The Gariwerd (pronounced Gary-word) Motel is the #1 ranked motel in Halls Gap on TripAdvisor. Over the past 4 years we have built a reputation for friendly service, clean rooms, and helpful advice in a beautiful mountain location. Check out our reviews on TripAdvisor to get an idea of what people love about this place. That's the standard we are looking to maintain.

The motel has 23 rooms, and enjoys strong occupancy during the peak months from September to May, with a lull over the period from June to August. So you will work hard, but you won't be on your own. There are cleanering and groundskeeping staff already in place, and the owner will be actively supporting the new managers. Halls Gap is a popular destination for both domestic and international guests (when they are allowed to return). The tourism industry is mostly centred around hiking in the Grampians National Park, with other activities including local wineries, the Silo Art Trail, ancient Aboriginal art sites, restaurants, cafes, micro brewery and more.

They will also return to the motel every four weeks to provide the on-site managers with support, and some well-earned time off.
