Lake Mulwala Hotel Motel

Mulwala

Lake Mulwala Hotel is an old style pub with a new double storey motel extension on the grounds.  The parking area is cramped.  The reception is operated by staff who have to also manage the restaurant, kitchen and bar.  Any questions regarding the internet were dealt with but inadequately.  The internet was patchy and ineffective when available.  
The room had a bed and a large sofa however the bed was placed right next to the window where everyone could look in so it was necessary to keep the blinds down all the time which meant having the poor lighting on all the time.  The poor lighting probably hid the dirty carpet that other posters have spoken of.  The furniture was from the 70s and of cheap quality.

The bed however was comfortable and the linen crisp and clean.  The kitchen area was only a sink and fridge.  The lighting was so poor that one could not even see into the cupboards where the crockery and tea making items were.

The bathroom was well lit and clean but the shower was difficult to adjust.  You either froze or were scalded.  The toilet door to unit 4 did not close properly and stuck so it was difficult to operate.

The pub restaurant had both an indoor area (patronised by families and those drinking heavily) and a restaurant area.  The bar was also well patronised by the locals.  The menu was very much pub food and a salad was not to be seen.  The portions were large and the fries outweighed the main portion of the meal.  Many baskets of chips were returned to the kitchen!  There was only one cook on duty and the wait staff had to do everything including some of the cooking.  It took us two hours to get a bowl of wedges and an entree!  Both were of mid-quality.

The location of the hotel was good for families and those who wanted to use the boat ramp.  The waterslide must have closed down in 2018/19 and has not been used since.  The BBQ boats leave from in front of the hotel.  
This is not a place we would stay again.  In fact Mulwala is an area to just drive through, not stop.

Best to stay elsewhere

I advised the hotel staff that I will be arriving by bus from Benalla at about 10pm. The staff at the hotel advised me that the hotel closes at 10pm. They were going to  give me a code to access the room, which never happened.  I had to ring the emergency number and was advised that the hotel would stay open and give me a key to the room.
Not much hot water in the shower.
3 Taco pub meal very salty.

Disappointed

Friendly service, cold beers and pub food done right. We came on a Wednesday night when twenty bucks gets you one of a wide selection of parmigianas, two sides and a beer and everyone had one and loved it.
Excellent outdoor dining area with shade, lake views and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended. 

Classic pub fare done right. 

We went for a casual Friday night dinner. I asked for a change to a meal on the menu which was no problem. The staff were friendly & food was AMAZING. 
One small downside was there was a rowdy bunch in the bar which had clearly had to much to drink and yet were still being served. 
Aside from that Highly recommended.

Dinner for two 

Known locally as the Swinger Hotel, it is right near the Mulwala Foreshore Park with safe for kids in-the-lake swimming pool, water slide and boat ramp.  Has many pub food standards, but the Parma night is a stand out, with huge portions, great varieties and excellent value.

Great small country town pub

As its a budget motel you cant expect mutch. The beds are made every day thats about all the floors never cleaned or vacted and no top ups of tea or coffee rubbish left on the patio when i arrived it dosent take mutch to be clean and tidy on the positive a great little hotel with great meals and central to everything.What was most annoying was that you can hear the hotel generators running all night

The old saying you only get what you pay for

We traveled with friends recently and stayed here for 3 nights. Location was good and the rooms were onIy reasonably clean and that's the only positives about this place.  Cobwebs covered the stairwell and the balustrades, 4 outdoor tables only even though there were 8 rooms upstairs, insufficient cutlery and glasses. They have a courtesy bus which we assume is for looks only as they refused to drive us to the Ski Club. We were also advised by a couple of locals not to eat there. Wouldn't stay there again.

Unsatisfactory

Wanting a quiet meal at the end of a busy weekend, this hotel provided friendly efficient service, fresh well presented meals in a family friendly environment. We would recommend highly and look forward to visiting again.

Family friendly

We loved our stay here, very welcoming  and offered the room $9 less per night that what was quoted. Had the lamb cutlets yum I must say. The view from the room was amazing. 
Is a nice pizza shop up the road, also a car wash and laundry mat If needed.
