We really enjoyed our stay here - rooms are relatively basic but loved the heated blanket feature! Super convenient for the town of Halls Gap - everything was in walking distance there. And then easy drives to main hike / trail spots.

The room was ok but the outside was very neglected with weeds and dust everywhere. First impressions were bad, nothing like the photos of the property on the website.
The motel was within walking distance to dining places.

The mountain view from the rooms is great. A table and chairs is provided both inside and outside and so, depending on the weather, you can enjoy your breakfast (or lunch / dinner) whilst taking in the view. Location perfect to start the many walks that begin in Halls Gap.

Kookaburra Lodge was a great place to stay for our first time to Halls Gap. Right in town and even walking distance away from some of the Grampians trails!
Simple, clean rooms and friendly staff. I really enjoyed it.

Clean room, efficient check in and an excellent view of the mountains just outside!! Could greatly benefit from room servicing where they didn’t bother to even make up the bed or do a minimum clean up which was quite disappointing. Overall a good budget stay in Halls Gap. The views beat all other minor shortcomings.

The property was older style (a lot are in Halls Gap), but is was really clean, warm, good room facilities and comfy bed. A great price and quiet. Plenty of wildlife to see and Kangaroos on the front lawn.
