Guest Reviews

• Sally (8/5): Very clean, comfortable, amentities were fantastic, new bathroom, and all the comforts you’d need. Fantastic for the pri - Woman in reception was fantastic, friendly and so helpful! We had been travelling all day and she was so helpful. The fridge made a loud rattling noise
• Kristy (10/5): -
• tim (8/5): would return - Been to a thousand hotel/motels and this was the quickest check in ever. TV controls a bit convoluted
• jason (7/5): -
• Birch (8/5): - The beds were tooooo hard
• Garth (8/5): Great place to stay - Location Nothing

• Shannon (10/5): -
• Susanne (10/5): Very peaceful. Staff were eager to make sure my stay was comfortable. - A great place to stay while you explore the region.
• Kiiok (8/5): - Cleanliness The quilt was tucked too low and the quilt cover falls off easily, the sheets are also not soft
• Shinichi (9/5): -
• Miranda (10/5): Clean and comfortable - The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and I was pleased the location of the room behind the reception area meant lttle disturbance from road traffic.
• Handsaker (8/5): -
• Shalmalee (9/5): -
• Kim (9/5): - Clean, very comfortable bed, nice sized rooms
• Adrian & Kirstie (8/5): Great place to say second time I’ve stayed there just would like water pressure to be fixed in the s - I had unit two. The only thing I would’ve liked was for the water pressure in the shower to be a bit better. There was not much water pressure and someone had parked their car in my spot to charge their car and I had to be up very early and I was leaving very early other than that. It’s a fantastic place and I will definitely stay there again. This is the second time I stay there. The water pressure wasn’t very good in the shower and someone had parked their car in my car spot to charge their electric car
• Nelson (10/5): You are doing great, good places , we sleep like babies. Happy to find that place. - The place looks renovated, clean and organised. Very comfortable beds, general appliances. The staff members were very kind. Quite place Good place to have a good rest during your trip. We took room number one. It's close to the main road, you could hear cars, but it was not an issue for us. Take a room away from the street.
• Emily (8/5): -
• Rachel (9/5): Lovely, very comfortable and has everything you need. Highly recommended. - Staff were great, and the room was very clean. The room exceeded our expectations, not that we knew what to expect, but we were very, very happy with it. It's not far from Lake Colac, so it was a lovely walk down to the lake and around the bird sanctuary. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended. We couldn't fault it.
• Phil (6/5): -
• Brian (9/5): -
• Elenius (10/5): - Great hosts, very clean and well equipped room
• Nishamal (5/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): - Rooms were well equipped and clean. Motel has easy off street parking. Breakfast is available and was delivered on time and hot. Guest laundry was a nice surprise and very much appreciated!
• Charles (8/5): Perfect for my requirements, would stay again - I only needed it as a place to crash for a night, and got there late (9pm) but for what I needed it was absolutely fine. Lovely room, nice and clean, good shower and I was given a carton of milk on arrival for coffee the following morning! I only had a quick walk around but IGA is 2 mins away and was open late, big Coles a 5 min walk the other way too. Nothing, did everything I needed.
• Diana (10/5): Really enjoyed my stay experience. Would recommend to others. - Location was very easy to find. Room was comfortable and clean. Plenty of clean towels. Very friendly staff. Plenty of fresh milk,tea bags,coffee,etc. Very cozy room.
• beverley (10/5): -
• Jess (10/5): Lovely staff. Clean room. Great location. 10/10. -
• Dan (1/5): we did not get to stay there because the hotel did not provide us with the room we booked - Unless it was some glitch related to booking.com systems (which is not very likely) I think that either the hotel staff overbooked their rooms on the night I reserved, or they are out of touch with the use of 21st century technology. The hotel has claimed there is no trace of the booking made under my name more than 1 month in advance, and refused to provide us with a room despite having 2 free rooms at 8 pm (even if they overbooked, since we were first to arrive, I suppose they could have given us the room and let the later coming customers deal with the additional inconvenience). I really thought they should be happy for us staying there for one night despite the hotel not being in a very popular location compared to the great ocean road area which most people visit, but we ended up disappointed. If you want to stay there, learn from our mistake and call the hotel some days in advance in advance to confirm that they will honor the booking you made.

The room looked recently renovated and was very fresh and clean. For a motel this was a great experience. Perfect for short stays, rooms would be too small for longer visits

• Diana (10/5): -
• ROBERTA (10/5): - Location ottima, vicina al lago e al centro città. Pulizia ottima, camera spaziosa e posto auto davanti alla camera. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Nulla da segnalare
• Greg (7/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): -
• maggie (10/5): Really really nice. - I loved the updated decor., the crockery that was Made in England. Quiet, clean, comfortable. Watching TV in bed, great bathroom, parking at the door, great for packing and unpacking at arrival time and departure time. Nothing. Easy to check in with pleasant lady at the desk and a lovely lady working in the garden.
• Bradley (8/5): -
• Janne (10/5): Very Clean, comfortable and helpful - The room was very clean and nicely presented. Due to delay in flight arrival and travel the owners made it very easy to access later in the evening. A bit of main road noise.
• Anne (8/5): -
• Kim (9/5): - Super clean staff was excellent
• Daniel (9/5): -
• Marisa (4/5): Room was ok, but no hair dryer and location was noisy. Needs better sound proofing. - The towels are great and fluffy No hair dryer in the room and no free biscuits like other motels provide
• Charmaine (7/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): -
• René (8/5): -
• Chia-Feng (10/5): -
• Ali (9/5): -
• Jeffery (10/5): Enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing stay. - The customer service was friendly and welcoming. Attentive when requiring any service or needing extra tea,coffee or milk in room. Modern facilities and excellent cleaning standards. Comfortable beds. Lovely garden area. Foxtel is available. N/A Nothing. Good quality motel.
• Shelley (9/5): Very clean and comfortable in a convenient location. - Convenient location, very friendly staff. Just a small thing, but some biscuits to have with my coffee would have been nice.
• Denis (10/5): - Appel pour mise à disposition de la chambre suite à une arrivée tardive après la fermeture de la réception suite au retard de notre vol. Chambre confortable et au calme bien que directement sur la rue principale (fin de l'autoroute M1) Rien, tout était parfait
• Anne (9/5): -
• teymouri (10/5): -
• Grant (10/5): Great location - Clean and comfortable
• Diane in Melbourne (10/5): Hidden gem in Colac. - This place is truly a hidden gem. From the outside, the motel appears very plain and basic but inside the room, you couldn't ask for more. Extremely clean room. Very comfortable bed with lovely linen and great pillows. A well-functioning heater that heated the room very quickly and wasn't noisy. Well-equipped kitchenette. Lovely modern bathroom. Good water pressure in the shower and gorgeous big fluffy towels. You can tell that every effort has been made to add those special extra touches for your comfort and convenience. I have stayed in many hotels and motels in Australia and overseas and it is rare for me to write such a glowing review. I do not hesitate to recommend the Otway Gate Motel. Nothing. I love staying here.
• Amanda (9/5): Very happy to stay here again. Location was excellent, room was clean and comfortable, power points were very welcome ne - the room we had was updated and very nicely renovated. Location to where we needed to be was very good. The bed was a bit hard- but that of course is personal opinion . The pillows could be renewed, I’d bring my own next time.
• Ng (1/5): Not a pleasant experience overall. - I was very disappointed and upset that the hotel staff showed no courtesy by not responding at all.
