Poachers Paradise was very nice and the manager was great. Unfortunately, I had to cut my stay short by one day due to extreme weather causing the sports event that I was in Rutherglen for to be cancelled. The manager graciously offered to refund one night's stay but was unable to do so due to the wotif payment system. I found this disappointing. Happy to discuss. Ed

Poachers Paradise is a fabulous motel. The owners are very friendly and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Parking is right outside your room. The motel is a minute's walk from the centre of town. What a lovely place Rutherglen is. There are a few bars and restaurants and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. There are also plenty of shops and cafes. Thoroughly recommend both the Poachers Paradise Motel and Rutherglen. Ask in the hotel bar on the main street why it's called the Poacher's Paradise.
