The staff were helpful and lovely to talk to. The room was clean and more comfortable than we expected. It was also great to see a EV charger on the property, so we will be coming back if we are travelling in the part of Victoria again.

A quiet retreat. Located on the main road through town but very quiet in our room. Extremely helpful staff in accommodating a very late check in. Rooms are clean, tidy and offer all the resources you need. Very happy to have chosen the Otway Gate Hotel and would happily do so again.

Comfortable little room with brand new bathroom and great shower head. Comfortable bed. As someone who finds it hard to sleep with any amount of light, I appreciated that the exterior lights went off at some point so that the room was dark enough to get a decent sleep. Friendly service.

Basic but comfortable and clean.

Fairly basic but clean and comfortable. Shower not very powerful. Some confusion over how many rooms were booked but sorted fairly quickly.
