Adelaide Granada Motor Inn
An indoor pool ten minutes from the koalas at Cleland
About this stay
The indoor pool is the reason to pick this one over a plainer motel on the same stretch of road, useful on the Adelaide Hills days when the weather will not cooperate with an outdoor swim. Cleland National Park, home to koalas and kangaroos, sits a ten-minute taxi away, close enough for a half-day wildlife outing without committing the whole itinerary to the drive. The on-site Mexican restaurant covers a dinner without needing the car again after a day out, and the guest kitchen means breakfast does not depend on a nearby café opening on time. Free parking and free Wi-Fi are standard here, with a kitchen in some rooms for families wanting to self-cater at least part of the stay.

Our take
This works for a family heading to Cleland National Park who want an indoor pool as backup and do not want to drive again for dinner. The Mexican restaurant on site is a genuine convenience after a day chasing kangaroos, and the guest kitchen helps with breakfast for early starts. It is a motor inn rather than a resort, so anyone wanting a spa or a view should look further into the Hills.
- ✓Book the Cleland National Park taxi for morning, the koalas and kangaroos are more active before midday heat.
- ✓Use the indoor pool on the wetter Adelaide Hills days rather than waiting for outdoor weather.
- ✓Eat at the Mexican restaurant the night before an early Cleland start, it saves a dinner-time drive.

Why guests love itAdelaide Granada Motor Inn is a practical 3-star base for a family heading up to see the koalas: Cleland National Park is about ten minutes by taxi. The indoor pool is a good fallback on a wet afternoon, a guest kitchen and kitchens in some rooms help with meals, and the Mexican restaurant on site covers dinner. Parking is free. Guests rate it 7.4 across 546 reviews. My editorial advice: go to Cleland early in the morning and keep the pool for later.
