Hotels near Mount Brown trail head, Port Augusta

We were really happy with the Majestic Oasis. Friendly staff on arrival. The rooms are well appointed and clean. We got one by the waters edge- reasonable view (for Port Augusta...) and it was a good size. The only issue with the place is that there is very little around it - the better restaurants are the other side of the bridge.

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.

Okay I rang on the move on a Friday afternoon so limited places left in town - the room I was looking at went while in the process of booking so took the next one up. Plenty of room and clean if a little weather-beaten on the edges, some noise from pool pump or aircon outside. Also could hear people next-door and carpark movements, however it was far enough away from the road to avoid traffic. Probably the location is the best thing going for it - inlet is only a few yards away, is a pub or cafe close at hand for drinks and food, and easy o get back on the main road. No glasses for a drink and the pillow selection was limited, but note that these are available from reception - didn't see the option until too late. Little bit on the dear side i have to say - if the cost was shared over 4 people would be good value. Stayed in worse outfits.

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!

All the inclusions I needed for a 3 night stay with kitchen utensils, large fridge, living and dining area. Bathroom and Bedrooms were a generous size and would suit 2 couples. Loved the small touches on arrival and the check in process was seamless. It was a quick walk to the foreshore, perfect for a morning walk or an evening stroll after work. Great location!

staff are amazing, especially the breakfast staff. So polite and helpful. Rooms are cleaned every day. Microwave and bar fridge in room, great shower great water pressure, air con/heater works great, small table with 2 seats also in room a double couch. Room service available, and staff who deliver are friendly. I felt safe as a single female staying here ,parking in sight from your room, shopping center within a 1 minute walk from here, taxis are available just outside the venue. Would defiantly recommend staying here.

Booked Ellen Hotel on trip from Coober Pedy to Adelaide, wanted somewhere nice to stay after a run of questionable outback motels. I booked a Luxury Suite, the photos looked stunning but in reality it was an internal room with no windows to outside. Only windows are to the adjoining Luxury Suite with a glass fishbowl lounge area where everyone can look in. I wouldn’t of minded as much if the didn’t interrogate me around the credit card for payment. I had 4 interactions all within the first 2hrs Rolf arriving. I’d just driving 6hrs and was tired to have Payment of room be queried, I booked and paid via my Qantas Holiday app - who then pay the hotel. After I check in, I got a phone call to return to reception - where the man said the credit card declined. I told him I prepaid - showed bank statement and confirmation emails but since the Ellen Hotel confirmation email said payment outstanding he made me feel like I was trying to defraud them - even wanted a different credit card, as he charged in EFTPOS machine the one on file in front of me to show me it was declined - it was very awkward and made me feel he would charge my guarantee card I provided. Having worked in hotels myself for many years, I asked him if he had contacted Qantas to confirm payment whereby my last interaction was that a virtual credit had been provided and could only be charged on checkout date - it seems like education is lacking all round. I can’t fault the room, and the internal decor - it was immaculate, bathroom was stunning with steam shower but no external windows. Incredibly clean (apart from some wear and tear with roof peeling from steam shower and bottle marks on tiles) The place was a motel that they’ve fully revamped and hats off to the owners that did this for the industrial town. It would probably be a great getaway location - and for my first time in Port Pirie I wouldn’t return over my check-in experience.
