Halls Gap Hostels

We only stayed one night but the location was worth a longer visit. The motel is located on the outskirts of Halls Gap which was a busy little village the day we visited however it was bliss to stay in the open spaces of the Grampions Motel being overlooked by the Grampions The room we stayed in was a large room with limited kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and bedding, the bathroom has a shower over the spa bath. There was a table and a seating area in the room. There was plenty of space to wander around and enjoy the visits for the local wildlife. We ate dinner in the restaurant which was reasonably priced with a pub style menu. The food was good. There is a bar available for the purchase of drinks to enjoy either sitting on the sunny balcony ot around the cosy fire in the cooler months.

Excellence and comfort. Large space with table and chairs for dining. Lady at reception was very helpful with ease of checking in. We had use of laundry and breakfast facilities if we wanted it. Unfortunately no evening dining so went to local restaurant nearby. Suggest you book for local restaurants. Very busy town. Would recommend to anyone looking for cleanliness and accessible to local sights.

Made to feel very welcome. The bed was comfortable and TV excellent. However, the patio area had been neglected with a dirty table, animal droppings on the grass and full of weeds. The position and views are great but some TLC is required.

Sadly this is not a Motel I would recommend staying at when visiting Halls Gap. The positives - Great communication from the Manager Kelly who from the moment we booked provided ample information about the property and it's surrounds. We were told our room was upgraded from a budget room to a Superior room which we were very excited about as I read on the Hotel Web page that the superior rooms had recently been renovated. The shower was nice and hot and had great pressure and the towels were fresh and clean but that is were the positive finished. We arrived late (9pm) and were leaving early the next morning (6.30am) so it was really just a place to lay our head for the night but the room was far from inviting. The carpet was badly stained with brown marks especially at the front door, the room had a funny oder (potentially because it was a 'pet friendly' room). We were travelling with our dog and paid $15 extra for the privilege eventhough this was not made clear on the booking.com web page which we booked on. I later found it was mentioned on the Gariwerd Motel booking page but we did not book on this. A suggestion would be to add it to the booking.com page too. The bathroom sink had a big black curly hair in it, the toilet door did not close properly and there is no exhaust fan in the bathroom so the entire room fogs up and condensation runs down the walls when you have a shower. It was freezing cold when we arrived so of course the first thing we needed to do was put the heating on. This ended up being a 20 minute process. After following instructions given, resetting the machine, cleaning the filters (which were caked in dust - picture provided) we finally got it working. Now I am not in the habit of writing negative reviews. Infact, I think this is my first trip advisor review ever but I felt compelled to write as I had read such good reviews about the Motel and in particular the emphasis on the cleanliness of the rooms. Sadly this is not what we experienced at all. I can't seem to upload pictures onto this link but will try and add them to the official Trip Advisor page.

Cabin has everything you need!!! Room was cozy and clean, there was a pantry with pots, pans, utensils - home was also very conveniently located to the city centre! Spotted many wild kangaroos too!

Last weekend we stayed at Grampians View Cottages and Units. The unit 3 that we were assigned was fabulous. It was spotlessly clean, sumptuous crisp bed in a separate bedroom, lounge area and table and chairs, handy kitchen and utensils, beautiful clean shower and a separate toilet. All appliances worked and on a cool night the heater was very efficient. We travelled to Halls Gap for a Birthday Function at the Hotel which was almost across the road. Perfect position. The facilities look abundant for a family holiday with a bar b q area and tennis court. Roaming kangaroos and loads of spacious lawned area would make this a delightful place to stay. The owners were pleasant and welcoming. I highly recommend this venue for your long or short stay in Halls Gap area.

What can you say. We had to ask for toilet paper, yes toilet paper, a tea towel, and a sponge(the one there was gross - well used). We were told 5 other rooms also asked for toilet paper. 2 1/2 hrs later, I went to the office to get the toilet paper. Dead flies on the carpet and in the bathroom, fireplace full of old ash which left smoke smell thru the cottage, mould in the grout in the bath, soup scum on the spa jets(obviously not now going to use the spa). But great bed and hot water. Certainly, this place is becoming run down, and the managers reason was -'it's the staffs fault!'. Even the inground pool was black, not green. Funny, one of the Halls Gap locals knows some staff and has a different storey. And to top it off, someone took our firewood and paper on Saturday, so no open fire for us. Think twice before you book this place. Our outdoor BBQ had no grill plate and was very rusty. Certainly not usable.
