Small, but clean and adequate.
This was a comfortable motel, which suited us very well, as we went to a family gathering nearby. The room was small but adequate. Most things worked well - kettle, toaster, hairdryer, one bed lamp, ceiling fan and a particularly good television. We had no need to use the aircon or the microwave. There is an exceptionally good and solid table to work or eat at, etc; plus comfortable chairs, in addition to a little table and chairs outside. The bathroom was very small, but also adequate and the shower had a strong flow of water, and the floor wasn’t particularly slippery. There were rails and hooks to hang towels. A washer was supplied. The plug in the basin held water, but it was awkward to fill the kettle which didn’t fit under the tap. Forget the BBQ area - that was just a big ashtray! We didn’t see any sign of breakfast or crockery/cutlery, but there would be something available nearby. The carpet looked new but probably not laid properly as it had ripples. Wardrobe was good size and there were coat hangers. There were no tissues. Everything was clean.

Cigarette burns in pillow and something smeared on curtains next to bed . Arrives late and no one at to check in except disturb owners who were not happy to answer door at 10pm, but no other option

This motel had an 8.4 rating which was one of the reasons we chose it, plus its relatively close location to town.
Check in was at 2:00pm so when we arrived at 2:15pm we were surprised to find the office locked and no one around. I called the 3 phone numbers left on the notice on the door, as it instructed me to should the office be unmanned. Two went to voice mail and the third’s mailbox was full so I couldn’t leave a message. I did leave a message on the other two. After about 10 minutes I received a callback letting me know someone would be there in 2-3 minutes. Then I received a second call saying they were on their way.
We were finally given our room and even though we were not overjoyed at the condition decided to stay or lose one night’s tariff.
I have included photos to show the condition of the bathroom and a couch that either needed an extreme clean or to be thrown out.
There was a plastic jug filled with water in the refrigerator that had black particles of who knows what, I shudder to think, floating in it. I emptied it and the particles clung to the sides.
The large trash bin in the grounds looked like it hadn’t been emptied in months.
The room, especially the bathroom, smelled of cigarette smoke.
Luckily the bed was comfortable, we were only staying 2 nights, and we went out during the day.
I would have told the manager about these issues when we checked out at 8:10am but the office was locked with no one about. It was supposed to be open at 8:00am.

Great location with easy access to local shops as well as wineries. The room we stayed was reasonably clean but the bedding needed some improvements where the blankets were not warm enough and the availability of extra blankets was limited. (The extra blankets that were given had some marks from old dirts even though we were told they had been washed)
