Motel Goolwa

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Centrally located in the heart of the town, the Goolwa Central Motel is the perfect place to base your next getaway. Situated on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula, Goolwa is the gateway to everything this world-renowned region has to offer. It is where the Murray River meets the Southern Ocean and is the type of holiday destination where you will make memories to last a lifetime.

Good sized rooms

Reviewed By AllanJane_11

Our stay was enhanced by the size of the room, comfortable bed and leather couch to sit and read or watch T.V. The room was well presented and clean. We liked the separate sink for kettle water and washing cups and glasses. There were challenges with the WiFi, but unfortunately there are many parts of Australia with poor Wi Fi and I expectGoolwa is one of them. Prior to Goolwa we had been on Kangaroo Island where WiFi is almost non existent. We had breakfast in the cafe attached to the motel, it provided an adequate meal, staff were pleasant.

Marine Cove Resort

None

Reviewed By chrisminchin

rooms were immaculate there is a great spa and sauna facility.! Sandra and Jason are wonderful managers. One small way to improve would be to accurately level the pool lounge. perhaps in the information you could spell out the way to log out of netflix :-) we rarely do that and it took a long time to work it out

A Very Relaxing Few Days

Reviewed By Andrew B

We stayed in Studio 1 which is sensationally located over the water in the heart of a marina. The Studio was spotless & very well appointed, & was so quiet & tranquil. It's a casual 15 minute river front stroll to great dining & shopping & a short drive to Victor Harbor, wineries & more. The hosts, Bec & Peter were sensational, very friendly and accommodating. Oh, & you'll love the resident mascot Carl the Carp! Goolwa is a favourite place for us, & now we have a favourite place there to stay.
