The gardens were full of weeds and overgrown. The plant outside our room door infested with mould and rot. Weird stains on the dress pillows. Had to follow up after hours access.

It's a lovely position.
The shower leaked all night regardless of how tight or loose the taps were or where the shower head was positioned.

The receptionist was nice and pleasant the room was a fair bit tacky as far as condition cracked walls top of shower broken touch up paint done but not very well there was dirt marks on the back of doors and chairs just thought for the price it would’ve been a little neater in appearance etc

A lovely location and a beautiful view over the valley. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable. The outside of the building needs a little repair work but overall a very comfortable stay

An easy untroubled stay for two nights. Room was comfortable enough but is probably ready for some renovations and upgrades.Room needs more power points.( Provision being made for one more in micro wave area for jug and toaster hopefully). Overall a pleasant environment to explore the Clare area.

The position on the hillside is appealing. Was on overnight stay and we had all the amenities we needed. Was clean and we’ll presented. The rooms are ageing a little and the bathroom could do with a new toilet. Was clean but ageing.
The Clare Valley Motel is an excellent place to stay if you are wanting to enjoy all the attractions and vineyards in the Clare Valle region. It is located on the main road but is a fair distance from the town centre so a vehicle is essential.
