We really enjoyed our stay here - rooms are relatively basic but loved the heated blanket feature! Super convenient for the town of Halls Gap - everything was in walking distance there. And then easy drives to main hike / trail spots.

Clean room, efficient check in and an excellent view of the mountains just outside!! Could greatly benefit from room servicing where they didn’t bother to even make up the bed or do a minimum clean up which was quite disappointing. Overall a good budget stay in Halls Gap. The views beat all other minor shortcomings.

The property is in a great location and the room was clean with the usual amenities. On the down side the outside gardens and rear patios are overgrown and unkept. The BBQ area and around the managers residence was also untidy with rubbish bins half full of water etc., the whole property needs some regular maintenance outside. The property manager/owner was nowhere to be found for our stay of 2 nights, a phone call on our arrival was our only contact.

Do not believe any of the positive reviews. The shower was leaking, the rooms stank. The place is unkept and in disrepair. I complained to the management and they didn’t care. Do not stay here.

Walkable to everything, nice motel set off from Main Street. Lovely outdoor patio overlooking mountains and wildlife/farms was perfect for a morning cup of tea. Checkin in easy and friendly. Perfect for a 1-2 night stay. Simple and efficient

This is a dated motel with worn furnishings and inconsistent cleaning. Probably a 7.6 or so out of 10. The vanes on the heater had been knocked closed. So the room was drafty and cold until we figured out what was wrong. One half of the queen bed heating mattress pad did not work. The shower would not fully shut off, so we kept the toilet door closed to muffle the sound. The twin bed mattress heater was installed you had to run its power cord across the room at shin height. When we check in, the towels in our room were worn and frayed to the point where they resembled mechanics shop rags. We were given better towels when we raised the issue. We stayed for 3 nights and did not receive any housekeeping. On the plus side, the shower had good pressure and even sufficent hot water considering it was never fully off. The location is nearly ideal and close to the better restaurants. Over all, this property would have difficulty competing if it were not for its location. Ask for a room that over looks the pasture and not the street.

Location was convenient to downtown Halls Gap. Out the back sliding door was pasture land with sheep as well as kangaroos in the evening. The restaurants were within walking distance and the food was great. When for a hike the next morning to Fish Falls. It was very pretty. Would not recommend the hike for those with mobility issues. Very steep stairs and uneven ground.
