It was what it was ... a budget motel.
We were not disappointed, we knew before we went it was a budget motel, somewhere to stay overnight, though, having said that one could stay longer if you weren't expecting any frills. The reception staff were very welcoming, parking was right outside our ground floor room. Basics in 2 bathtowels, a bath mat and two cakes of soap. But, not a problem. The price refelcted this. We had milk in the fridge, a TV, extra pillows and blankets and it was clean, tired, but clean. I would recommend it. Lynn

Convenient and budget priced.
Was what was required for our stay. We were upgraded and then when we got to room was not made up- so reverse upgrade and back to standard room. Coffee cups could use some bleach.

A bit out of the way of most things but a nice quiet area and just what I wanted. Staff were friendly and the room was your average 3* rating but still comfortable and clean. Met my needs for the time I was there

Location was perfect.
It was nice sitting on the balcony with a drink, but unfortunately the trees blocked the view! The room was clean, but the bathroom was a little small and the shower curtain was a pain while taking a shower as it kept blowing in on you but in saying all this we did enjoy our stay.

Great location beautiful staff
Luv Victor Harbour the location was great walking distance to beach shops granite island awesome stay. Great having toaster and microwave in the room as well as table and chairs. So many motels now where you have to sit on the bed. Fantastic to have table and chairs outside our room to sit back and relax at night. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay.

Clean and comfortable at a budget price
The Wintersun Motel is a Budget motel, and you get what you pay for. However, it is clean and comfortable, and having a "kitchenette" with microwave and toaster means you can prepare your own breakfast, snacks, or even meals, if you like. The highway outside the motel is quite busy at times, so accessing it with your car can be tricky. Likewise, crossing it on foot must be done with care. However, the noise from the road could hardly be heard inside the unit.

We came down during the week to look for whales, but due to storms and poor visibility none were seen. The accommodation was very good. This motel is convenient to the town for eating facilities and to other nearby towns.

Within walking distance of everything we wanted
Our room was pleasant and spacious. One of the bedside overhead lights did not work, but that was the only real fault we could find. The shower recess was clean, and had room to move in it. The city centre was within easy walking distance of the motel. Being close to the main Victor Harbour to Middleton Road meant there was some road noise, but that wasn't really a problem. And when we book in and out we were met with a very pleasant, friendly and helpful lady looking after the front counter.

Simple hotel.Get what you paid for.
My experience at check in was not at all good. i was under the impression i had already paid when i booked online. I was lucky i had the due amount for the night or things would have gotten awkward. I told staff that they really need to make sure they have on their online itinerary that your room has only been "reserved". They asked for my credit card details which made me think i was paying at the time. They should make it clear that they are taking the details for security reason and not for payment. After 35min of calling bank, checking online statements etc. the issue was resolved. After an exhausting day and being pregnant all i wanted to do was check in and go to my room within 5min of arriving, not have this hassle.

Outstandingly clean but old fashioned decor
I travel a lot with business and therefore see a lot of 4&5 star hotels across the world. This hotel was one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Yes, the decor is dated but everything is spotlessly clean. A large television, comfortable bed, kettle, cutlery, microwave and fridge. What more can you ask for in this price range?

Disappointed and does not warrant the star rating
We booked 3 rooms, one was a good size, one ok, and one small - all a similar price. The facilities and room fit out were very dated. Main problem was that one of the 3 rooms had damp carpet, and the bed was also damp. The room smelled dank and mouldy. We had to accept it as motel was full, but the smell was almost unbearable.

Thought it was going to be noisy as its on the main road but pleasantly surprised how quiet it was when the traffic stopped at night. A bit over priced but it was holiday season and tour down under time. Would probably stay again if price was right.

Convenient, Comfortable & Affordable
This was my second time staying here and I cannot fault it. Check-in was completed within a couple of minutes. I was given room 8 on the ground floor. This was a king room with microwave, bar fridge (always handy). The bed was very comfortable and a good sleep was had. Check out was too easy. After arriving home, I received a call from Choi at the motel to say that I had left a pillow in the room (which I had totally forgotten about). I headed back to Victor to pick the pillow up. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The only downside is that there is no Wi-Fi. Despite that, I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Nice little motel located just outside of town but just a 10 minute walk to the main street restaurants and cafes, and one street back from the sandy beach. The room was spotless, tea, coffee and microwave. Decoration is a bit 80s with brick walls and tiles. One long balcony for 1st floor rooms with chairs and table outside each room, sand buckets for smokers under the outdoor tables which should be emptied of butts before new guests arrive. It is on a relatively busy road during the day but noise didn't bother us at night. A moderately priced accommodation. Joy, one of the motel owners is a delightfully bright young lady who made us very welcome, thank you.

Everything you need for a business stay
The Hotel staff (Joy) were incredibly pleasant and hospitable. From a business perspective, the hotel has everything you need to be able to work from the hotel, with complementary internet, comfortable tables and chairs. Inexpensive basic breakfast available. Don't expect much from the tv (4 channels) , but with internet who needs it.
