Meningie Waterfront Motel and Cafe

Pleasant for 1 night Room was small and clean but a beautiful view of the lake from our bed and could sit out the front of the motel to watch the sunset 🌇
Good communication throughout which was appreciated
Only disappointment was the gardening was a little in need of doing.
Not much difference between both motels in Meningie, this one has the veiw of the lake.

We were in need of a warm dry place for a night and stumbled across here. Beautiful views across the lake from our window. Yes the room is small BUT it’s got all we need :). Warm shower. Comfy bed. TV and free dvd library in reception. Laundry facilities. Perfect little overnight stop in for the price.

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were so clean and everything needed was provided, views of the lake are incredible. Highly recommend!

I had a great stay. My phone had come of my motorcycle on my way up from Victoria. I couldn't get into my phone to get my ticket for the 40th anniversary HOG rally combining Harley Davidson 120th anniversary. The staff helped me contact my girlfriend so I could get the ticket sent to the hotel and printed out ready for my ride.

Easy check in, simple and straightforward. Owners even gave us a call to check in on how far away we were. Old style service.
Rooms are simple and easy access.

What a great place to stay! Now under new management I couldn't have felt more welcome. Rooms are clean and tidy, great river views, very friendly staff and a great place to have a meal, very generous serves, you won't walk away hungry. Would highly recommend

Phenomenal! Lynn and Ralph are the most accommodating pair I have ever met. They went above and beyond at every turn. From generous portions sizes for hungry travellers, to offering to take our photo on the stunning wharf as keep sakes. Couldn’t recommend high enough!

Nice place, good size bar fridge, has a freezer that works. Comfortable bed, tv is in the room, also reverse cycle aircon. Enough PowerPoints to recharge your kit. Lovely lady there and they do Cook, you pick up, just as I like it. No extra charge! 😎

We had a great night's sleep in a very comfortable queen sized bed.
Our room was right on the waterfront and through the window we saw stars from our cosy bed.
Good shower too.

What a wonderful and hospitable place to stay, right on the water of the beautiful Lake Albert and close to everything this wonderful town and region has to offer. The owner is generous and delightful and went out of her way to help me going over and above. Highly recommended!

Been staying here periodically for 20 odd years now and our visit for 2 nights last week was by far the best experience yet. Lynne and Ralph made it thoroughly enjoyable and no request was a problem. Cheers you two

What an awesome place to stay
My wife, M.I.L. & I stayed here on weekend 26/27 Nov 2022. The location was excellent for us We were going to "The Bend" to watch the ASBK championship & 50km from there is no problem.
We were going to arrive late Saturday night so communication to the hotel was no problem.
Upon arrival we were greeted with the main man & he was really easy to get along with. Had a bit of a joke/laugh with a few things & check in was done. We had room #1 with a Lake view.
The room had 1 X queen bed & two singles. Beds were comfortable & linen clean. A/C in the room operational, fridge cold as, &
toilet /Bathroom facilities in one room. Hot water on tap & sustains a long shower.
Decided to eat at the restaurant/cafe on site & that was a positive move. Good selection of beverages (Jim Beam pre mix main concern) & the restaurant looks out onto Lake Alexandrina.
Our order for Dinner consisted of : T-Bone Steak( beautifully cooked) , Lamb Shank on a bed of mashed potato & Veg( again beautiful) & crumbed cutlets( superb). Excellent meals, promptly serviced.
Had breakfast there Sunday morning & it was also a great meal. It is very handy the restaurant is open for Breakfast as by the time we would have got to The Bend we would've been starving. Bacon & eggs all round & another good feed.
Late back from the track Sunday arvo so had dinner there again. Garlic & garlic cheesy bread, Lamb loin chops, Local Coorong mullet butterflied & crumbed.
I thoroughly recommend a stay at the Waterfront Hotel. The hotel definitely punches above its weight & the proprietors are super friendly & helpful

Best pizzas ever Sunday lunch, absolutely loaded with delicious toppings!

We had a beautiful experience at the Motel.Lynn and Ralph were the most wonderful hosts.From the time we walked in till the time we leftwe were treated like family. Rooms clean,food delicious 😋 Highly recommended

a 2 day stay at this motel early january. friendly and informative owners made us most welcome.a most fabulous view over the lake and clean fresh rooms make this a great holiday stopover.5star rating from thomas and margaret.

Lovely lake views, friendly staff, very good pricing. The room smelt and looked extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. Definitely will be back

What an absolute gem of a find! The owners Charmaine and Mark made the booking and check in a breeze. Our cosy room was clean with a view that does this charming motel justice! The food was delicious and a bottle of bubbles, chilled glasses and a sunset......

Amazing value, stunning views and friendly welcoming hosts.
If mid 20th century feels is your thing then the restaurant is a must.
Get a lake view room if you can. The rooms are not huge but the view makes up for it

We got upgraded for free to a lake facing room. This was a treat because we could watch Pelicans and other birds from the comfort of our bed! Friendly owner and the cafe supplied a great breakfast.

We stayed here either side of Christmas and would come back in a heartbeat. Why? Because, Sharmaine and Mark our hosts both have hearts of gold, they are a humble and genuine couple who made us feel very welcomed. They went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of, for example cooking us delicious home made pizzas just after the kitchen had closed. The rooms are super clean and tidy which is very refreshing for the welcomed price tag. They could bump up their prices and I'd still be happy. Very happy memories here :)
