マグダラ モーターロッジ & レイクサイド レストラン(Magdala Motor Lodge & Lakeside Restaurant)

Beautiful motel surrounds with bush and lake views. Restaurant meals were delicious and well priced and good wine list. Had a standard room with Microwave, Toaster, Kettle, cups, water glasses (no wine glasses or cutlery) other than teaspoons or Toiletries other than hand and body wash (don't forget to pack your own if booking a standard roon) Very comfortable beds.

I took a friend to the Magdala Motor Lodge to check in Saturday night, and the receptionist effectively implied that the friend was a prost*****. The receptionist then repeatedly asked me if I had taken “a woman” there four months ago, saying that he remembered me, and implying that I was involved in something shameful. My friend is not a prost*****, and I have literally never been to the Magdala Motor Lodge before. (I have lived in the town for a year and he might have recognised me from the town.) Apparently they think it is fine to effectively defame customers and imply things that false about their customers. I have never experienced such incompetent and arrogant customer service in a hotel/motel before.

I only chose this place because I wanted to enjoy a nice warm relaxing spa. It looked good. I tried to fill the spa, but no hot water. I rang reception. "Are you sure you're using the right tap?". He insisted I was wrong anyway, that there was plenty of hot water, but he didn't have any time to look into it further. I tried running the hot a few more times, but had to give up and have a (short) cold shower before bed. I was so disappointed. There are lots of motels along that ***** of highway. I bet the rest of them could at least provide a hot shower even if not a spa.... I'd give this place zero for service as well as zero for its hot water.

Loved the lake out the back and the ducks who came to visit - very lovely and peaceful

Given that is off the main highway the property is set back from the road and is so quiet and peaceful. The owners are friendly and easy to talk with. I will be going back again. It is a very relaxing property.

I had a call on my day off from my manager to see if I would work my regular hours in Stawell the next day. I agreed and set off for a 2.5hr drive for Stawell a place I have never been before. The company I worked for set up my accomodation and when I arrived here I was greeted by Robert at the front desk. He was amazing at check in and we had a very nice chat. The room I had was spacious had a spa bath and lakeside views with a balcony type sliding door to exit from and enjoy the view of lake and have a walk around. Next was the restaurant, again it had lakeside views, was cosy and the ambiance was just right for me (e.g music wasn’t loud, enough space between guests to not feel overcrowded in the room, dimmed lighting and natural light coming through the floor to ceiling windows surrounding the restaurant absolutely stunning!) Taylor my server as well as Robert (they interchanged throughout courses) were friendly and accommodating. The menu was a small pub style menu, definitely a win though the food was better than a regular pub. I can’t say enough about this place, I could go on for hours about what I liked and for a spontaneous trip I would definitely come here again just to experience it all over again.

Need to put work in to spa . Beds was to hard towel rail comeing off wall .

The owners went above and beyond! The Restaurant was amazing, the setting so beautiful

Very comfortable and enjoyable experience
