Rest and Relax at Yorke Peninsula

Yorke Peninsula is a peninsula located north-west and west of Adelaide in South Australia. It has laidback lifestyle feeling and you will get to see people fishing, surfing and picnic. It is an ideal place to take a break from the hectic work or an ideal place for retirement. Driving around Yorke Peninsula, you will see retirement village and elderly sitting in their garden reading newspaper. It is such a peaceful town.

As Yorke Peninsula is surrounded by the coastline, most of the hotels or motels are situated near the sea. The view is awesome. During our period of stay at Yorke Peninsula, we stayed at two different hotels or motels. They are not luxurious but they are  definitely value for money, clean and well maintain.

1.  Wallaroo Marina Apartments
Address: 11 Heritage Drive Wallaroo SA

There are a lot of private residential and yachts at this area. It is a peaceful, and relaxing town. Really an ideal place for retirement.











When we step into Wallaroo Marina Apartments, nothing special caught our attention. It seems like any other hotel we stayed. However, what surprise us was when we pull open the curtain in the room, the sea view. Booking a room with sea view has always been expensive in most countries. Hence, never did we thought that we can enjoy the sea view in Australia.


The suite was big and the toilet was clean as well. Wallaroo Marina Apartments has a bigger room suitable for family and it even comes with kitchenette. This is one of the best apartment we have stayed in Australia till date.

2. Marion Bay Motel 

Address: Jetty Road, Marion Bay SA 5575, Australia

Perhaps to a lot of Asian, the understanding of motel is that it is rundown, does not have much facilities etc. However, in Australia, motel does not necessary be rundown. In fact, I am impressed by the maintenance of the motel. Marion Bay Motel is situated near the jetty. Hence, you can enjoy the sunset by walking along the jetty. It is beautiful.

Marion Bay Motel comes with all the basic things you need. There is a queen bed, tea & coffee making facilities, hair dryer, bar fridge. free parking etc. And most importantly, the toilet is very clean. I am really impressed by the maintenance. Marion Bay Motel also has a restaurant where you can order room service or dine in the restaurant. It is also within a short driving distance to the Innes National Park.
