My husband and I have just returned from yet another stay at this motel/hotel and it will definitely be our last. Each visit to Whyalla has been for medical appointments/procedures for my husband which are stressful and expensive excercises, so issues with accommodation just add to the angst. Over the last 12 months, I have stayed at The Sundowner for... More

The tall palm trees lining the traffic island in the parking area are a nice touch and certainly add some nice holiday flavour. To reiterate what others have said, you'll be pleased to find rooms are spacious, clean, with tasteful interior design. The complimentary breakfast in the hotel is also a great touch - just be sure not to help... More

My daughter and I stayed overnight on a Saturday in a twin room that was close to the bar/restaurant but there was no noise issue. The beds are king single size, the room looked brand new and was immaculately clean. The bathroom was also spotlessly clean and the towels were excellent. This accommodation represented excellent value for money. Continental breakfast... More

The Sundowner Motel was the first stop on our first road trip with the baby, and it set a high standard for accommodation on our holiday. We were impressed with our room which was spacious, comfortable and incredibly clean. Despite quite a bit of furniture (king bed + single bed, two bedside tables, two arm chairs, coffee table, cupboard, bar... More

I have been coming to Whyalla for years and normally stay at the Alexander but this has really lost its edge over the last couple of years. Also has got quite expensive and meal quality has really dropped off. Thought I'd try the Sundowner as it was only one night. Very impressed (compared last stay in 2002). For $110 you... More

I was recently at Whyalla for a conference and booked into the Sundowner for 5 nights. This is part of a larger hotel/bottle shop/pokies complex which is located not far from the airport. This property is nothing to write home about but equally it wasn't that bad either. The room I had was clean and while not huge it did... More

Stayed at this Hotel/Motel on our way back from Tumby Bay. We found the room comfortable and the staff very friendly and obliging as we had frozens which were put in their big freezer until we left. The meals were more than ample and we will stay there again when we go thru next.
