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.

Comfortable beds. Lovely warm room. Very effective heating. Ground floor motel unit with parking outside. Towels too small. Bathroom kitchen and toilet area urgently needs an upgrade. Lovely cafe attached to motel. Great location in main street Goowla. Hard to find and not well light up if you arr new to Goowla and come in at night in the dark.

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.

Good for an overnight stopover
Rather brusque reception and an in-room guide with extensive instructions on what not to do. Interesting building which resembles an old army barracks. Ample parking outside in the courtyard. Huge room with plenty of space to unpack and store. Aging carpets and curtains. Good location intown centre with proximity to cafes and restaurants.
