“Motel Goolwa strikes me as a practical choice for those exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula. Its location provides easy access to Goolwa's shops and dining, and the updated rooms offer a comfortable base, plus the in-house cafe serves local coffee which is always a treat. I'd say this motel nicely balances convenience and comfort for a stay in Goolwa.”
