We stayed at Coorrabin Motor Inn, which was located on the highway. I had decided on this place as I had read many positive reviews regarding the friendliness of the staff, these reviews were very accurate and we had the same experience. My review which I posted to Booking.Com is as follows:
"They had family rooms, often hard to come by. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to help. The accommodation was clean, tidy and better than expected for the price paid. The bowl of lollies was a hit with the kids.
The water temperature for the shower in one of the rooms was a bit hard to get just right, but other than that there were absolutely no issues at all. The location for some could be problematic being on a main road with lots of traffic, but we all slept well with no issues."
We took the dwarfs to see where the Stawell gift is ran, before having dinner at the Gift Hotel, which was directly across the road. The food was what you would expect for a pub meal, staff were friendly and accommodating. We actually got there just after the kitchen was due to shut. The dwarfs had a choice out of 4 different kids meals, half chose sausages and chips, which was a plate of chips with 2 sausages. The other half chose chicken dinosaurs, which also was a plate of chips with about 6 chicken nuggets shaped as dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were a big hit. Me and R went for a full sized pasta dish each, I had the salmon and he had the carbonara and they were massive. I only managed to get through half of it, and that was with some help from the dwarfs.
Saturday morning we drove to Melbourne at 6am and arrived by 9am. We spent some time with family before heading back to Stawell at 6pm, arriving at around 9:30pm. It was one very busy day, but we surprised ourselves with just how much we managed to fit in.
