If you want to be close to the beach and close to the main strip of Glenelg, then Taft is for you. It is about 2 blocks back from the beach (maybe a 3 min walk), and just off the main strip enough that you dont get all the noise. The Taft was quite basic, but clean. The bathroom was... More

We stayed here for 2 nights after a last minute decision to go to the beach and our usual haunts were fully booked. The couple who run the place are incredibly friendly and helpful without being overbearing and indeed all the staff seemed to constantly smile. The units are clean and well equipped and the main pool made a delightful... More

Have just arrived back in New Zealand after spending a week with friends at the Taft Motor Inn in Glenelg. We could not fault this place. The accommodation was great with our own kitchen facilities, great staff and the daily service for clean towels and anything else we required we just left a note and it was done. Very handy... More

The room was fine, asked for a quiet room and got the room right at the back. Nice to have a little kitchenette. However, during the night we were both woken up several times by very loud thunderess noises that were probably caused by rattling windows. There were trucks driving past and parked in front of our room at all... More

During our recent driving tour of South Australia and Victoria we found this was about the best accommodation we had. It could not be faulted in any way: location, friendliness, cleanliness (spotless!), layout, price, etc, etc. The beds and furnishuings generally were excellent. We would definitely always stay there and recommend it unreservedly to others.

We recently attended a wedding and were in need of accommodation for one night (a public holiday on the monday) and all the other hotels in glenelg wanted a 2 night minimum so they were good in the fact that we could just stay the one night. The rooms are a little outdated but ok for a quick place to... More

We were impressed by friendly service, lovely people, though slow to come to office through the day. Free continental breakfast (juice, cereal, toast) could come at a nominated time or the night before, which we preferred. We had 2 single beds (not needed) and only two chairs at the small dining table, which was all we needed, but one extra,... More

The accomodation was recently renovated but nothing exciting. The 2 bedroom we had came with a jacuzi but there's no door lock to the toilet! The beds were comfortable and the rooms come with remote control ceiling fan/light. The kitchen was reasonably size but the trash left by the previous occupant was not cleared. Otherwise, it is very near to... More
