It was expensive for a star 2 or 3 place , a long way put of town . Thankfully very good place to eat. Rooms antiquated with glass patterned front door. We could not sleep at all because of the outside light coming through brightly . This need to be changed.

Great Stay at the Sundowner Motel We really enjoyed our stay at the Sundowner Motel. It's conveniently located for easy access to Whyalla, making it a great stopover spot. The staff were incredibly friendly and had a “no problem” attitude that made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Our room was quiet, clean, and exactly what we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through or visiting the area.
