The property was beautiful, well maintained and well presented. The owner arranged everything at very short notice late at night as many of the family members had travelled from various locations within both Victoria and NSW. Nothing was any trouble and the owners communication was prompt, polite and very compassionate towards our circumstances. This morning I met the cleaning staff and again nothing was any trouble and they were very polite, considerate and compassionate towards me in relation to our circumstances.

Very well furnished and well equipped for a motel room. Fully carpeted. Comfortable and warm bed. Sofa, small table with 2 chairs and a writing table as well! Small kitchenette with kettle and coffee machine with pods. Good location along the main street, short distance from the town centre. Certainly the best motel room we've ever stayed in! Thank you, Michael and team!

Lovely setting - enjoyed being next to the fields with the alpacas. Lots of wildlife, good bird watching. Nice view over mountains at sunset. Good location 30 mins from Halls Gap. Very clean and well-maintained. Comfortable bed. Well provisioned kitchen. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and cereal were a lovely bonus.

    Ararat is a lovely town in itself and has everything you need, town hall, art gallery, many shops, antiques, eating places, gift shops, swimming pool, indoor and out, recreation, park, drives up to Halls Gap and tourist attractions areas. Didn't like the mess and Barracks much, it was cheap and very pub style.

    It was a good a good base for two nights (we booked an extra night) because it is easy drive to Halls Gap to walk in the Grampians and also tour around the area. Ararat has a museum, art gallery and delightful gardens to walk through. Has retained lot of Art Deco buildings which gives it a lovely ambience.

    Local interesting history, being the JWard prison and Ararat Lunatic Asylum - both worth a visit. Town centre has ample cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes, and shopping to suit all interests. Short drive to Stawell, Halls Gap and Grampians. An interesting and worthwhile place to visit.

    Easy to walk around the town, restaurants within easy walk.

    Easy to walk around the town, restaurants within easy walk. The Alexandra Gardens were beautiful to wander around and with a cafe as well. The Chinese heritage building was worth a visit with kids, they tried gold panning, dressed up and wrote their names in calligraphy while learning a little bit about the history of the town. A few restaurants looked ok in the main street, we chose Khoon Thai and certainly werent disappointed.

    Very good accommodation, suitable for families. My parents loved the accommodation & ambience, and wanted to extend the stay. The hotel manager at front desk is friendly, she helped me book a second night (fortunately a cancellation came in the morning of departure, as the hotel was fully booked out.). Not too far from the town centre as well. If you are in Ararat or want a relaxing stopover, this is the place to be.

    An extremely clean motel room which was very quiet despite being close to the main road through town. The staff member who checked me in was friendly and gave great advice on places to eat in Ararat. The bed was comfy, all appliances worked (TV, heater, kettle etc.) and the water pressure was lovely and strong.
