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.

The staff were great! the rooms could do with an upgrade and missing a few things cutlery, which made it hard if you up wanting breakfast. but otherwise, it’s a beautiful spot to be staying at.
Stayed for 2 night in a Standard Queen Lakeview - Lake consists of a man-made channel surrounding the complex with the brownest of muddy water - not dirty or scummy or ugly but not a sprawling Lake either.
Did not use any amenities outside of our room - did not use Restaurant.
Situated on the Western Highway but constructed a fair way back off the road so we were not bothered by the continual passage of trucks passing by - this is the main highway connecting Adelaide and Melbourne and trucks use it 24 hours a day - we have stayed on other Motels in Stawell which are built right on the highway and noise IS an issue ALL NIGHT.
It was July and very Cold and Wet - accordingly we did not explore the grounds - we were just there to sleep !
Room was large - more than big enough for a King Bed (we only had a Queen) and Heating cycle of the A/C worked very well - all appliances worked well - plenty of bench space and spacious bathroom with plenty of Bench too.
Would stay there again - tariff was good - is on the western outskirts of town and parking is directly outside your room - a long way to “walk” into town - you basically need a car.

Lovely quiet and peaceful surrounds, very neat and clean. Unfortunately not very comfortable bed, plus 4 coffee sachets and 4 sugar packets didn’t really hit the mark

The proprietor's were lovely, and did their absolute best to provide a wonderful experience, unfortunately the pool was too cold to swim in and it would be quite noisy with the truck air brakes during the week, the beds really do need to be updated to more modern mattresses.
All in all though it was a lovely and staff were just wonderful.
A clean and tidy motel with basic but adequate facilities. Good value. Convenient breakfast. A good spot to stop en route. 8 year old reports that his “bunk bed was squeaky but it had a playground and lots of space and needs more playground equipment” and gives 3/5. 6 year old reports it was “a little bit small” but gives 5/5. Wife felt “was like a school camp motel” but still 4/5. Overall, a good result!
Room was clean and spacious. Abit above average price. Shower was nice and hot and a very comfy bed. Patio with table, chairs looking over part of lake with some ducks. Had free internet. No netflixs. Abit noisy for awhile with crickets making a noise but it stopped. Was abit confused played for on hotels.com but payment wasn't done when got there. So had to pay when there. Next day made sure payment wasn't taken out twice. Restraunt and pool but l didn't use. Nice stay. Lovely owner
Not a huge town Stawell, but some nice accomodation options. The Magdala is very clean and comfortable, and the restaurant was good. No hesitation in recommending for short stays and roadtrips
The Property is at a serene and quiet place. Breakfast at the in house restaurant was wonderful and had more options. Overall, a nice place to stay near Grampians.

Clean and spacious room for the 3 of us. Queen bed was a bit saggy but still ok to sleep on for one night.
