This two-storey motel on the clifftops above the Onkaparinga River mouth wins points for enthusiasm: the new owners are doing a great job of reviving what was a weary old motel, renovating rooms with beachy colours and adding new blinds, carpets and beds. The upstairs rooms have fab sunset views; downstairs are larger apartments. Bike hire per day $15.
