This motel is a pleasant and quiet place to stay in the charming town of Penola. It is within easy walking distance to the shops and the numerous historical sites. Although a little dated, our room was spotless, and offered all the amenities required for an overnight stay.

This is a very good value for the price. The grill area was excellent and the people running the place were amazing. It may not be the most flash place but it was the best value that we have found in several trips to the area.

The room and utensils were nice and clean. The host was very friendly. It was 500 or so meters from the centre of Penola and there was good off street parking (free). We would stay again.

Booked for 2 nights during Festival but upon arrival was allocated an upstairs room. Despite the property not being fully booked was told a ground floor room was not available. This was a problem for us as being elderly we found that climbing stairs difficult. Parking was behind the building and open to anyone passing, I found this not very secure. Restaurant was Closed.
