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

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.

As a family with teenage children, the bedding in these rooms was perfect with 2 singles and a queen. The grounds were lovely, and the check in team were very friendly. Very good value for money when visiting the region. We would stay again.
The only faults we found were that the room was a little musty, but we opened the door for a little while, and it was fixed!

We were extremely disappointed to stay here. Check-in was ok but we were advised there was a fee for Amex, so I gave another card. Didn't realise that they had already charged our original card and, of course, the fee.
Our room was relatively clean until you looked under the bed where there was Maltesers.
The spa room had a spa big enough for a small person, definitely not room for 2 and the shower only had soap in the dispenser, no shampoo or conditioner.
Internet was sketchy (tried 2 mobile phones and a laptop) so I went into the restaurant to use their internet. Was offered a coffee, asked for a tea (same that is in the rooms) and was charged $6 for literally a tea bag and water!!
Owner was rude and unhelpful and, if you look at the comments through google, he refutes everything you write.
I'm the second person from my company who stayed here, and we are both on the same page. Do not stay here!

Friendly and helpful staff. Motel seems to be a work in progress of upgrading an aging property. Comfortable but still in between old and new vision.

Comparatively speaking, Check-in was laborious. Request to have a meal from the restaurant in my room was met with a $7 room service surcharge response - even though I was happy to collect meal / return all plates utensils. Wet comfortable bed but nestled in the main light fitting in my room was a crushed empty spirits can. Will be my 1 & only stay at Magdala. Definitely not worth the $170+ per night cost. Oh & golfers … don’t (like me) be fooled by the 4 or 6 hole golf course advertising sign.

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

Room was clean and serviceable would benefit from updating as no door on shower. Staff friendly and helpful. Chosen due to reviews advising it was quiet however trucks passing on highway and trains made that impossible.

It was a reasonable price, clean and tidy. The bunk bed was damaged, not safe to use. If they check the rooms properly when changing sheets etc, it should have been picked up right away.
5.0
The property is in a good location a little way out of town. It is set back from the road but there is still a low noise from the numerous trucks on the road at night. Not enough to keep you awake if you're used to outside noise.
The setting is very pleasant next to the small lake and the restaurant has a nice view. The dinner and breakfast was good.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of carparking.

Robert allowed us to check in late which was so wonderful because we had a sudden drive to Adelaide and required a stopover point to sleep
