I absolutely love staying here.
I stay here really often and all the rooms are beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Perfect quiet location and beautiful gardens and the food is great too.

The pool is heated, great for taking the kids or even just a romantic night away!

I would give 5 stars however, Upon booking you are told preauthorisation return will take between 3-5 businness days to return into your account - if you use your card. More than once, i've actually had to call up 10 days later to follow this up, and there are a couple of ladies at reception who aren't very polite at all.

I recommend authorising the extra 150 (250 total) in CASH for the bond to avoid this problem and having to converse with rude and dismissive staff.

I especially want to acknowledge one of the front of house staff, Michael, as he is so very kind and polite, he makes me feel super comfortable upon making bookings as he explains everything very well!
He also doesn't make you feel inferior and uncomfortable like a couple of the other ladies at reception.

Staff were friendly.
But no where did it say that there is $100 bond on the room. Refundable up to 10 days later.
Spa jets definately need to be sanitised after every stay.
Cleaners need to move furniture to vacuum properly.
Bed was ok. Linen was clean.

Such a cute little place. Rooms are quite spacious but the bathroom could do with an update. Room service breakfast was delicious. Convenient location to hotels and supermarkets etc

We had a great stay at the winery, it is very convenient to all amenities with shops that are very close.
It has great function rooms for weddings, parties or any event you may like to have.
The Restaurant was nice and all the food we had was great, the chefs were really good.
The staff were excellent and extremely accommodating to our needs and really friendly, it was a pleasure to get to know them.
I would definitely return and would recommend it highly, especially for adults.

Stay here semi-regularly. Every few weeks or monthly.
Some rooms can definitely do with an upgrade / repair. Damp bubbling the paint on bathroom walls. Stained and chipped bathtubs. Chipped and damaged furniture.

But.... It's $100 a night. So for Adelaide, you're getting what you pay for.

A cosy little hotel and restaurant, well maintained, nice atmosphere and a small lake with lovely wildlife just a short walk from your room! They hold weddings and look to have the ability to host other important occasions too! Price is really good off-peak.

Great value for money . Spacious room with huge bed and very clean . A lil tired otherwise would have been a 5. Staff very nice and meals in the restaurant were both tasty and hot . Short Walking distance to many facilities as well - would stay again

Stayed for a few days. Place is very old and tired, rooms need attention. Maintenance is sorely missing. We were annoyed by local teens knocking on doors and windows which scared the wife.
On the other hand the restaurant food was good and the rooms were serviced and clean.
With a bit of TLC Could be nice

Looked promising and nice looking venue at first glance but food very ordinary and unimaginative. No promised potato gratin and broccolini with steak and no pickled bean sprouts and cucumber ribbons with vegetarian meal or crispy squid. Most meals served with very basic salad garnish and fries. Thai green curry looked dry. Very disappointing.

Room was clean and well presented.
Staff were friendly and provided great service 10/10.
Good value stay.
Reading some reviews before I arrived had me a little nervous, but I was happy to be proven wrong. Thanks ??'?

Very disappointed with our lunch today. We arrived at the restaurant at 11.55 and were the only people there at that stage. The waitress informed us that they Roast of the day and Risotto dish was already sold out!. We ordered soup of the day which was pumpkin. It was the colour of pumpkin soup, but tasted like warm water. Very disappointed.
Also the acoustics are really poor. We could not hear each other speak, over the sound of other patrons talking.
Very disappointed as we were looking forward to the first visit after the renovations.
Certainly wouldn't recommend.

Stayed there over the long weekend. The rooms were fine, a bit outdated but fine. Restaurant also fine, nothing to brag about. We had several rooms as our family was all there together. On the first day of being there we had just left and were out when I received a call from my sister (staying a few doors down) letting me know that the couch that was in my room was being removed and on the grass in front of the room, all my stuff that was on the couch had been moved and the door was wide open. I was concerned as to why this was happening as no one had mentioned anything to us. We had all of our belongings on the couch, our daughters clothes, our clothes, everything... and they had moved it all to get the couch out. Apparently they needed the sofa for another room and I was supposed to be advised this was happening, clearly I wasn't. When I called to ask why someone was removing the couch and in the process touching all our stuff the lady on the phone was short and unhelpful. Didn't offer any apology or explanation, just said "housekeeping should've told you, we needed it in another room". For this reason, we wont ever return. The lack of customer service was not great and it honestly put a sour note on our weekend away.

Room 104 is like a dungeon. The one window looked out to a stair well. It was smelly, had heaps of mosquitoes, pretty sure it backed onto the kitchen because at 6.30am was woken by dishes and other kitchen noise. The wifi is really bad, and the room 104 had poor coverage. The bathroom was old and dingy, the pond had a shopping trolley in it and was unkempt in general.
I was told that $100 was to be "on hold" as a bond, but not deducted. This was untrue, it is taken from your account, and when I queried the female staff member on checkout, she argued that it was not taken, even when I offered proof. So I called my bank on Monday, and guess what, it was deducted, yet to be returned as I write. So to you, the unprofessional argumentative front counter thing, get your facts right! Don't stay here.. lots better places around.

Meal was terrible. Ordered the porterhouse steak medium rare, steak was very much well done. Secondly menu says served with potato gratin and steamed broccoli, it came with chips & salad. I barely ate much of it yet waitress collected meals and didn't say a word...good staff should recognise something is amiss if the meal wasn't touched. I will not be coming back.

Stayed here on a stop over through Adelaide heading over east. Beds are large decent amount of parking and some of the rooms have spas in them, area is quiet and peaceful, think there is pool but I didn't notice. Overall good stay.

I've watched this place set in a beautiful spot turn into a dive, once considered 5 stars I now think 3 is generous, restaurant used to be top notch now, no comment, rooms well spa was uncleaned and had a ring you could use if drowning, the bed was filthy and all night we could hear things moving underneath, I can't even begin to imagine what was under there. We complained oh did we complain yet, you would think we were the ones who had git drunk and smashed up the place, on reflection we should have! Wedding venue still seems ok however the rooms should be free for the homeless who would likely decline for a comfy spot under a train platform. PS The swimming pool was just plain wrong and offered a lovely selection of ringing wet towels!!

Was a little disappointed in our stay this week, felt like a fool for believing the pictures and information on thier site. When we checked in the it was hard to find reception, the staff were nice enough but we were handed the key and pointed in the direction of the room. No information given about the accommodation or the venue. The restaurant was closed obviously that was beyond their control with 'flood damage'. The Queen spa room was very below average, no table and only 1 chair. Very outdated and not worth the price per night. After the first night the groundsman started to cover the gardens in fertilizer which had a really strong bad smell which caused headaches and made us feel sick. Overall it was the saddest part of Holiday and we even cut it short due to feeling too sick to stay any longer. When we called reception to let them know we would be checking out a day early they weren't very friendly anymore. I wouldn't recommend this place for accommodation and the grounds are very outdated and overgrown the pond was looking rather terrible. Not a backdrop I would like for a wedding either. I really hope the owners and management can really see how much potential this place has, and improve it before they lose it.

Lovely rooms, booked at night and grateful we could check in late. Room was big and kept clean. Not the most Modern place, but the rooms are cheap, $130 a night.
Didn't get to try out the restaurant unfortunately. Could do with a bit more options for vegans but thankful there was some options, rather than none.

We enjoyed our stay.
The gardens and surrounds are lovely and well kept. The staff are all very friendly. We both enjoyed our meal in the restaurant and thought the prices were very reasonable. We were pleasantly surprised by the quietness in the rooms, given it is near a main road we heard very little traffic noise.
Yes, there are a features that are starting to look a little tired, but there is alot of character. Overall the room was presented very neatly and clean.

Our stay at St Francis Winery hotel was quite pleasant. It's nicely designed, in a picturesque location at Old Reynella. I think it's become more of a wedding venue with accommodation than anything.
You can get rooms any day but the restaurant and room service is only Wednesday to Saturday. While there is double glazing on the windows facing the busy South Road the other side gets reflected traffic noise.
The noise levels vary from room to room.
But the staff are thoughtful enough to space out the guests where possible so you aren't bothered by neighbouring rooms.
We didn't eat there this time but the menu is fairly standard pub fare.
There's a good hotel and Chinese restaurant nearby, as well as a small shopping mall with a Foodland supermarket, chemist and hairdresser.
We chose it because of the handy location, but the room rates are pretty reasonable too.

One bedroom apartment -
I've never been catfished by a hotel before tonight. We booked in for 2 nights. We checked in, admires the grounds and commented on how cute, walked in and walked right back out. These people have no right to change in excess of $180 per night. There are motels for $60 in roadhouses that have less suspicious stains than this one. The appliances and beds needed to stay in the 80s where it all belongs. I was terrified to walk barefoot on the carpet let alone lay in the bed, even fully clothed. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else, far far away from here. The staff were super lovely and understanding and didn't seem surprised that we walked back to reception with our bags in hand. This place is crying for some paint, a good clean -ANYTHING. To the owners, do yourselves a favour and book into a hotel of the same price and learn what the industry standard is for this price point before you set about charging people any money at all. Your hotel needs a serious update or a drastically lower cost involved. Wish we could get a refund for the petrol used in getting there and into a new hotel literally anywhere away from here. No way I was putting our baby down on anything in this place

Always thought booking direct was cheaper way to go and helped out property staying at. Ring direct $150 online $140 booking.com $116 for exactly the same room. Standard queen room very standard. No table only 1 chair very old and outdated. However, the staff were excellent as was the meal. Would I stay there again - probably not.

WORST experience EVER
What can we say. CLEANING was so bad We told them to stop cleaning the room, so we could do it. After some apologies we allowed them back in. Don't know why we did. Nothing improved.
Had to go to the office every day to ask for Towels or coffee or milk.
Bed was so uncomfortable we sat up in bed all night. Mattress springs stuck in our back all night.
Cheap furniture that we thought would break if we sat on it. Likely they would charge us for the experience.
Floor waste has not been cleaned for years. Grossed us out every time we sat on the toilet. Toilet seat need's throwing away. Curtain has holes- probably cigarette burns.
There was a flood light pointing directly into our bedroom window.
Why did we book here.
Stay away!!!!!!!!!!

Overpriced no table in the room for the area its not as expected, cupboards are all worn and small bed is old and something cheap from Ikea supposed to be a luxury grade room, not luxury on my part. I've stayed in many hotel room's. I've been to Elizabeth motor in paid less and had a bigger bed bigger spa and much better room and accommodation the bathroom was the size of the bedroom compared to this. Sorry but I'm not a fan. For the price of this room I'm very disappointed no bar fridge was even in the room nor was there any water or glasses.

Just wanted a night away for this trip so went with a no frills cheap room down south. We went with the cheapest we could find this time so while I will review the bad stuff first, we were still happy with our stay here. There were certainly no frills in the room. Old cupboards that didn't close squarely, carpet that looks like it was fitted by a kid, the front door was so hard to close and the shower would lose hot water every couple of minutes. The good stuff made it worth it and wasn't actually in the room but was outside. The little square they have in the middle of the hotel was so cool. Providing grass, seats and shade under the big trees has created a real community feel for the place. We sat down and just talked about the character of the building for ages. There was a wedding going on next door and even though they were close, the noise was still muted enough that it was not an issue at all.

Charming leafy setting amongst large plane trees and native birdlife. Large tranquil pond and wetland area is home to various species of ducks, water birds and thousands of frogs. Wonderful biodiversity. Tidy, mostly clean room good for a night's stay but in need of some upgrading. Clean linen and modern bathroom. Double bed is on coasters and spring mattress of average quality. Quiet room with double glazed windows which blocks out noise from main road. Indoor swimming pool. Friendly efficient staff. Close to supermarket and restaurants. Overall good value.

Thought they had lovely staff, great rates, just needs the rooms to have an upgrade but will never go there again as were never told we could pay bond in cash and the bank and them are blaming each other for not releasing our bond. Staff swearing whilst setting up in the next room on check in and other guest were complaining of ants in their room.
WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN

The grounds were lovely. The room was basic but what we needed for a short stay. If you are not familiar with the area there was nothing in the room to assist visitors. We were at the top of stairs so heard people walking past but apart from that it was quiet. The shower was awful and the water would either be scolding or freezing the pressure was awful.

Rooms were not overly clean, tile fell off next to the toilet, rooms very outdated and looked very dowdy. No minibar as stated. Paid $165 for a queen bed and a sofa bed sofa bed only had a very light rug no quilt so was cold. Will not be staying again. Pity the rooms wernt as lovely as the surrounds.

Indoor outdoor clean and tidy plenty of shade and a large pond.
Have enjoyed a Wedding and attended a Wake here and it's a very pleasant setting.
