Pros:

Room was large and well appointed with good amenities. Location was great. Lots of parking and very quiet. Rose Gardens were beautiful.

Cons:

Room didn't have an iron or ironing board. Shower head was weak and low flow and desperately needed replacing.

I will probably not stay at Lyndoch Motel again.
Pros:

The room was quiet and comfortable

Cons:

Being charged a daily rate, I expected the room to be serviced daily. It was not, so coffee, sugar etc. was used up very quickly over a 4-night stay.
The restaurant was overpriced especially for wine. Barely a mouthful in a glass for $14 was robbery. The locals call it the Barossa Tax.
There was no local Free to Air TV available at all as it was disconnected. The only TV available was via satellite streaming and what a dog's breakfast that is/was. Just to watch the morning or evening news was a trial - a process of waiting for the download from the satellite then watch 5 mins - stop, go again for another few mins the stop - the go back to the beginning, start again, go for a few minutes, etc. Essentially TV was rubbish. Whomever thought that TV via Starlink was a good idea needs to be fired.

Cons:

No TV - only smart apps
No light on the balcony
Only One ceiling light in the whole room that is blinding
The blower in the garden when I was trying to relax - loud and invasive
Shower taps very touchy (cold tap), got burned at one stage
Shower head too low
Only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 nights
Only 2 bath towels
Need screen doors to avoid flys

One of the best motels we have stayed for the price range.
Pros:

The room was spacious, user friendly and comfortable. All facilities were in excellent condition. We enjoyed our stay. No meals were involved. As a frequent motel user the Lyndoch was way above the average motel.

Cons:

There was nothing we did not like. Very rare experience for a motel stay.
