Mixed review - 1st staff member we met was extremely welcoming and informative. Room was large and comfortable - typical of it's era - bare brick walls etc. Very happy with cleanliness and motel was located in a good spot on main street but our room was behind the street so was lovely and quiet for sleeping. Old analogue TV... More

My name is Gala, I checked into the Goolwa Central Motel for 4 days after my wedding in May 2011.I was given the honeymoon suite and it was a delightful, very spacious room with SPA and a wall size mirror that made the room even bigger. Hosts were aware that we are new weds and they congratulated us on arrival... More

Not sure how I can write a review before I have actually stayed at the hotel..but this is based on the direct dealings and customer service I have just had with this awful motel. 3 weeks ago I booked 3 nights accommodation over the easter weekend. It was for a family apartment and was to be my husband and I... More

My wife and I got married last month at a vineyard not far from Goolwa. When we were planning the wedding, we sought a local hotel to recommend to our friends and family. Something not too expensive but convenient. The Goolwa Central Motel was convenient (though overpriced it's cheaper than the only other alternative) so we recommended it to our... More

accommodation excellent but very uncomfortable experience with hostess who was unwelcoming, arrogant and actively rude to all of our wedding party. She was disorganised and unprofessional in her dealings with customers. It was the only Irish hotel i've known where the Irish were not welcome.

The motel was clean and the rooms adequate, but the front office staff (? owners) were very rude and unhelpful when we made even simple requests - such as an extra key (because there were 2 couples sharing the room) or extra face washers (provided only one for 4 people) - these are only a couple of examples of what...

On our way to Adelaide we stayed here overnight in February 2010. This hotel provides basic accommodation. The room was quite spacious but dated and tired. Breakfast was no more than some bread in the refrigerator. For an overnight stay it is OK, don’t expect more.

We stayed at the Goolwa Central Motel for one night in January 2010 on our way to Melbourne. We checked in late and had to wait ages for someone to come to reception to greet us. The room was fine for an overnight stay, just what you'd expect from a roadside motel; clean but basic. The bed was incredibly soft,... More

Family room with seperate room containing two single beds although the double bed was in the lounge area which seemed a bit strange. The room itself was very large, clean, and had enough in the cupbord to make tea and a light breakfast. There is a very small pool but it was freezing, even our 17 year old chickened out!... More
