Stayed one night after reading other reviews and agree with the positive comments. Had tried other places but demanded 2 or more night stays, so Sonbern Lodge was about the only choice but a very good choice. Booked by phone - no troubles and friendly advice on how to find it - not such a problem in a small town... More

Our stay here was ok, for one night. Walked into the room, and nothing had been turned on, especially the fridge. There was water, but it was not cold. I get that electricity is expensive, but this was taking it a bit far. The room was clean and comfortable enough for one night. We are now in 2012, I dont... More

Tourism SA organised a room for us at Sonbern Lodge Motel at the last minute. We got a room that accommodated 2 adults and 2 kids. First impression of the building was very old but not in a bad way. Not quite sure of what style it was, maybe Victorian? Check in was fast, the man that served us was... More

As it was the only place I could find that would accept a one night reservation we stayed here. The service and the room was okay. I would not have stayed here if I was going to be in town for more then one night. More

Maria was very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Our room was very clean with everything you need for a couple of nights. Bathroom was sparkling clean and not squeezy. Location was great. A bunch of revelling footballers in the pub down the road kept us awake most of the first night - second night was good though. Breakfast was also good.... More
