Pampas Motel

This hotel is closed down

This property is closed down

This motel is CLOSED very annoyed as I rang a few days to confirm and they didn’t say anything and we turned up and it had definitely not been operating for a while!! Needs to be taken off this site!! They had organised other accommodation for us but not the point we weren’t the only patrons turning up shocked to find it closed up!!! They should of contacted us!

Very nice property and room.

The bed was comfy, however we did not have a microwave in our room. The rooms are not very soundproof either, I expected the train noise, but the noisy people in the room next door were awful.

A good, simple stay at Pampas motel. Furniture in room was very nice and shared bathrooms were very clean. Kitchen lacked a fridge and stove (although reception told us that most rooms have fridges). There was a cracked window pane in the room which let a bit of a draught in but it wasn’t too cold at night. Overall a good spot for a short stay.

Large rooms with original features - 12ft ceilings.

Everything was good the only problem was the trains in the middle of the night so loud .

I got there late as I had been driving all day I didn’t see the town etc that day, but have been through Port Augusta many times. I found the property to be delightful.

Very neat and tidy bathroom was great water pressure was fantastic

A good motel :)

Most of the motel has alot of great character. Lovely and friendly staff. The price you pay is low but value for money is good especially with air con.

Convenient place to stay in Port Augusta

Staff off handed. Trains passing at all hours of the night, beds need upgrading.

Positives: Good wifi, large room, price. Slept well in the bed. Negatives: The "kitchen" lacked a fridge (freezer only for some reason), no cutlery (bring your own). Does have a microwave and toaster though. Unstaffed at published check-in time, so had to phone and wait ten minutes, apparently 2pm is no longer correct. Bathrooms are huge rooms but then have about the smallest actual shower cubicle I've encountered. With a strange lump under a rug, I finally got curious enough to lift it up to find a bit of rubbish was literally "swept under the rug" at some point. Interesting: It was a lovely old pub, I'd once considered buying something similar to turn into accommodation so was keen to check it out. Strangely, it felt half renovated, with classy furniture in places but then like they'd run out of funds and have things like bedside lamps on a nice table but without any power to actually enable them to work. I'd imagine that the more standard motel rooms downstairs are what earn the more positive reviews as the upstairs guest rooms have so much potential. I wanted to like it, but should have just paid a bit more to stay somewhere far better.

first room we got was unserviced and staff member didn't believe me so had to look for themselves. next room was better but so noisy with traffic and trains and one of the beds kept on moving throughout the night everytime they moved

Comfortable for what we needed for the night

Great beds, nice and quiet, basic shared kitchen

Adequate and clean.

It was great
