Coonawarra Motor Lodge

8/10 Good
"The decor of our room was dated but it was very clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet even though it was closest to the main road. The bathroom appeared to have been recently upgraded and the overall layout of the room made the most of the available space. In the right weather the small balcony would make for a very acceptable spot for a 5.00pm (or earlier!) re-hydration. It's a little bit of a walk to the main activities in town but all up it was very affordable and well worth considering if coming back."
