Flinders Ranges Motel

Flinders Ranges


Alongside an improbably photogenic old mill building at the southern end of Quorn's main street (fronting onto a not-so-photogenic gravel car park), these 12 simple, cream-and-magenta motel rooms are good bang for your buck. Some of them are set up as small dorms for those with distressed wallets. No frills.
