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.

Great stay in Stawell
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 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.

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!
