We stayed in a comfortable upstairs room. The shower was good and the room neat and tidy, although the bed was rather soft for our tastes. Jack's cafe is a good place for breakfast and all the staff were friendly. The location on the main street is also convenient.

Okay overnight stayover motel

Great friendly customer service. Okay for an overnight stay, spacious and clean enough. However, since it was a little dated and dark decor it made the room feel like it was unclean. Bed manchester had some stains on the cover.

Motel Goolwa is in a good central location - close to restaurants and bars - and easily walkable to Goolwa wharf. The room was spacious and clean with good parking space. We enjoyed our breakfast at "Jack's place' (part of the motel) where we got a discount because we were staying there. Nice a friendly staff.
