We booked online as the photo of motel & description sounded ok. On arriving was shown the room which cost $122.32 via booking site. Shower was dirty, spiders on floor near toilet and bed from the 1950’s Returned key to key box and left the property. Wish that I could cancel credit card payment.

No potable or drinking water available in Kaniva. Water has a strong smell of sulphur and unpleasant to shower in.

Overnight stay
The hotel manager was very accommodating and friendly. The accommodation on the other hand needs some TLC. Being an older motel there is obvious signs of wear and tear but there were some things that had nothing to do with the age of the motel that could be improved. The bedsheets could do with an upgrade. They were bit stained from being used so often and could be replaced. The tap water isn’t suitable for drinking and although distilled water is provided in bottles, bottled water from the supermarket might be a healthier more suitable option. Lastly, I’m not to sure when our room was cleaned last, but the rubbish bin had not been emptied before we occupied the room. Not a big deal, but it does make you wonder what other shortcuts were made when the room was prepared for the next customer.

Wonderful staff! We actually had a booking to stay the previous night, however had a family emergency that kept us in Melbourne 1 extra day. I contacted the motel & spoke to The manager Chris. She was so lovely & helpful, changed our arrival date so we weren’t out of pocket. The place was clean and foxtel in the room was a plus to occupy kids. Nice Walking distance to the fauna wildlife park & plenty of sheep nearby to take some snaps.

Chris went out of her way to stay up for us when we contacted her saying we had been delayed and would not be arriving til around 9pm. She upgraded our room when we arrived; and made us feel welcome by her friendly hospitality and providing us with a hearty breakfast to send us on our way. A wonderful person made our experience very memeorable! Thank you Chris

Small and clearly old, it nevertheless was clean and had everything I needed for the one night stay. The main drawback was that the unit faced the highway to Adelaide and you heard all the trucks all night.
