We based ourselves at the Alexander Cameron during our visit to the Penola Arts Festival (and, of course, the Coonawarra wineries). The motel room was clean and well appointed, with a very friendly and helpful front desk. Good value at $130. The only slight negative was the somewhat minimal breakfast offering left in the room.

Stayed on a Saturday night and found the room spotless and with a very spacious area and bathroom to match. The staff very friendly and helpful. A more than adequate continental breakfast provided in the tariff. Would recommend highly and we will return for an extended stay to visit the wineries.

We stayed one night here and wished we stayed longer! The rooms are huge and so spacious! It is one of the most neatest and cleanest place I've been to. We walked into the place thinking it had recently been renovated. Turns out the owners take so much pride in keeping the place lovely for guest. We'll be back!

It is possibly the most comfortable and best appointed, not to mention cleanest!! motel room we have ever stayed in...........anywhere!! This time around, on a quiet night, we were alloted an even larger room with a view. At $130 it was... More

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality and attention to detail of the facilities in our room. Large bathroom, plenty of towels, and a large comfortable bed. Warm and welcoming manager who also helped us with delivering wine from our purchase earlier in the day.
