We visited the area for the first time and loved the spacious, clean rooms. There was a beautiful BBQ area and pool and communal garden areas with lots of seating. Definitely recommend stopping here.

Had a great few days at McLaren Vale Motel & Apartments. Huge room that had everything needed. The shower/spa was in a separate room to the toilet which was convenient. Two large recliners to watch the large wall mounted television. Lovely pool area that's so inviting. Really friendly reception when we arrived. Provided lots of local information. I very highly rate this motel and will definitely stay here again.

I was involved in organising a weekend reunion for a bunch of old coursemates from way back. People were coming from interstate & overseas. McLaren Vale Motel & Apartments was our choice for accommodation, & we were delighted. The staff are fantastic. Very helpful with all the logistics of setting up a gathering. Great choice of rooms for various sized groups. Easy walking to attractions. Comfortable and clean accommodation. All our group agreed we found a real winner!
