind if needed again or to recommend to others. Thank You ..

It seems like they dont know how to behave in a multicultural environment. I complained at the reception but not sure if the complaint will be registered. Expedia miss guided us. Also Expedia is not reliable servise.

A very nice, comfortable room with spa. Meals were delicious. Room service option could be advertised in room with a menu. There was no information about this and also never saw the pool that was mentioned at check in. It would be good when booking to be notified re climbing stairs with baggage. Not everyone can do this. Also I didn't realise when booking that the breakfast is only served on weekends so that was a tad inconvenient having to organise another option on a work day.

We wanted to stay at a winery and found St Francis thinking that this met our needs. Not so as it is not a winery, and hasn't been for 40 years or more, it is really a party and wedding venue which is very tired and in need or a great deal of work to smarten it up. We had booked a superior room but there was nothing superior about the accommodation. The restaurant was mediocre and the meal not worthy of any comment. Would not stay again under any circumstances.
