Guest Reviews

• Marnie (10/5): Great overnight stay - Very convenient, well equipped and great bed!
• Rosenberg (4/5): I will take my caravan next time - close to nice park for a walk by the sea. Kettle did not work. fan was so dusty I wasn't game to turn it on through fear of dust going everywhere. I was greeted by a sign and a phone number with a person telling me the combination to my room
• Johnson (7/5): -
• SIMRAN (10/5): - Everything was nice, neat and clean.
• Hillebrand (8/5): - Set out of unit was spacious , very comfortable beds lovely hotel shower Spiky plant next to stairs
• noeline (6/5): - What breakfast
• Angie (2/5): Would not recommend! - Effort had been made to improve the aesthetics; owner was helpful with WiFi issues. Lack of privacy (cleaner walked past our private courtyard whilst I was standing naked in full view; curtains in the lounge area did not meet in the middle; floor was very dirty, had to wash my feet after walking barefoot around the unit; the spare rolls of toilet paper were sitting in a puddle of water, we had to make do with 1 roll of toilet paper for entire stay
• Barbara (9/5): -
• Lucas (6/5): -
• Elaine (7/5): This motel was very nice to stay at. Loved the bed. Wished I could take it home. Overall good. - No breakfast offered. Perhaps some dihwashing things.
• Sherrie (4/5): Let’s just say I wouldn’t recommend it to any of my friends. - The location and the size of the bathroom. How unclean it was really put me off. The bathroom had bits of hair and soap scam still on the tiles.
• kerri (8/5): -
• kerri (9/5): Good value for money - Privacy No bbq area
• Julie (4/5): -
• Douglas (9/5): - Nice quiet location...
• karin (8/5): Comfortable and clean - Great Host..very helpful..thanks All good
• Mary (8/5): Great value for money, quiet location, comfortable room, efficient system of check in. - Lovely little apartment type room Tv remote in lounge didn’t work, we used the bedroom one. Also noticed a bar of soap balanced on shower partition, obviously not seen by cleaners!
• Sujeeva (7/5): -
• Rosario (3/5): Terrible - It was dirty, the lights didn't turn on and the shower had little pressure and regulated the temperature badly
• Lee C (8/5): - I stayed in room 1 which seemed bigger than yhe other rooms. Well appointed and comfortable. No internet so perhaps a TV that one could mirror to would be a good idea.l
• Airton (4/5): -
• Jacqui (9/5): Tumby visit - Spacious and comfortable. Great price and location. Unfortunately there was a small plumbing issue and it was scheduled to be fixed. The manager was kind enough to give me a towel for the floor.
• Greg (8/5): -
• Tanta (5/5): needs maintenance - Nice quiet area. It would have been nice to have a tea towel and washing up liquid for the plates, It would have been nice to have a mop and bucket as I spilt some water on the main room floor and had to use a bath towel to wipe up the water under the table and when I did the towel had loads of dirt on it (the floor looked clean but wasn’t). The bedroom door did not shut properly nor the flyscreen door.
• Mark (8/5): Clean comfortable -
• Mark (10/5): -
• Yan (10/5): - Fast service to solve problem
• Melanie (2/5): - Was a nice out if the way spot It was dirty. Like it hadn't been cleaned for a while and the floors definitely hadnt been washed. Dusty and musky smelling. Cobwebs in corners, behind the bin and where the blind cords were. The was a coffee cup with coffee stain in it so obviously just been rinsed and not washed. The dining and lounge furniture was cheap outdoor furniture and extremely uncomfortable. The comfy thing was the bed.
• Heather (5/5): - Very noisy late at night from either another unit or house behind
• Jason (7/5): recommend if your looking for a nice affordable place to stay - great nights sleep, easy in and out.
• Evonne (5/5): Advertised pics of bed didn't reflect our room, shower really needs some attention -
• Melissa (3/5): - Good use of space, TVs in each room. Bathroom floor was dirty, sheets had hairs in it, didn't appear to have been changed/cleaned. Outdoor furniture was being used as a lounge, not comfortable.
• Margaret (9/5): -
• Pier (8/5): - Ruime komplete kamer op rustige lokatie. De hele avond vloog er een vliegtuig laag over.
• kim (4/5): -
• kim (4/5): -
• Langley (5/5): - Smoke alarm batteries were dead and bath rails aren't mounted on the wall
• Jayne (5/5): -
• Davide (7/5): -
• Aung (9/5): -
• Stevens (8/5): -
• Annie (9/5): -
• Tamara (8/5): - Price, room size Small towels, lounge not super comfortable but ok
• Matt (7/5): Comfortable -
• Davey (9/5): - Lovely quiet, clean, value for money
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Wesley (10/5): -
• Kelly (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (10/5): A good value, spacious motel room that is not too far from the jetty, beach and town centre. - Spacious rooms. Sufficient amenities for my needs. There was a large TV in the sitting room/kitchen area and one in the bedroom. The rooms were clean and there were nice summer/tropical themed pictures on the wall. The owner had given all the necessary info to access the room via text message for a late arrival. As I arrived after dark, I appreciated the motel sign being highly visible and lit. There were info on different food outlets which was once again helpful for an arrival after dark. The sink in the ensuite was the source of water and was perhaps a bit distant from the kitchen. Not a problem though. The outside of the front door was quite dusty.
• Rob (5/5): Passable - Price.. clean sheets No washing liquid to do your dishes. Kettle full of white scaly debris required a decent scrub to use.
• Ivan (10/5): - Had everything I needed and plenty of space.
• Holly (7/5): Quiet and comfortable - The linen was so soft and divine! A treat to have 2 bathrooms one each. . A kitchen sink would have been welcome in the kitchenette to do dishes
• Kevin (2/5): Cannot even get the cleaning done correctly - Accommodated dogs Run down and very dirty pictures supplied Cannot use toilet after using shower as it is flooded with water this is a safety concern You cannot fill the kettle or wash the plates as no sink or water supply easily available this is a hygiene concern How can a new owner or manager take over a motel and have less facilities than before ? Wish I’d looked at previous reviews as many other people have the same issues if you corrected the simple ones such as cleaning I’m sure your occupancy would increase
• Toni (5/5): Get what you pay for - Price was right for what you got, and bed was comfortable. Carpark to start with was a broken concrete spot under some trees out the front. The room was cold and hard to heat. Had to wash the dishes in a plastic basin. Whole place looked old and tired. Book on display had a WIFI security code, but it didn't work. After looking at the information online, free WIFI was not provided.
• F (1/5): Don’t stay here. - There was a bed and a jug and a toaster. The manager/owner provided clear instructions about accessing the room. Everything. The towels were old and seemed damp. There was no opening window in the bedroom or bathroom. The only opening window couldn’t be used because of the rotting sill. The couch was dirty, there was a weird smell in the bedroom and bathroom. The handbasin was dirty. The small outdoor sitting area was very dirty too. I could go on.
• Griffiths (7/5): Good - Very Private, no one was there, the room was comfortable, Oh dear what a sad pool,, was a bit concerned about the back door,of the unit, just went through to the office, bit odd really, I gave the very dry garden a water,. Anyway it helped in an emergency booking, 👍
• Dane (9/5): Superb - Was eerily quiet as no noise after 9pm or before 8am. Unusual for a city boy. All good
• Dane (9/5): Superb -
• Charitha (9/5): Superb - Spacious apartment, really good value for money
• Alesha (10/5): Quiet and comfortable for an overnight stay - Very clean and tidy motel. It had everything we needed for a quick overnight quiet and comfortable stay! Easy self-check in, too, and great location close to the coastline. Only constructive comment would be the floors felt slippery and sticky in places, like too much cleaning product was used.
• Tori (6/5): A roof over your head - The room didn’t come with a sink for drinking water, which was fine, but the water jug provided was only 1/4 full. Mould growing in shower
• Jodie (7/5): Tips - We liked that the attendant was close and accessible.Being able to speak to a human was great. Kelly That the chair didn't recline,and was uncomfortable. The kettle's are so dated,and NEED replacing.No shelf for items in the bathroom,too limited.No biscuits with tea and coffee.Gardening needed doing.
• Jie (10/5): I had a lovely stay in the motel! Got everything I need and good location beside the mangrove walk - Clean and tidy Water kattle has scale and needs a replacement
• Gary (7/5): Good -
• Samantha (8/5): Very good -
• Prohaska (6/5): I think the price is a bit too much for what you get - Not having a kitchen to wash things properly or even a shared kitchen would help. The Airconditioner didn’t get to the bedroom. 2 seat for a room that could sleep 3 and the mattresses where like they where from 2nd hand shops. The owner was helpful and the grounds keeper was too. I didn’t realize it wasn’t walking distance to the pubs
• Melinda (8/5): Very good -
• Matt (8/5): Very good -
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Beryl (10/5): Relaxing - Lovely Nothing
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Angelique (7/5): Good - Quiet clean and tidy and able to enjoy morning walks Needs to be service while staying for more than a day. I ended up with alot of rubbish and no where to put it. Found reception area never open.
• Josephine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angelique (10/5): Great experience - Love to walk around the area and quiet area. Probably would have liked to have a clean through after a couple of days as my bin is full.
• Narrelle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robyn (9/5): Superb -
• Damon (4/5): - Walls are so thin the person snoring in the next room kept me awake all night!
• Robyn (8/5): Clean and good value. Booking process simple - Comfortable and well priced. Good sized room. mangrove walk across road was interesting. The booking process was simple with a key in a coded box. No window in bedroom. Had to drive to get back into town
• Peter (5/5): Passable - Kettle had old noodles in it. Room smelt of Mould from roof leak Bathroom dirty
• Heiki (8/5): Very good -
• Warren (10/5): - Friendly host, very clean comfortable room.
• Eric (10/5): - Very quiet and comfortable
• Ian (8/5): all good - all good Couldn't find tv remote
• Beaumont (8/5): Very good - Considering I travelled down with an extra person to help with driving, the staff himself was very friendly and helpful to assisting with our stay.
• Heiki (9/5): Superb -
• Lisa (10/5): Excellent stay - Bed and pillows were comfy, lovely hot water, clean, had everything I needed for stay - microwave, cutlery, fridge, quiet location. Travelled with my dog and we were made to feel very welcome Nothing Pool is not working but you have the beautiful sea. Just 5 mins away is the most amazing drive on beach with no one there
• Tadeusz (6/5): Pleasant -
• Kate (8/5): Very good - The location was good as was the room size. Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the crockery, cutlery and bathroom were not clean. The tea towel that was in our room had clearly been used previously and not washed. The plates were greasy 🤢
• George (2/5): Even if desperate don't go here - Available at short notice Soap scum all over the shower area and sink, crackers and crumbs on the one couch (and in it) with disgustingly stained arm tests, pubic hair or beard hair on and around the bed, and lumpy seen-better-days-20-yrs-ago mattress. Paid for 2 night, left after one and no answer from owner when messaged him
• Lisa (1/5): Won't be back - There was a good colony of ants on the hand rail.... Prior guests pubes in the bed
• Maarti88 (7/5): Eyre peninsula couple new year trip w dog - Easy self checking, great communication via text and email, non contact. Loved the lay out and the size of the motel room. Style and comfort were homey. Location was great for us. Not too far from national parks and pt lincoln and other places in the peninsula. Great value for price. Heard noises from all 3 neighbour motel rooms at times. Not sparking clean if someone loves overly clean stuff. We travelled w our dog so it was fine for us tho.
• Michael (4/5): Not worth the stay/coin! - Beds were ok/comfortable. We also liked the big screen tv. Place is rundown and needs some profits to flow back into tlc/ feels like staying in a garage sleep out sadly! Certainly not a proper motel inside or outside!
• Aung (9/5): It was a nice stay and would recommend it to others. - The property was clean and the room was also very big. There wasn’t a specific parking for our car.
• Angela (8/5): Very good -
• Barry (10/5): Exceptional - Room was excellent, staff were excellent, location was excellent. All excellent 👌 OK now let's see if this gets through the net!! Booking.com charged me twice for this stay and then told me to contact the motel, having spoken to the Tumby manager I know 100% it was a Booking.com mistake! Having no other way of giving Booking.com negative feedback I'm trying this root. If successful they can put this feedback in there Dutch bong and smoke it!! Nothing 🙃
• Barry (9/5): Superb - Good location, clean and tidy, all nessacery asentals and very helpful management! NOTHING TO DO WITH TUMBY BAY MOTEL ITSELF - But Booking.com have changed me twice for my (very enjoyable) stay!! This is 100% not Tumby Bay Motel's fault, although booking.com are telling me it is! I doubt this feedback will ever be seen, but if it is good! It's impossible to leave Booking.com negative feedback - so put this in your bong and smoke it you Dutch rip off merchants!!
• Gill (4/5): Disappointing - The beds were great! I felt the rooms were not very clean, especially the bathroom. Inside the fridge was disgusting. Marks on the walls. Dishes were dirty. Dust over benches. Just didn't feel very clean! One light didn't work above bed.
• Smith (2/5): Crap away from the town dirty smelly over priced rip off - Property very neglected, not clean enough, has a pool they to lazy to clean, has plants growing out there gutters, big holes in the walls with a hanging rug hiding it, sticky floors used dirty water to clean with, dishes was dirty, bedroom smelt of dogs and old, hairs in the bed, very very disappointed indeed, and for that price shocking Everything
• Danny (5/5): Passable -
• Matthew (8/5): Best Motel in Tumby - Very comfortable, value for money
