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.
