Otway Gate Motel

What a wonderful Motel to stay. Staff are friendly and unit is spotless and fresh milk for our tea and coffee. It is a short walk into Colac but has an IGA close by. Thoroughly recommend you stay there. We will certainly be back when visiting relatives again.

The motel was modern, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating for a late check in. It was also in a very central location. Overall I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking for accommodation in Colac.

My wife and I stayed for 1 night whilst visiting Colac. We arrived at about 9pm and whilst the office seemed closed the staff appeared and happily showed us to our room. The room was very clean and quite comfortable. Very happy and would certainly stay again.

I recently stayed 2 nights at this motel. My room was extremely comfortable and had everything I could have needed including a kettle, toaster, microwave, hairdryer, electric blanket and even a USB port for charging. Even though the room was relatively small there was a lot of storage space. The room has been totally renovated, lovely bathroom with a rain shower and everything was spotlessly clean (and I can be fussy when it comes to cleanliness). Lovely linen and towels. There was car parking at the door so it was easy to unload and load the car. Graeme at reception was very welcoming and helpful right from my phone call to make the booking. I could not fault this motel and would definitely stay again next time I'm in the area.

We booked for two nights & it is not difficult to see why the "No Vacancy" sign was up for both nights. Graeme had done us a big favour, & when we arrived, he took us to our room, showed us how the TV & WiFi worked, & generally made us feel very welcome. Our room was spotless & very well appointed- TV, kettle, toaster, luxurious towels, spotless bathroom, all made for a very comfortable stay. Parking was right outside our door& our room was well away from the road so there was no traffic noiseThere is a guests' laundry & BBQ area, although we used neither. Graeme suggested where we should eat & where we shouldn't & his recommendation for the former was spot on. After the first night, our room was serviced which came as a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was available if required. Overall, we were delighted & next time we are in Colac, we will be making a beeline to the Otway Gate. Rick R

A stone's throw from the city centre, this motel has been recently renovated to a high standard and a goodly amount of thought has gone into practical and sensible attention to detail, from easily accessable power outlets and USB charge points on both sides of the bed to Tesla charge points for EVs in the parking areas. The TV is a 50" Sony Android and gives access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube (previous occupants have kindly left their accounts open), not the trashy, tiny TV you usually find. The cleanliness cannot be faulted and the staff are exceedingly friendly and eager to assist. Free access to laundry facilities is a very welcome bonus.
