Lets start with the very limited good. The rooms are a good size and The grounds are well looked after. Unfortunately, that’s where it ends. The rooms are very old and dated, the bathroom is something from the 70’s and is in dire need of a refurb. You can also hear everything going on in the rooms either side of you As far as service is concerned that is extremely bad. We had a group of 32 booked in for a wedding. We had arranged for a buffet breakfast on the Sunday morning they advised they could do it at $25.00 per person. A couple of months later we were notified that it would now be $29.00 per person as the woman who had made this original agreement has now left the winery. So without a choice we agreed to the $29 per person and booked that in. A couple of weeks before our arrival we get an email saying they cannot do breakfast AT ALL anymore due to staffing issues, however held another breakfast for other wedding guests the same day we were booked in??? We also booked an Al a carte dinner for 16 people on the Friday night. On the Monday the week before our arrival we were told that there is only now an option for a 2 course set meal or a 3 course set meal costing a lot more than what we AGAIN Already agreed on. So we cancelled the dinner reservation and went to another winery down the road. When I asked to speak to the manager about all the original changes I was told that the woman who had sent the emails was the manager. So that should give you some idea of what your dealing with. We had a 2 night stay and the cleaner came on the first morning and changed the bin. THAT’S IT. Did not bother to make the bed or touch the bathroom. Overall, the service at this winery is nothing short of terrible. We will never return here and advise you to AVOID

Enjoying a winery lunch, we decided to stay on in McLaren Vale if we could find a last-minute accommodation option. We were lucky to score an executive suite at this great motel, offering a king size bed, spa and leather recliners. The motel also offers a couple of relaxing garden and deck areas, a tiny gym and a sauna. Friendly and helpful staff, close to all the Main Street attractions of the town - what more could you ask for? It's also quiet at night and has parking right outside your room.

Good value hotel, high quality service, hotel has very good chef, barista, bartender, high quality and reasonable price dinner, barista is very very friendly, offered to make us free coffee, hot chocolate And also send a variety of snacks. We asked to adjust the room, the computer was out of order, and we waited for a while. The hotel staff offered us a free dinner and told us to order whatever we wanted. It was a wonderful experience to have a good Irish band performing every Wednesday night at the hotel.

We haven't stayed in the accommodation, but we ate at the restaurant there recently. A group of friends enjoyed the Christmas In July experience at the newly opened Vik's Place Bar & Dining. Food was excellent and at $40 for two courses, it was good value for money. Vibrant atmosphere, friendly service, top quality cuisine. Highly recommended !!

Where do I start? A winery without wine three male colleagues and I on business . arrived at 7.30 pm to check in and have something to eat Check in was at the bar where the locals with their mullets and tats had made themselves comfortable on the ratty couches. We were advised to order our meals as we checked in because the kitchen was closing As we ordered, we were moved aside as the 2 barmaids on duty removed a patron who had become violent. Having completed our meal ( nothing to write home about so I won't ) we gathered our belongings from our vehicle and passing by the locals on the couch were asked with a snide giggle , if we were sharing a room I can assure you unlike the locals, we don't all sleep together. The rooms are badly maintained with paper thin walls and chipped cabinetry. Apparently hot water to the bathroom basin is an optional extra . Our arrival coincided with a Thursday night wedding ( who gets married on a Thursday?) The resulting noise from the drunk wedding guests stripping off and swimming in the pool then fist fighting each other made sleeping difficult . No breakfast available week days only weekends so it's off to Maccas before we begin our work day. After our first meal we decided to eat at the local pub, pretty good food, we'll done Crown Better nights sleep , no wedding. Breakfast ok but slow and the coffee very weak. House keeping us practically nonexistent with bedding simply pulled up over what ever is on the bed ( see photos) Breakfast the next morning was a nonevent , ”Sorry, they'll be a wait , we've run out of bacon and eggs) Off the Maccas we go again. How would I rate St Francis winery ( without wine) I wouldn't Keep driving
