Kookaburra Motor Lodge | Hotel in Halls Gap, Victoria

“Staff were good on the phone. I never met them in person. There should be a height clearance limit on the entry to see if vehicles can fit under. Also the bathroom door did not shut properly. The room was great. The outdoor area out the back of room was old and rundown. Not very inviting. Also some lighting out the front at night for late entry’s would be helpful.”

“Lovely little place central to town. A bit rundown and not many amenities in the room, but good for the price and the views are superb”

“The room was very average at best. Old, tired and looked like it hadn't seen a bit of maintenance for years. The pictures on the web site must have been taken with filters because they didn't show the stains in the carpet or the absolute filth of the bathroom. There was so much mould in the shower, and on the ceiling above it, that I don't think it has been cleaned for over 2 years. Bed was uncomfortable and all the bedding should have been replaced years ago, along with all the rest of the furniture in the room. The outside appearance of the place is pretty poor, with not one bit of pride taken in what people would think when they arrive. You are greeted in the entrance by a metre or so plant in a pot that looks like it has been dead for a year or so. The grass is overgrown and the paved areas have more weeds than pavers. Unfortunately I couldn't ever bring myself to recommend this place to anyone.”

“We enjoyed our stay at Kookaburra but the property needed some maintenance and there was some rubbish lying around especially around the BBQ area.”

“The motel is located right in town close to cafes, hotels and breweries. It has a wonderful outlook over paddocks towards the hills. However the hotel is run down and in need of work. Our room was not ready for us an hour after the advertised time for registering. Our bathroom was not cleaned properly - a used, wet face-washer and a half empty shampoo bottle was left in the shower. There was significant mould in the shower. We requested a room service the second day of our stay but that was "missed" by the staff, who did provide replacement towels etc. when asked. To be fair the rest of our room was clean, spacious and well laid out. Cigarette buts near the front and rear doors of our room were not a good look. Our room was quiet.”

“Generally clean. Bathroom mouldy. Bottom sheet didn't cover mattress. TV wonky and wouldn't straighten. Sliding flyscreen covered in cobwebs and outdoor areas messy. A simple tidy up on door and pathways would've made a difference to appearances. On the positive, bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy. Great location!!! Don't think we'll stay here again though.”

“Easy close walk to town and trail heads. Lovely view from patio over pasture and hills.”

“Comfortable and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Short walk to main street with lots of food choices. Great base for exploring the national park. The garden view room had the pleasant surprise of a family of kangaroos feeding in the afternoon. Saw many cockatoos and rosellas and heard kookaburras singing ”

“The lodge has a comfy bed with a heated blanket and amazing views, as well as decent amenities too. Though it looked like the room hadn’t been vacuumed, the kettle had old water in it, and we only had a quarter of a toilet roll left. Despite the age of the place and the minor disappointments, it was a good 1 night stay with a convenient location.”

“Close to Centre walking distance, spacious, clean, love the mountain view saw kangaroos and cockatoos, great property to stay”
