Hotels near Duregon Street Park, Port Augusta

This property would have been more impressive visually had we not just come from luxury in Berri, SA. The one bedroom oceanveiw apartment was all modern with a new kitchen and good dining space. The bathroom was a bit squishy with washer and dryer in it (handy for a longer stay, but we were only there one night) and toilet paper in odd spot across from the toilet (had to move it to stop it getting wet when you shower and dry yourself). Also hard to flush toilet - button stiff. Shower head powerful, but only in the outside circle, no water in the middle, but still decent. Bed a bit hard and pillows not comfy. Interesting design with 2 wall-doors (L-shape) of the bedroom opening and closing into the dining/kitchen. Did find the staff quite rude - the sofa bed was not made up upon arrival, despite it being requested, the bedding for it was left on chair beside the sofa. The last thing you feel like doing when arriving at 6pm after a long day of driving is making your own bed - especially when you've paid for the extra person to be in the room! There was also no extra towel for the extra person. We called reception and were told just make up the sofa yourself then collect the required towels from reception. No explanation, apology or offer to assist. They then called back to say they would deliver the towels to the room, which they did. The property would get 4 stars, if not for the staff/bedding issue. This apartment had no real view of water, just glimpses as it was on the ground floor behind a fence, multiple trees and the kids playground. Nice location on the esplanade, an easy walk through the property to the Esplanade for gorgeous sunset views. Liked the property being gated with the area having a poor reputation for security, would have preferred to be upstairs for more security and better views. Also then wouldn't have heard those above us walking around. Noise wasn't extreme, but definitely noticeable.

Great accommodation - key fob has a room service feature Loved the resort style fan in the lobby and the shell shaped soap dish holders throughout - definitely gave me resort vibes. Unfortunately didn't have time to go for a dip in the swimming pool but will pack the bathers for next time General consensus amongst our business party was 10 out of 10

Awesome pet friendly accommodation. Great staff inclusive of management to housekeepers. Friendly, polite, accommodating Fantastic to. E able to travel with my fur kids knowing they are welcome in the motel. Loads of places to walk the fur kids, on leash due to being on the main road. Highly recommended

Wasn’t expecting too much for Port Augusta though was pleasantly surprised staying here overnight. A hotel doesn’t have to be 5 star to be enjoyable and comfortable. Sometimes it’s the little things that sets it apart . This is a central hotel on the main highway but there is very little road noise when inside the room. It’s very neat, tidy, and clean. Reception was efficient, helpful and friendly. The pictures online make it look dated. It’s not new, but it has been well maintained. What I noticed was that management have gone above and beyond so many other hotels even up to 5 star level, by implementing small improvements that make a difference. Might not be important to some but I valued the room dimmer light switches and the power points with inbuilt usb charging. So good to be able to turn on a dimmed light at night. Love how the block out curtains, actually close properly. Nice features that are rare. The complimentary continental breakfast was thoughtful. Selections are offered when you check in and can be taken back to your room to enjoy in the morning. Toast and cereal, more than adequate. Huge comfortable bed and nice flowing shower. No restaurant but next door is a good take out and across the road a Foodland. Phoning direct may well get you a better price than booking online. Would definitely stay again.

A hotel that helps a colleague make a mistake. This family was good in all aspects of the evaluation and chose this family. The hotel's been making good comments. Nice position, too! Good recommendation!

The room we stayed in looked like it hadn’t been updated since the 1980’s. Very drab and boring decor. The brick walls were dark but we could see dirty marks all over them. The linen and towels were equally as old and worn out. Time for a refurbishment!!!! The meals we had were nice but took about an hour to bring out to the table. Not sure I would stay there again but would eat there.
