We stayed at the Vineyard in July 2013 because it WASNT a
typical main street motel. The location is terrific only 4 minutes dri8ve out of
town with stunning views of the country and surrounded by a vineyard.
Our room was spacious and roomy for 2 adults and one big
teen. The under floor heating was great during a chilly night and much less
stuffy than A/C.
Everything was immaculate and clean with a generous
continental breakfast (which is what we wanted after 4 days of bacon and eggs).
Highly recommend if you want peace and very friendly,
helpful hosts.

After a night on the ferry, the long drive north was
punctuated by a puncture on the Hume Highway and an irritating police car that
shadowed me attentively most of the way from Boorowa. Approaching Cowra in the
dark I chanced to notice a discrete roadside sign, Vineyard Motel. There
was no neon, no floodlit forecourt, just a turnoff onto a country road. I’m not
sure whether it was a sense of exploration or maybe just a decision to grab the
first opportunity to stop the car and relax, but I turned left anyway.
Up the hill and past the first vines I found
the place, and a warm welcome at Reception. With some hesitancy I mentioned that
my friend Buckley (red cattle dog) usually camped in the back of the car.
“No, no need to keep him in the car,” was the
answer, “We’re Pet Friendly!” and “Oh, what a lovely fellow! Yes, of course he
can come in the room (just as long as he doesn’t want to sleep on the bed).”
After assurances that Buckley will be
completely content with a soft carpet and underfloor heating, we were introduced
to our quiet room and a comfortable night, to wake next morning and walk with
Buckley, enjoying the crisp frosty air and the vista across the wide vineyard.
It will be sad if the vines really have to be removed, just because people are
not drinking enough of the good Merlot that I enjoyed last night!
It is great to find an Australian motel that
offers a European standard of welcome for a traveller with his companion dog. My
congratulations and thanks to the Vineyard Motel for a high standard of
hospitality and for a very pleasant stay.

Just writing to say your accommodation is delightful. We
were warm, comfortable and happy in the large room provided. Really enjoyed the
view of the vineyard from the table when we had breakfast in the morning. Thanks
again for setting up the cot with blankets for a hassle free stay. See you next
year when the Grenfell show is on again.

Hi Kaizad and Persis,
Thanks for your hospitality!
Just wanted to write and say how much we appreciated all the effort that you put
into making our stay at your motel so enjoyable, when we travelled out there for
the Cowra Eisteddfod recently. We were particularly thankful for the fact
that you were happy to arrange accommodation suitable for us and our four
children, as it is often very difficult to find good family accommodation for
our numbers.
The rooms were clean and fresh, and the evening meals were also much enjoyed -
especially the brownies for dessert :) Your friendly and homey
motel really has the feel of a country bed and breakfast! We look forward
to visiting you again, next time we're in Cowra.
Kind regards,
Marten and Anne Hilberts

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for such a wonderful weekend. We couldn't have wanted for more ! The
idyllic peace and beauty of the location and your warm and friendly welcoming
were fabulous. We would thoroughly recommend the Vineyard Motel and can't wait
to return. Best wishes Di and Richard room 3!

Dear Wendy,
Many thanks for the wonderful hospitality and homely feel which we all
experienced at the Vineyard Motel over the weekend. I would certainly recommend
it to my friends and family in the future. Hopefully, I will be able to return
in the not too distant future!

Dear Wendy-Jane,
Thanks for having us, really enjoyed it as did Miko & Skye. We had a lovely walk
through the vineyards this morning and Skye loved playing ball there!
Thanks for being so genuinely "dog friendly" too. I know Miko can be a little
anti-social, but I hope Skye will remember you next time and not bark at you!
Thanks again and hopefully see you soon.

Hi Wendy,
Hope this finds you well. Just looked at the Cowra Guardian online and saw your
much deserved award. Really excited for you. Thank you again for having us all
at Christmas and thank you so much for the return of both my sand shoes and
camera case.
Best wishes,

Six friends were looking for a venue for our 8th Australian wine tasting
trip. We wanted a place with comfort and atmosphere. This was it...roomy
cool rooms (stood up to a 40 degree day!), wide verandas and surrounded by
vineyards. Wendy Jane sent us a customised
tour and vineyards plan that all
worked out exceptionally well. Here is a motel and local travel adviser and
gourmet consultant rolled into one. Wendy-Jane and her staff truly
understood the meaning of service, and no matter what our need, they were
there for us. The very economic 3 day package included a BBQ supplied for
late arrivers, and a final morning cooked breakfast. Strongly recommend
Neila's restaurant in town. . . .
Oh, and Wendy, ta for sending through the make up...it arrived today...Enjoy
the jams and honey. Hi to Maree and Ken....I noticed Motel for sale...I hope
it hasn't run you off your feet, and that your speed is more moderate on
average. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

Subject: Our Lovely Weekend
Wendy – just a quick note to say how much we all enjoyed our weekend at your
motel. We shall certainly come back, and will definitely tell our friends. We
didn’t feel like being in a motel – we felt like we were guests at a friend’s
home.
Best wishes

Lovely setting, generous rooms, but above all, very friendly, helpful hosts. Earlier this year, we stayed at one of the "Motel-chain" establishments downtown Cowra - at about the same rate no match at all to the family-run Vineyard Motel!
With our best regards,

Published Comment: "We left our run too late and found that all the rooms were booked. However, we received great service with a referral to a nearby alternative and were successful. This just reinforces the very positive reputation that the Vineyard Motel enjoys. We have used it previously which is why we were keen to return."

My stay at the Vineyard
Motel was most enjoyable. I was very impressed with the vista, the room, the
courtesy of both the Host and the Hostess and particularly with the lovely cool
room during the heatwave.
