“Halls Gap Treat”
Location was perfect with easy access to the town (walking distance); room was spacious with plenty of storage space, crockery, cutlery, microwave, jug and toaster; beds were very comfortable, bathroom had plenty of room for toiletries with a separate toilet - always a bonus - excellent water pressure in the shower and soft clean towels. Even had a shower stool available for our visit. Great TV and well situated. Staff were exceptional … very welcoming and friendly with great advice for visitors on places to see, the best eateries and local interest. They also had games/activities on loan for children! It is lovely to see wildlife roaming outside your door and just relax in such a tranquil setting. We will definitely be returning and have, in fact, already booked!

“A very enjoyable stay made even better by the owner/managers.”
Had a lovely room at the back of the property with parking outside the door. We had kangaroos and parrots just outside the door on both evenings. Very knowledgeable owners to point us in the right direction for trips out. The views from the top of the mountain lookout are not to be missed.

“The Gariwerd Motel Review”
It was a 10 to 15 minute walk to town, it was on the main road but fairly quiet, managers were helpful and friendly plus pet friendly 😀

“Great value base for exploring Halls Gap”
This property was exactly what it promised in the description. Great value, low on frills but big on comfort and service. It was super close to town and trail heads, the managers could not have been more welcoming and the beds were fantastic.
