Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Greg F wrote a review Oct 2022

4 rooms were booked for our extended family for 3 nights for a winery escape weekend. All rooms were spotlessly clean and all facilities were in working order. Each room contained a microwave, toaster, cutlery, and plates plus tea/coffee-making facilities. The rooms were spacious with QS beds.
The family room had 2 x single beds in a separate room (including its own TV)
The pool was inviting but the weather was not conducive for a swim (that will have to wait until next time).
The bathrooms were essentially brand new with a heat lamp and fan. The towels were of top quality.
Adequate parking is available onsite and easily catered for a 12-seater minibus outside our door.
A BBQ is located next to the pool with 4 tables and adequate seating.
The town centre is an easy 5-minute walk away.
The owners, Sue and Mark, were helpful, friendly, and only too happy to cater to any extra requests.
We have already booked for 2023.

The motel is located opposite the De Bertoli winery and a 10 minute stroll into the main street of Rutherglen. The motel proprietors were extremely accomodating and pleasant. The attention to detail outside and in the newly refurbished rooms was extraordinary. The bed was absolutely fantastic. Pillow selections were great. The rooms were warm and very quiet.

The Wongarra is in a great location and walking distance to the town, restaurants and nearby cellar doors.

Friendly and helpful staff, room immaculately presented and spotless. One of the better motels I have stayed in in some time.

Take your push bike the rail trails around Rutherglen are fantastic.

Recommend the Motel Wongarra.

The new management here have taken such great care to enhance the look and feel of this motel. It’s looking and feeling lovely and fresh. We stayed in the family suite and it was very comfortable to share for two adults. Convenient location walking distance into town. Would highly recommend.

Without a doubt this would have to be the best motel within Rutherglen. On arrival we were immediately greeted by our host and guided to our room. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable. Tea/coffee provided along with normal breakfast appliances. Even though other guests were in rooms next door it was very quiet. Air conditioner kept the room cosy and warm.
We would have no hesitation recommending this motel and look forward to returning.
Our hosts, Sue and mark, welcomed us like members of their family.

We have been annual visitors to Motel Woongarra for eight or ten years, over Regatta Weekend. We keep coming back because the place is clean and comfortable has reliable hot water, and is good value. This year it has new management who have spruced the place up so that the rooms have a freshness about them. We highly recommend.

The host for this hotel could not have been more helpful. Although arriving at 8PM was happy to ring several pubs and restaurants to check who was still serving food. Our room was spacious was very roomy and well equiped and the bed was very comfortable.

Times have been tough lately for businesses in this area. This motel provides a comfortable stay in a super-clean room. For those people wanting a short break - go and enjoy Motel Woongarra and the surrounding areas BUT please ensure you are coming only from areas not listed as Covid hot spots. Let us all commit to keeping this place and others in the area free of further issues.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very clean and tidy hotel. The rooms we had were newly renovated with a king bed in one room and a queen in the other. The hotel is on the corner of the main road but entry is from a side street. The rooms are far enough away from the main road and are quiet. Would recommend this motel as it is very good value. We had trouble booking on the hotels website but phoned and had not trouble getting 2 rooms on a days notice.

After a lengthy stay away from Rutherglen it was great to be back. Enjoyed a short break after our Covid lockdown. Have stayed here before and it just keeps getting better. Hearty homecooked breakfasts are now complimented by Restaurant quality meals of an evening that can be enjoyed with a bottle of local wine. Our room was exceptionally clean and it was pleasing to see the lengths the owners were going to ensuring the safety of guests. Can't wait to return.
