What Plantagenet Hotel Motel Is
Plantagenet Hotel Motel is a historic country pub and motel located in Mount Barker — offering a combination of heritage charm, casual dining, and budget-friendly accommodation. Built between 1912 and 1914, it retains its federation-era character with distinctive carved apple-motif verandahs, open log fires, and a welcoming, rustic atmosphere.
Whether you’re travelling through the Great Southern, exploring the wine region, or simply looking for a laid-back place to stay and dine, Plantagenet delivers a genuine country-pub experience.
Services & Offerings
Plantagenet Hotel Motel features a full bar and bistro with hearty pub-style meals — think steaks, seafood, burgers and local regional wines — served in a warm, friendly setting with fireplaces and a relaxed lounge area.
For overnight stays, the motel offers modest, comfortable rooms. It serves as a practical base for travellers visiting surrounding attractions like vineyards, national parks, and coastal drives.
The Experience You Get
Walk in and you’ll be greeted with old-world charm, friendly staff, and the kind of welcoming hospitality you only find in small-town pubs. The historic building — with its carved wooden details and cozy fireplaces — gives you a sense of nostalgia and down-to-earth comfort. Locals and travellers alike gather at the bar or lounge after a long day, making it ideal for casual meals, laid-back drinks, or a night’s rest before continuing your journey.
Whether you’re eating, drinking, or resting, you’ll get a genuine country-pub vibe paired with practical value — all in one place.
Who It’s For
This voucher is perfect for:
- Road-trippers in need of affordable, convenient accommodation — especially those exploring the Great Southern region, wine country or nearby natural attractions.
- Visitors wanting a relaxed country-pub dining experience — hearty meals, local wines, and a cozy atmosphere.
- Couples, friends, or solo travellers looking for a no-fuss, budget-friendly stay with a touch of heritage charm.
- Anyone wanting to experience rustic hospitality and unwind in a laid-back setting without breaking the bank.
What Makes It Stand Out
Plantagenet Hotel Motel stands out because of its unique blend of history, rustic charm, and practicality — a combination you won’t always find. The building itself tells a story of the region’s past (notably its apple-orchard heritage), the warm fireplaces and wooden interiors boost the atmosphere, and the bar & bistro provide solid meals and drinks at good value.
This isn’t about luxury — it’s about authenticity, comfort, and humility. If you value character over pretension, easy-going vibes over polish, and a friendly pub-stay over a sterile hotel, this voucher will give you exactly that.
