Kadina Village Motel

I grew up in this area and was back for the first time in 20+ years. I chose to stay in the town I used to call home. I was sitting in my bed after shower at approximately 9pm when the door suddenly opened only stopped by the safety chain. A creepy looking man was staring in at me. I met no man when I checked in. I said what are you doing! And repeated over and over close the door I am naked. He just kept the door open staring in saying “you left the light on you need to leave”. After many request he shut the door. I opened the door while filming for my safety. He had disappeared. He came back and said we knocked. I said I heard this faint knock, but thought it was guests in another room. He literally said ok, but you have to go cause you let the bathroom light and fan on. I explained that left it on after a shower that steamed it up. He said I don’t care you need to leave or I call the police. He went away and then came back saying “I refund you find somewhere else to stay.” I called the police they said there was nothing they could do. Ladies take note, he can open your door and there is nothing the police can do. I left and he did not find my money. Think about this, the bathroom light cannot be seen from the front of the hotel, you cannot hear a ceiling fan if watching via security cameras. Without looking in you cannot know whether someone is using the bathroom. How did he know I was not using the bathroom without looking in through the window? DO NOT STAY HERE.

We stayed here for 3 nights during the last week of our 6 week Aussie trip. We are geocachers so chose this motel to fit in with places we wanted to walk. It turned out to be the best decision of our trip. Check in was quick and friendly, and we didn't say no to the delicious bottle of wine. Parking was right next to our room and there were a couple of chairs outside that we particularly liked. The weather back in the UK was really awful so we wanted to spend as much time outside as possible before we returned. An old railway line has been turned into a cycle/pedestrian path with caches all the way along. We weren't there long enough to find them all so perhaps we need to come back one day. We were surprised that the room was serviced every day. The bin was emptied and biscuits and chocolates appeared daily. This isn't usual for a motel and was much appreciated. Thank you both so much for our visit.

Typical roadside motel. Friendly staff, rooms are clean, not all that big, but all you need is available. If you drive a big car, the parking in the courtyard is a bit on the small side. The bottle of wine was a nice gift. There's a delicious Indian takeaway right nextdoors.

Amazing Motel just in the outskirts of Kadina on the road to Wallaroo. Great and easy location to get to anywhere in Kadina town, about a 5 min drive to anywhere in Kadina including the main street, shops and supermarkets. The room was extremely clean to a very high standard. Amenities includes coffee and tea making facilities, nice sized fridge, microwave, AC and WiFi. Nice sized bathroom and room. Easy and fast checkin and express checkout facility. Would highly recommend this motel and will consider it again upon my return to Kadina. I hope this review is helpful : )
