Spotlessly clean, very nice owners, huge rooms, large comfy beds, excellent shower, very quiet and well equipped. The only thing not great was patchy WiFi which could be improved. Overall loved it and would definitely stay again.

Wow - charming cottage with open log fire (already prepared - just light it using the matches provided). Very cosy.
Kangaroos outside, emus down the drive and flocks of white cockatoos and other birds all around.
Stayed one night on way from Great Ocean Road to Adelaide, Wish we could have stayed longer

Good place to stay when visiting the Grampians National Park region. Room was comfortable, spa Bath in the generously proportioned bathroom.
Each room looks out onto a man-made "lake", with a few black swans and numerous ducks and other wildfowl.
Housekeeping daily if required, or you can put the Do not disturb hanger on your door if you don't want housekeeping to clean your room.
There was some noise from the Western highway, but not too bad, as the Motel is set-back a reasonable distance...

Stayed here 2 nights as cheaper than Halls Gap (20 mins away) when we booked - simple accomodation with friendly and helpful management. The fresh milk and shortbread biscuits were a welcome touch. Restaurant was closed (Sunday and Monday night) when we visited but a new smart Macdonalds is 3 minute walk away. Didn't try the pool which is smallish.
