Comfortable and lovely outlook.

Staff were good on the phone. I never met them in person. There should be a height clearance limit on the entry to see if vehicles can fit under. Also the bathroom door did not shut properly. The room was great. The outdoor area out the back of room was old and rundown. Not very inviting. Also some lighting out the front at night for late entry’s would be helpful.

Lovely little place central to town. A bit rundown and not many amenities in the room, but good for the price and the views are superb

The location is perfect central to shopping and restaurants. Set in beautiful surroundings. Layout of buildings very good but rooms need refurbishing especially bathrooms. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Great location. Clean enough but facilities are dated and could do with upgrading.

This property is conveniently located and parallels the main street so it is a short walk to the Halls Gap shops but still nice and peaceful. It was a little small and quite dated, which was probably reflected in the price. It had everything we needed but we would likely choose somewhere different to stay next time we’re in Halls Gap just to give ourselves a bit more room to spread out as we had a few days of inclement weather so did spend more time indoors than we planned.

The motel is centrally located and handy to shops and walking trails. Our room had all of the standard accessories, soap, dish cloth, tissues, shampoo, conditioner and appeared clean from a quick glance but a closer inspection showed mould on the bathroom ceiling and cobwebs under the sink/vanity. The carpet at the entrance is very stained. The wifi works well. The TV was attached to the wall and on a strange angle. There was no bath mat and the towels were very thin. On the second day we requested a bath mat that was delivered after the manager inspected the room and was unable to locate one.The heating had a hard time keeping the room warm so the electric blankets were appreciated. The bathroom door does not shut as it jams before closing. The towel rails in the bathroom collapse when trying to hang your towel on them. The cereal bowel has a chip on the edge that appears very sharp. The bed was comfortable and appeared clean. I would advise against using the BBQ area as it was filthy and surrounded by rubbish. On our checkout day the water was shut off at 9am. There was no notification from management that this would happen. It resulted in the toilet no longer flushing and we were unable to fill our kettle for a morning coffee. I assume some guests may have been suprised mid shower. Overall, this is budget accommodation that is convenient to the shops and walks and requires renovations, maintenance and cleaning.

Heater on 30, only took the chill off the room. Electric blanket burnt out at the switch. Bathroom door would not close. Freezer completely iced up and unusable. Lights with blown globes. Went to talk to them and closed at 10am Monday morning. Left a note and nobody has bothered to contact me.

They are very welcoming owners, but that is where it stops, unfortunately. Very dated rooms. Very dated furniture Carpet and couches were disgusting The bathroom has not been cleaned properly for a very long time! With thick dust that has been there for at least a couple of years. Still old bars of soap on the top shower railing from previous guests No ventilation, so mould on the windows and ceiling. We only stayed one night, otherwise if we had booked longer, i would have cancelled. Sorry for the bad review, but it's not to a standard a motel should be.

It was great and exactly comfortable
