My BF and I recently stayed two nights at Monte Pio. We really enjoyed it. After calling a week earlier and requesting a renovated room ( as suggested by someone else on here ) the staff were happy to oblige. On arrival, we were starving and tired, so we decided to eat at The Pine Restaurant downstairs. Even though there... More

What an surprise to arrive.at $ 115 per night accommodation to find it under almost total renovation - not advised when booking - no apology. front entrance full of building material, half tiles missing and taped off reception area, upstairs almost every room but 2 in the wing we were under renovation - tools, rolls of carpet and ladders in...

We booked this late for an overnght stay as we were seeing The Sunnyboys and Elvis Costello at a winery concert. The hotel is a converted convent and rhe rooms have really high ceilings and beautiful features and ours had been refurbed in a contemporary style that was very smart. Beautiful shared balcony on the first floor from our room... More

Based on the mixed reviews of this hotel, I can only conclude that the difference between a really good stay and a bad one is a renovated room or a non-renovated room. I need to thank the previous reviewers for their recommendations, because I followed them to the tee - a renovated room with a balcony... and that is exactly... More

Our second visit to this motel now looking quite tired. We booked for our daughters wedding and arrived to find we didn't have a room despite a group booking of multiple rooms months earlier. A room was only found after an uncomfortable altercation with management. This put a damper on what should have been a wonderful experience. My parents room... More

Could not stop writing this after our 4th stay at this lovely motel. We first stayed here in May 2009. Our second stay was in April 2012 for 2 nights. We were greeted very warmly by the friendly staff and were told that the motel was now under new management. The place looked clean and tidy. It was such a... More

Everything looks a little tired and unloved. The grounds, the pool, the breakfast area, could all be lovely with a bit of TLC. The room was very clean and spacious, although the bathroom is tiny. I was disappointed with the breakfast buffet...the selection of cereal, tinned fruit, juice and toast was ok but I was horrified to see a tide... More

Our first stay back at Monte Pio since our honeymoon in 1995!! The place had aged a bit (but then so have we!!) We were greeted warmly and since our room was double booked we were given a 2 room suite for the same rate. Our rooms were clean, spacious, the air conditioner was cold and despite the room facing...

Location: lovely. Room: spacious, clean, rural view, digital TV, comfortable bed, new linen and furnishings. Reception: friendly and welcoming. But... Coffee: Worst capuccino in a long time - bitter, no flavour; and my pet hate - serving a large size coffee without asking first, so can charge an extra dollar or so. Breakfast: Bacon was burnt at edges. Very basic.... More
