West Beach is an ideal destination for beach and outdoor travelers. You can enjoy the sandy shores and water activities at West Beach itself, while also engaging in recreational options like golf at West Beach Parks Golf and mini-golf at West Beach Mini Golf. Nearby, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre offers a venue for various events, and you can explore the shopping options at Harbour Town Adelaide, which is also close by.

"Hotel itself was nice and clean. Room was modern and well equipped. Only downside was the pillows. Not supportive and uncomfortable. Also, expect a lot of the noise from the street. Being so close to the hospital means regular ambulances at all hours."
