Homestays in South Australia, Australia

I suspect this motel has recently been taken over by its next-door neighbour and may be undergoing renovations. They're certainly painting outside. Hopefully they'll do the inside as well ... To check in, you have to go next door to the Adelaide Royal Coach. This wasn't mentioned at all during the booking process. It wouldn't be an issue if you didn't have to cross a road and wait for traffic lights to get there and back when checking in and out. Somewhat annoying. The room had everything you needed (aside from Wi-Fi - and you're told there's none when you make the booking). The bed was very comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet at night - even with the Fringe in full-swing. I expected a lot of traffic noise. The room definitely needs renovating. Shower curtain rather than screen, toilet seat that doesn't fit the toilet, etc. Any other location it would be about an $80 room. However, it's within easy walking distance of North Terrace, etc., which was the reason I chose it.

A hotel that helps a colleague make a mistake. This family was good in all aspects of the evaluation and chose this family. The hotel's been making good comments. Nice position, too! Good recommendation!

Last year we had an evening meal here and, due to having to drive an hour or so home on country roads I chose not to drink any wine. So this year we stayed overnight and had a fabulous time. When they said a Premier King, they meant 'Premier'; the room was huge with a fantastic bed and large ensuite. Check in was easy and once we had settled into our room it was a nice walk back to reception and into the Piano Bar to enjoy the ambiance over a cocktail before going in to the restaurant for dinner. I had the special steak after confirming it was gluten free (I am coeliac and need to avoid gluten at all costs). The staff were very helpful and clearly understood my needs and I enjoyed one of the best steaks I've eaten in years; it melted in my mouth. I also had a desert (gluten free of course) and really enjoyed the wine (a local Pino Noir), not needing to worry about safe driving. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast in the 'Engine Room' and again my Gluten Free requirement was carefully looked after. I have no doubt we will be doing this again in the future.

This place is super great 👌 we enjoyed our stay! We will definitely come back. The room was so clean and the amenities are great especially for us who had a very active 2 year old. 😊😊😊

The environment is very good, very clean, the kitchen facilities are very complete, the cooking is convenient Two bedrooms for four people are very comfortable

The hygiene is that of a motel. There is nothing special. The environment is good. The other areas are RV campsites. The overall look is good. There are cameras at the door. Generally speaking, it is economical and can be lived in. It is just suitable for living alone.

I recently stayed in a Deluxe Safari Tent at Discovery Park Barossa Valley. I took my sister along to celebrate her 80th birthday. I requested twin beds and rang the day before our arrival to confirm we would have twin beds, but on arrival to our tent, I was rather miffed to find the bed made up as one King. A quick phone call and someone was over to rectify this. Then after using the very nice en suite bathroom, for the first time, I discovered a used wet towel still hanging on the back of our bathroom door. A brief email to the team and someone came over to collect the used towel that we left out on the verandah. The car park for the safari tents is located on the other side of the creek and you have a short walk over to the safari tent site which is restricted to safari tent guests only. Some tents are located close to this path but our tent, number 2 ,was tucked into the corner and required walking across the stepping stone path which is surrounded by smaller rocks. This was really a difficult journey for my sister and it was impossible for her to use her walker along this rocky stepping stone path. If you are coming with anyone who has any difficulty in walking, please make sure you find out which tent you are allocated first and that it is easy to access. I don't recall anywhere on their website that indicates that this is could be a problem. Tent 2 would also have the least desirable view from the balcony of all of the tents. Our first night stay was so peaceful and I felt very refreshed the first morning after a wonderful nights sleep in the very comfortable bed. Alas our second night was totally wrecked as the vineyard that abuts the safari tent area, (directly alongside the back of tent 2), had its vines harvested during the night. How could we be so unlucky! The harvest truck commenced at 12.30am and went until 4.30am. The noise was deafening and it was totally impossible to sleep. We had to check out at 10am and my nerves were all on edge due to the terrible night. I was very concerned about driving home after having so little sleep. I spoke to reception about it on my way out and whilst I appreciate it is something above their control, I really felt there was very little concern given to the effect that this had on us and how it totally wrecked what was supposed to be a relaxing stay and a special way to celebrate my sister's 80th birthday. A little bit of empathy from the park staff would have gone a long way but it was dismissed with 'we didn't know about and I've let our manager know'.

We had an ensuite powered site for our motorhome for one night. Ensuite was exceptionally clean. Rebooked for two nights a week later, and the staff did everything they could to help accommodate us again with an ensuite site. The grounds are well maintained. A very busy park, great facilities, but you have the feeling of being squashed in as there are so many cabins and powered sites close together. I do acknowledge that a lot of caravan parks are like this though. Excellent close proximity to the beach, shops, hotels and great walking paths to Semaphore and Pt Adelaide,

Hotel address is very close to the city. Travel is convenient. It is suitable for a self-driving tour. If it is not particularly picky, it is acceptable. The main parking is free. It is convenient.
