Great budget-friendly place to stay. The rooms are very clean and well set up. The BBQ area is awesome with a quality BBQ and alfresco area to enjoy a meal. This is our second time here and will be back for a third. We booked the 2 room which can accommodate 7 adults!

Cameron de Jong

The McLaren Vale Motel and Apartments was large and well located in McLaren Vale. The rooms were a good size and clean and well equipped. The grounds were well maintained and pleasant, and overall this was a good place to stay in McLaren Vale. Staff were friendly and cooperative.

Robin G

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.

Mark Williams

We were highly impressed with our king room, which exceeded our expectations. With the words Motel and Apartment, I was only expecting a motel-type room, but this was significantly larger with a stocked bar fridge, reasonably priced, together with cutlery, a toaster, microwave, and an excellent-sized shower and separate toilet.

Phil Sam

Absolutely amazing service. Our Christmas party was amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Louis Berglez
