A family with 2 young kids just stayed here for 4 nights. We found it a pleasant stay. The room is basic but has everything. The beds and pillows were in the right firm which I loved. It's a contactless service but I was promptly informed by the hosts before arrival and after check-in. Both hosts were lovely in person. Just follow the timetable at the reception to borrow books /DVDs and games. I would recommend this motel to others.

This Motel is just beautiful! It’s so quiet and serene. You have kangaroos and bird life right out your door. The staff/owners are amazing they’re kind, friendly, helpful, informative and super accommodating. There is plenty of parking spaces, it’s walkable to town and all you need is close by including shops, hikes, swimming pool, bushwalks and waterfalls. We stayed in the back rooms which were lovely, they were clean, had cutlery, plates, bowls, mugs and even wine glasses. Dishwashing liquid, tea towel and a cloth was also provided (which no other places do). The bed was actually very comfortable, I unfortunately suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis so was extremely appreciative of them providing a good quality mattress and base. Some might struggle with the shower, so anyone taller than 6ft (I just fit under it) will have slight trouble as it’s not adjustable, well it wasn’t in our room anyway. I honestly did not want to leave this Motel I was that happy there. The peace and surroundings are heaven. Huge thank you to Kelly, David and Tony. Can’t wait to come back again in December…..Hurry up December!!!!

Excellent clear & fun communication from the motel, close to town, really nice room with amazing value for money, quiet, electric blanket kept me toasty on chilly nights, the shower was really good (huge shower head, good water pressure), kangaroos & kookaburras all around, and Kelly was lovely to talk to & had great local knowledge & tips. Highly recommend!

Great for our short stay
What this motel lacks in 'up to date-ness' it makes up for in cleanliness and friendliness. Communications about our booking were great, more than we've had from anywhere else. Very friendly emails and a cracking guest guide on the website. Check-in is still contactless but easy thanks to the welcome email/text that we had. Walking into the room was a bit like going back in time, decor and bathroom fittings very dated but everything was very clean and the room had everything that we needed. The air-con/heating unit was very modern, efficient and quiet. Plentiful hot water. Located slightly out of town which meant it was nice and quiet but only a short walk to restaurants and cafes.

Horrible Night's Sleep
We booked a cheap, last-minute stay and that's exactly what we got. Hard bed, flat pillows and thin walls made for a horrible night's sleep. Decent location and AC, however, we will not be returning.

For the modest price we didn't expect luxury, and with that in mind this motel didn't disappoint. The bed an pillow were comfortable, the room was clean, there was a comfy two-person sofa, a fridge-freezer, microwave, electric jug and toaster, as well as a small carton of milk in the fridge. There was a decent selection of instant coffee and tea, an extendable table and two chairs. We got good reception on the TV as well. The bottom of the shower recess showed wear, and I didn't really like the shower head. Also no hand soap was provided in the shower - only shampoo. But for the price, we were pretty happy.

Great spot in halls gap, walking distance from shops and plenty of space around The motel to walk around Had basic amenities like microwave, bar fridge etc Lots of bugs but to be expected when you’re out in the Grampians. Pretty cool to see heaps of kangaroos around the property too

Halls Gap miss adventure
It’s the first time I’ve ever stayed at a Hotel/ Motel where your interaction with the staff is absolutely ZERO. Didn’t see any staff at check in or check out. No one came to clean the room, make the bed, or even empty the rubbish bin.

Located a few minutes' walk from the centre of Halls Gap. Very well located for the numerous walking trails in Halls Gap. Very helpful staff. The room in the Gariwerd was clean and comfortable with good facilities. No hesitation in recommending this property
