Peninsula Hotel Motel has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a restaurant and bar in Adelaide. The property is around 1.6 km from Largs Beach, 2.8 km from Snowden Beach and 5.8 km from South Australian Maritime Museum. Free WiFi and an ATM are available.

Absolutely lovely place. Clean, bright, good location to train station, which ran straight into Adelaide CBD. Also Largs, which is a beautiful beach. The pool was heated, and the gym was neat and all in working order. The bar is lovely, big and friendly staff. All the staff are so friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were huge, and felt very new. Good amount of tea and coffee supplied. Fridge was a good size. Extra pool towels were supplied. The bed was huge and very comfortable. TV in the room was also big. I would recommend this place.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.
