  Tropical Oasis

  We stayed here overnight a few days ago. I looked at the reviews and nearly did not book. The lady on reception running the show is lovely and welcoming, the room was clean and the setup that every room looks into a tropical like gardens with undercover clean and sparkling pool is just beautiful! I think this poor lady has copped a few uninspiring reviews as the tariff is $175.00 (which is probably set by the owners) and when people pay this amount the expectation (justifiably so) is high and things like dated bathrooms etc are not overlooked! But all in all this a really nice place to stay and I would stay again.

  Clean, comfortable room in a great location

  Walking distance to supermarket, shops and The Tavern. The room was small for the price and the bathroom needed a facelift but was very clean and comfortable. Door opens up to the pool area, with outdoor seating and garden type area which was lovely. Due to the remote location and little competition its expected to pay a higher price for accommodation, so overall enjoyed our overnight stay.

  Expected better

  Roxby Downs is a modern town in a very remote part of Australia. As I understand it, it was built to service the nearby Olympic Dam mine. Unfortunately, there is only one motel in town, and I suspect it would benefit from some competition. The motel looks nice, and is modern - as you would expect. The rooms are pleasant enough. It has three stars, and with a little effort, could be four stars. However, the owners are obviously skimping. For example, the bathroom door in our room was warped and would not shut (inexcusable); and the door on the fridge cupboard was also warped, and required a huge effort to shut. The fridge door was also splintered on the bottom, and was wearing the carpet. These obviously were not recent problems. Not fixing things like this is bad management. It is not something I would expect in a three star establishment, especially one which was charging top-end rates. In most outback accommodation, I would not quibble about such things, but I was annoyed that a modern motel, which has much potential, seemed to be taking its customers for granted. Roxby Downs is not so remote that it doesn't have access to internet services, so I was at a loss as to why there was no wifi (free or otherwise). Apparently when you are the only motel in town, you can charge what you like, provide minimum services, and not bother maintaining your rooms properly. The fact that the staff were pleasant did not help the basic problems. Next time I will try the cabins in the caravan park, or keep driving.

  Terrible!

  Outdated, falling apart, bed is the absolute worst ever and got no sleep and left with extreme pain. Hasnt changed in at least 16 years. Well overdue. No mini bar. No information folder. Will not stay again. $160 a night, should be $60 a night!

  Overpriced Accomodation

  The accommodation buildings are nothing to look at and the enclosed courtyard/swimming pool was closed. Rooms were fine but not exceptional. Overpriced but limited alternatives available. Ding is across the road at the Roxby Tavern.
