My second time staying here and its beautiful. The gardens and lawn areas surrounding the hotel are a real delight and the owners are fantastic, they offer a free shuttle in and out of town of a night time for meals which is incredible. The daily continental breakfast supplied in your room is also well received. Such a great experience I highly recommend.

Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Complimentary continental breakfast was very welcome as there are no nearby places to get breakfast. Enjoyed a quiet seat on the rear patio overlooking a pretty garden. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Great location to walk to a few wineries, or base yourself for the tours. Grounds are large with a central BBQ area, but plenty of room not to impose. Short drive to Penola for any essentials.

Great place to stay, not a typical motel. The property is spacious and surrounded by vineyards. The rooms were very clean, and the staff exceptionally friendly. An in-room continental breakfast was provided, including complimentary bottled water and juice. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Everything any guest could need for a comfortable stay was all on hand, but what we loved most was the "80s Chic Vibe" and the peaceful gardens... cosy, warm and inviting in a way that is rarely found when looking for accommodation anywhere now. We will certainly be back and highly recommend Coonawarra Place Motor Inn as a wonderful place to stay.
