Very good

The motel units are of the older style, but we found it quiet (very important), clean and two singles pushed together suits me fine, as after 50 years together, it's no issue as for some. The room is too spacious for two, but if the lounge folds out to a bed, very roomy. It's out of the town area, but walkable for us. The grounds are beautiful if covered with quirky geese and their feathers and droppings and only the mornings at sunrise to the chorus of galahs - very nice rural greeting. The building design is old, but I found it did not smell old or musty, carpets looked renewed, tiles in the bath show cracking but nothing worse than I've seen in a modern rental apartment in Tanunda. My couple of annoyances - I dislike plastic kettles and in this age when health and environment are a concern, I can only hope Serafino accommodation will gradually replace plastic kettles with stainless steel ones. The crockery and cutlery provided to make a simple cereal breakfast were adequate if mismatched, but no microwave to heat anything. A minor hiccup in our road trip after having microwave ovens in all accommodation. A espresso pod coffee maker is provided, but a microwave is of more use to us. Overall it was a comfortable night's sleep and would stay again. The complimentary wine tasting was thoughtful and enjoyed by all. The hatted restaurant unfortunately was not open on the night we stayed.
