Ultimate experience…read more From check -in to check-out the staff and their attention to detail is superb! Beautiful weekend getaway, luxury cottages with secluded outdoor patio, beautiful surroundings. Every attention to detail taken care of, beautiful bedding, towels, etc. Goodies in the room. And then the ultimate breakfast in bed ordered the night before from a selection of unusual and delicious items, not a standard breakfast just more goodies!

Excuse me, do you have a spare pint of fancy I could borrow? The Louise is excellent in thought,…read moreword and deed. From walking into the veranda with the gorgeous fountain, to the super friendly, attentive and happy staff at the front desk, to walking into your suite and being blown away with the space, the indoor and outdoor showers, the outer patio, the big bed, the heated bathroom floors, the walk in robe, the big TV with DVD selection OR the beautiful little touch of biscuits and port on arrival for you. PHEW! The Louise is also home to Appelation, which is constantly rated to be one of the best restaurants in Australia. But even if you stay at The Louise without going to Appelation is is extremely worth it. I'll be back when I have a few hundred spare dollars...

Cabins in the Barossa, noice! We had a lovely 2 day visit here. The cabin was a "family cabin"…read morewhich meant that there was a queen size bed and two bunk beds in the corner. I think a family would be a bit squished in there. The spa bath was super and the shower was ammmazing. What a great shower head. We were here when it was pretty quiet but I can see it getting louder and busier in peak times. The cabins have two that connect and they have paper thin walls. Kitchenette has everything you need and we had brekkies there both days. There's a lovely little farm nearby with ponies, sheep, llamas, horses and a bull! I'd definitely visit again.

We have stayed here once before so when we were coming to a wedding nearby this was the perfect…read moreplace to stay again. Finding the cheapest rates in the area always appeals to me (plus I'm always up for an adventure) so at $90 a night I was happy. The motel is what you expect when you hear motel, rooms set out on either side with a drive in reception and your own car park directly outside your room. Speaking amenities, each room has its own outside seating set with two chairs and a smoking bucket. There is a playground, which has no shade, but is a great addition for the families (Boo had awesome fun once the sun had gone down and early morning). There is also a pool which we used last time and is clean and well looked after, with toilets, toys and towels provided. Inside the room is dated, but comfortable. I'm not against dated furnishings, and the exposed brick wall is actually coming BACK into fashion so they have a winner there. Bed was comfy, I recommend pillows as theirs are thin (I bought mine as I always hate hotel pillows) and there are only 3. Room was clean and pleasant. Provided in the room was a small kitchenette including coffee area and fridge. Kettle, iron and hairdryer were located in the cupboard. Hairdryer was lacklustre and took me about an hour to dry my hair, but hey it's an added bonus not a requirement so I recommend bringing your own. There is also free wifi once reception gives you your password. One negative I had was the water pressure in the shower was pretty low. Over all, two very successful, cheap stays. Thumbs up ;)
