Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room overall was clean and the parking outside the room was good. The staff at reception were friendly. The bed was pretty ok but the shower head while having good coverage and water pressure decided to spin around during the shower on several occasions drenching the bathroom. I had to wipe the walls and leave the heating on to dry it on checkout. The room would have benefitted from a toaster and some crockery, but the complimentary water and chocolate was appreciated. Overall, a good motel and I would stay again.

Comfort Plus

Breakfree Port Pirie would have to be the best comfort stay of our trip (10,000 kms) from check in to clean amenities, comfy bed and fluffy towels in our room and the welcome gift was a nice touch. Highly recommend a stay here - it provides all one needs, thank you.

Had a one night stay in a family room and although the motel is old and showing it we had a pleasant stay there. The checkin lady was nice and friendly and the hotel gives guest a complimentary small bottle of Red Wine, A small packet of chips and two kit kats which was a nice touch. Resturant food was good.
