Lovely stay with friendly staff.”

Clean and spacious room, Lovely setting, Friendly staff

As a regular traveller between Victor Harbor and Melbourne, I enjoyed my stay at The Magdala Motel. Set back from the noisy Western Highway, the road traffic could hardly be heard. The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The restaurant provided a good comprehensive menu, although a little noisy as there was a large function booked in on my stay. Staff were very friendly and the deck overlooking the lake was lovely to sit on with a quiet drink. The swans and ducks were also very friendly! Thanks for the stay. Happy to recommend the Magdala Motor Lodge.

Clean and pleasant room but some let down”

The room was clean and surroundings quite pleasant. Had booked two nights through Agoda. Their voucher was for Deluxe Spa Suite and the benefits included breakfast. What we were offered was a standard room and a continental breakfast (juice, cereal, toast, jam and tea/ coffee) only, cooked breakfast would be extra charge. Pointed out the downgrade of the room from that on the voucher. The staff at the reception was more interested on what was on her computer rather than on the Agoda voucher. She attempted to blame it on Agoda. Pointed out their own site showing the room that we had booked at the price. Regarding breakfast, pointed out to her that the voucher did not state continental breakfast and the onus would be on them to state clearly what was offered. She tried to look for some fine print on the voucher stating continental breakfast but she could not. No attempt was made by the lady at the reception (or the Manager the following day) to correct their mistake or offer an apology.

Quite close to Stawell center, much closer than I thought. There's a pretty big lake there, didn't get to see any animals other than ducks tho, probably because it's winter. Place is huge, enjoyed the basketball court and trampoline. Room has back door overlooking the lake. The coin dryer was acting up when I need it but staffs helped me out with their in-house dryer. All good, definitely recommend!
