a decent motel in Adelaide (most are mired
in the ’90s’), but this one makes a reason-
able fist of the the new century. It’s smallish,
friendly, affordable and in a beaut location –
handy for forays north to the Barossa, Clare,
Flinders etc.

including tennis courts and a palm-fringed
cricket oval. Apartments are in the restored

A compact, no-frills park on the River Tor-
rens, rather surprisingly slotted in on a
quiet street 2km northeast of the city centre.
Clean and well run, with a bit of green grass
if it’s not too far into summer.

$159/199;p) Wow, what a surprise! In the
otherwise subdued beach suburb of Largs
Bay, 5km north of Port Adelaide, is this
130-year-old, three-storey wedding-cake
hotel. A bucket of money has been poured
into it over recent years, and it’s looking
great: sky-high ceilings, big beds, taupe-and-
chocolate colours and beach views. There’s
also a low-slung wing of motel rooms off to
one side, and apartments across the street.Glenelg ̈Beach ̈Hostel ̈ HOSTEL$

of streets back from the beach, this beaut
old terrace (1879) is Adelaide’s budget gold-
en child. Fan-cooled rooms maintain period
details and are bunk-free. There’s cold Coop-
ers in the basement bar (live music on week-
ends), open fireplaces, lofty ceilings, girls-
only dorms and a courtyard garden. Book
waaay in advance in summer.Seawall ̈Apartments ̈ APARTMENTS$$$

paW) Readers recommend this reno-
vated row of old houses, a five-minute wan-
der along the sea wall from Mosely Sq in
Glenelg. They really didn’t need a gimmick −
the location seals the deal − but the facades
are festooned with kitsch nautical parapher-
nalia (nets, boats, oars, shark jaws...). Inside
the apartments are roomy, contemporary
and immaculate.Adelaide ̈Shores ̈ CARAVANPARK$

Beach dunes with a walking/cycling track
extending to Glenelg (3.4km) in one direc-
tion and Henley Beach (3.5km) in the other,
this is a choice spot in summer. There are
