Guest Reviews

• Ross (9/5): - Comfortable
• Katie (10/5): - The breakfast packs
• garry (8/5): -
• Leanne (9/5): -
• Chipaura (7/5): -
• Angela (7/5): Great outback accommodation - Excellent location. Very clean and the rooms are very modern. Hot water not reliable. Housekeeping worker knocked on door at 8.30am then entered straight away before I had a chance to answer.
• Suzanne (8/5): Great stay - Great location and facilities
• Emma (5/5): Overall it done the job for the night. Do love that the hotel is right next door. - Loved the complimentry breakfast & snacks. The elephant made from the foot towel was a cute touch. The actual room itself was clean, couldn't fault the stay here. The sheets may have been washed, however there was dry blood all over the underside of the top sheet, this was gross. The bed was also ridiculously soft - not ideal for my neck. Also trying to check in was a nightmare, went to the hotel to check in and every staff member I spoke to just told me to go to a different area for someone to help.
• Steven (8/5): - Rooms clean and tidy No cooked breakfast available. Facilities look run down.
• Craig (8/5): -
• Ryan (10/5): -
• Sienna (7/5): - Easy check in/put Booking.com and the venue itself charged me the full fee. Basically paid twice. Trying to get a refund now
• John (7/5): Was surprised that I was not offered any compensation for making the room up myself. - Only one in town therefore had no competition, but the facilities were good. I found my room not prepared and was required to make the room up, also the fridge had no milk. After a very long trip it was not something I needed to do.
• Gary (10/5): I found the staff and hotel to be excellent. - Didn't have breakfast nothing Nothing
• pjvrey (10/5): Excellent value for money - Room was modern, clean and very comfortable. The small fridge and microwave, along with basic cutlery and crockery meant I didn't have to spend a huge amount to eat out. They even provided a basic breakfast pack and some snacks which was completely unexpected.
• Mark (8/5): -
• Robyn (8/5): Great location, very quiet, comfy beds, will stay again. - Excellent location, comfy beds The pool area could have been a bit tidier.
• Devine (8/5): -
• Papillo (8/5): I would happily stay again. - The room was fantastic and clean. I was very grateful that the air-conditioning was on when we arrived. The cleaner asked if there was anything else we needed, which was wonderful. We didn't need anything, but the fact she asked should be commended. I didn't like that the grounds of the motel were not maintained.
• Leanne (10/5): -
• Shannon (9/5): -
• James.r97 (9/5): - Very nice Kids running up and down infront of up stair rooms at 11.30pm
• Julie (7/5): -
• Jasmine (8/5): -
• Robert (10/5): A relaxing place to stay after a hard drive on a destroyed Borefield Road! - Fantastic swimming pool and the pub it's attached to is really very nice. The inclusion of a breakfast was a real surprise. The cleaning staff also made such a fantastic effort with the towels, superb!
• George (2/5): What a disappointment, place has deteriorated would not recommend - No breakfast, Shower was a dribble bed was uncomfortable
• Kaysy (9/5): -
• Guest (8/5): - The AC was on and off, wasn’t working properly.
• Tracey (10/5): - Clean today and the pool.was a bonus Breakfast was great surprise
• Carl N Sharron (9/5): - The location was good. Had to wait quite a while to get my key from manager of bar. Room was great and comfortable not as clean as I would like, skirting boards dusty, tray with mugs on dusty. Dead insects on floor next to bed.
• Vicki (10/5): -
• Sonja (9/5): Comfortable accomodation and clean. - Not applicable Would of liked the pool to have had railings at the steps,being older found it hard to enter and exit the pool.
• Michael (8/5): -
• Andrew (9/5): - No Hot water in morning. Maybe a Hws problem.
• Yolanda (10/5): - Great room 👌 😍 Check in was lengthy
• Patrick (8/5): -
• Diane (10/5): great, highly reccomend - clean and comfortable no coffee in room
• Ally (5/5): Expensive - There was no BBQ after me messaging the nightcap Roxby Downs & being told yes we have an accessible BBQ. So down to the lion park we go as we had meat ready to cook. We call the hotel so there is only the staff at the tavern to speak to. We are told at that point the BBQ is in the bbq area. We never found the bbq area 😩 next the fridge won’t fit jack 👎in it. Then it freezed up as I had too much in it. In the dilemma trying to find the barbecue, we locked herself out. We then went to the Tavern as it was nobody on reception as when we turned up we get a new key no 1 had still seen a barbecue. Well next morning our key doesn’t work so back over to the tavern. This was a Friday no 1 in reception for the whole 4 days. We get our new key this time for our entire stay. On the 3 day I finally see a cleaner not seen at all for the pasted days. Get new towel was going out so chuck them in our room. Both were not clean, or the bath mat. Ask for bin bags was given some. So I forgot that we need toilet paper 😂 So back to Woolies we went. I was told twice by bar staff I wasn’t there job. Every year we go to see the grandkids around this time. Already booked at the Discovery Park for 2026 Very disappointed The staff & cleanliness there just wasn’t any
• Gary (10/5): it was great! - everything nothing
• Andrew (9/5): -
• Tina (5/5): Disappointing - Convenience for the reason staying there Room was booked 2 months prior key tag wasn’t ready had to wait 30 mins for that no staff no open doors for the office Very poor set up and disappointing
• Stephen (8/5): Good clean room with a comfy bed. - It is in a very good location with everything close. There was only a few people in the motel for the night, they could have spaced us a bit further apart as we could hear the person above us walking around in their room.
• Renee (10/5): Great - I liked everything about this hotel. It was a lovely place to stay.
• Amber lee (10/5): -
• Kerri-Lea (8/5): -
• Justin (10/5): Great staff and pool - Access to local resources No complaints
• Justin (10/5): -
• Guest (4/5): disorganised, dirtry and inconsistent - day 1 - 2 towels, day 2 only 1, no face washer til day 4.... - the bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was good i specifically requested a downstairs room due to a disability limiting my mobility, which was approved in my email request. when i arrived i was given an upstairs room. when i went to discuss this at the tavern across the road, i was told there were no other rooms available. i then told them about my disability and that i had been notified that my request was noted and approved, they then spent 25 mins trying to find me another room. i was given the second room key, and when i went in to the room, it had someone elses items in it - food was in the fridge, a vape and sunglasses was on the bench, the shower had toiletries in it, and the toilet seat was covered in urine. i then had to go back to the tavern AGAIN to advise of this, and the gentlemen then had to go over to the rooms personally and had to go in to each room to find one that wasn't occupied. he came back with personal items in his hands from what i assume was my third room, and told me the room was now ready. when i went back for the fourth time to use the key he had given me, it did not work. i called this time, because by this point my disability was preventing me from walking back AGAIN - and requested that he walk over to me to give me the right key. overall, this whole process added an extra hour and a half to my already long drive day. as an organisation, we travel regularly for work, and we will no longer be using The Nightcap as our preferred accommodation booking due to this debacle. it was unacceptable to have been provided an upstairs room when it was specifically requested and approved due to medical reasons, and then been given a dirty used room key, and then when a replacement was provided, it wasn't the correct key - it was almost embarrassing to be sitting in your dining room for so long waiting for someone to work out what had happened. extremely unprofessional and so disorganised. also - the amenities were inconsistent - one day i got a face washer, the other day i didn't.

• Guest (8/5): -
• Guest (7/5): I would recommend and I would stay again. - The breakfast was appreciated. The room clean and modern. The sliding door was unlocked when we got there, which thankfully we noticed prior to leaving our belongings in the room. The shower door leaked water everywhere and we had to mop up with the towels. The hand basin drain stunk terribly. The reception was closed and we had to check in at the pub across the road.
• Guest (8/5): Would recommend this motel to all travellers 🧳 - Location, cleanliness and big pool. Continental breakfast included in a little breakfast pack was an unexpected bonus. The check in process was confusing- no one on reception, you had to go over the road to a Club / Pub and wait for a serving staff member to be available from serving drinks etc… to check in.
• Jessica (2/5): Unclean Rooms - Looks nice The room wasnt clean. The bed wasn't made, there were no clean towels - the only towels were in a crumple on the bathroom floor and the bins weren't emptied. Luckily I had my own pillows and bedding the car and used that over the top of the bed. I have emailed the motel 4 days ago about the situation and are yet to get a reply.
• Stevie (10/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): -

• Guest (10/5): - Excellent room and location
• Julie (10/5): Best stay and value for money on our trip. - The facilities were exceptional. The room had been redecorated and was very comfortable. Amazingly comfortable bed. Enough inclusions to make our own breakfast. Free washing facilities. Central location. Nothing.
• Guest (8/5): -
• David (10/5): - Great location for a place in the middle of no where excellent would stay again
• Peirce (9/5): Good spot to stop on our road trip, good access to the Club, and nearby shops/restaurant - Good room, great pool Only one chair in the room - needs two or three (beds available for three people)
• brown (9/5): We had a peaceful & relaxing stay. Pool & surroundings were beautiful. Staff were friendly. - We had a peaceful & relaxing stay. Room was clean & tidy, with a modern up to date feel to it. Pool & surroundings were beautiful. Staff were friendly. Will recomend to friends & family. Great place for a function. One side of bed was soft but we switched sides & slept like logs.
• Christopher J F (6/5): - Outside noise on both nights at 2.30am from local teens. Piles of laundry outside in large square tubs close to our room. Shopping trolleys left in carpark

• Neil (10/5): - Very friendly people
• Hitchcock (10/5): -
• Stacey (7/5): - A very nice motel considering how remote roxby downs is. It wasn't as clean as it could have been.
• Anonymous (8/5): Good central location.Room was clean and looked freshly renovated. A pleasant stay except for the po - A good tidy up a round the pool area is needed . It’s very uninviting with rubbish bins over flowing and paper and food containers strewn throughout the garden beds.This is attracting birds and their droppings making the area very unattractive and untidy.
• Anonymous (10/5): comfortable and lovely staff - my room had a water issue and Richard came and helped out immediately. He was very patient and helpful . they unable to fix the problem so he managed to change my room. Nice to know even if there is a problem they can rectify it with a smile nothing

• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Stephen (8/5): No worries - Staff very friendly and helpful
• Michelle (8/5): Very good -
• Rodney (6/5): - The lady who was in reception when we arrived went above and beyond to help More than we can say for the managerial staff who weren’t interested in the problem issues
• Chris (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (10/5): I would definitely return given the opportunity. - Staff were very helpful and polite. Facilities and outlook from room were very pleasant
• Elaine (10/5): Great central place to stay in Roxby downs - Great place to stay, and very central to everything. The tavern is next door for great nightly meals and sports bar is there too. We had ‘tire’ problems ( blew two in one day, just before we got there) and needed to check out late the next day, while waiting on repairs. The receptionist let us use our room until our tires were repaired, which was beyond wonderful, thank you. Nothing, all was fabulous
• Geoff (7/5): Second time I've stayed, and I think it's a lovely place. - Only cereal available in room. The only thing that could improve are the shower heads. Not a lot of pressure I prefer more stronger showers.
• Neal (7/5): Good - Bed was comfortable It looked clean, but the microwave was dirty. The fridge freezer was frozen over and froze anything we put in the fridge. In the bathroom above the shower were cobwebs that had not been cleaned for quite awhile
• Duncan (10/5): - Great value for money, clean and organised. Even has cutlery and limited crockery plus a microwave. Perfect road stop overnighter. Worth it.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Lyndal (8/5): Very good -
• Stokes (8/5): The exterior looks a bit boring but the quality of the room was a nice surprise. - The room was very nice and looked as if it has been upgraded in recent times. It was comfortable. The supermarket was about 3 minutes walk away. There were more television channels available than in most places in South Australia. It was quiet. Everything was fine.
• Jamie (9/5): Superb -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Neil (8/5): Very good - Location The person next to my rooms snoring
