Pampas Motel Port Augusta

I have stayed in many places in Port Augusta. Until this trip, I had never heard of Motel Pampas. I did a loop on the highway, spotted their sign, and thought, "Why not?" I am so glad I did. I followed the signs - walked in - and met a nice young fellow who was most courteous. Through an electric security gate, I entered a nice, open-walled but covered area and into a rather eclectic room. The new units were built on the land area, which likely explains my room's odd-shaped bathroom. We all know the trains rumble through Port Augusta and pass close behind the Motel Pampas, but it's not a problem. The motel rooms are amazingly quiet because they have wind-down shutters, and the room's comfort is great. Quiet, great bed, nice sheets and decent pillows. Table and a bench to charge all my "stuff"... The hot water is a bit slow, but a sign states that... In its heyday, the original building was obviously a substantial property. It is nice to see old buildings that are well-cared for. The Motel Pampas is still quant and, as I mentioned, mildly eclectic, if not eccentric. I like the place, and it was a good sensible price... I will return to Motel Pampas.

We had super bad experience in this motel. We was living at room number 7 and the room has 3 mouse and few Cockroachs so we couldn't sleep well for whole night. We spoke to the boss and staff, they said they will refund money to us but we didn't get any money refund until now(one month more already) I had called them asking about it, they said you need to wait. I think they don't want to refund money to us so they just make excuse🤬 The photo was showing we used towel trying to stop mouse coming to room🤮

Only spent one night here on the way to the Flinders Ranges. The building is lovely and historic, and our room was huge. The bed was comfortable and we had a nice sunset view out the window. Walking distance to a nice park and a few fast food restaurants. The centre of town is a short drive away. The woman at reception was friendly and helpful. Off street secure parking was available and wifi was good throughout the building.

Recently stayed for 1 night while travelling through. Don't let the rough looking building on the outside or the fact you need to call a number for someone to come and check you in put you off. The owner is friendly and extremely helpful. The inside of the building is renovated. We booked a motel room which is out the back, not in the main building. Room was clean and spacious. The little court yard was perfect to enjoy takeaway dinner in. Would stay here again if ever travelling through or visiting.
