Where to stay in Grampians
Grampians hotels & accommodations

Out of the 10 days we were in Victoria, our best stay was in The Grampians Motel. Everything was way way better than what one could expect, from the service and hospitality to the food in the restaurant (The Views Restaurant). Our room was clean and well equipped, the bed had a heater function for the cold mornings, and our bath had the jacuzzi function. There was al...

We stayed in the "studio" and it was fantastic. All amenities were provided and even though the cabins were close together, we always felt we had our own space. The location is amazing... a little out of the main area of Halls Gap, but only a few minute drive away from shops and restaurants there. Would highly recommend!

Room was surprisingly spacious, and had key amenities like towels, mini fridge and TV. The friendly staff also pointed us to the shared kitchen for guests to prepare meals, and we could also rent DVDs or games from the reception. Accommodation was the best one I could find near to the Pinnacle, Venus Baths that I could find - just a short 4-min drive and we were at t...

I was very impressed with Marwood Villas. My partner and I were looking to get away from our busy lifestyles, and this was perfect. There was little interaction with staff, lots of wildlife around. I felt as though the Villa was well equipped and I had everything I needed. The kitchen was also equipped for cooking. The only thing I could recommend would be more cooking...

Good location in the middle of halls gap toen center. The facility is clean and with aircon& hot water. Nice clean tower & bedsheets. The best is the kangaroos visit in the morning. U can basically enjoy watching the kangaroos hopping around in the woods from your cabin balacony. Great place, will stay there again next time.

The stay was really pleasant and the host was very helpful, from getting us to the rooms to telling us the places to visit in Grampians. Even when we were looking for groceries late at night, he directed us well. Extremely satisfied with the level of service. Definitely going back for a stay again.

George is a wonderful host, even when we arrived late he was happy to provide us with a breakfast basket. Do try the eggs. They are so fresh and good. We even bought a couple dozen to bring home. The cottage is self contained with very good quality utensils and towels, which I did not expect in a country cottage. The garden is immaculately maintained and the log fire...

Its a Motor Lodge, hence the parking is just outside the room. We had a great view of the garden which have a small pond to attract ducks and birds. Room was spacious, and warm. Its just next to the shopping strip in Halls Gap which have everything u need from BBQ to cooked food. Its also just 2.3km from the new information center where u can get all thei nformation ab...

It was wonderful. The staff were very accommodating to all our needs! We were visiting for the Wonderland Trail Run. We hadn't been to Halls Gap since we were kids. Now we will all be bringing our families back in the near future. Thank you so much!!

Had a brilliant stay here. It was a great base for exploring the Grampians during the day. In the evening we ate at the Public Bar one and the fine dining restaurant the second. Both were very good. Breakfast was spot on and the price overall was fantastic. Brilliant stay and would definitely come again.

Had a well rested stay at the DULC. The cabin is well decorated with all modern amenities provided. It was a wonderful experience soaking in the jacuzzi and looking up to a beautiful night sky through the glass ceiling. Saw 2 kangaroos hopped past our balcony as well. Only regret we had was not buying our groceries in the bigger towns for our 2 night stay before e...

We stayed in the six seasons and it was amazing. Everything we could have wanted or needed was there and the environment there was so relaxing and peaceful. Each cottage was spaced away enough from each other to provide privacy and tranquility. The property was surrounded by the Aussie bush, kangaroos and wallabies. Inside was a great kitchen, a huge spa bath, an ama...

The log cabins go perfectly with the Grampians experience, introducing a sense of adventure while creating a homely feeling for the guests. The Kangaroos wander the grounds, along with emus and cockatoos. The wood fire is a delightful touch that warms the cabin well and provides a nice centre around which the family can interact around.

70s or 80's house and showing its age. Feels very dated and tired, a few renovations, but done very cheaply, not quality. All furniture secondhand and house has a distinct odour. We've staying in many many airBnBs, so have a reasonable gauge on value - imo better value elsewhere. We paid $205 per night for a couple and a 4yo - not even some soap for the shower.

Beautiful large house on the edge of town with mountains behind - bush setting. Cockatoos come to the verandah to be fed. Has all you need - washing machine, fridge, dishwasher. Only 1 toilet which could be an issue for a large group but a well appointed bathroom with decent shower and bath..Will definately look for a vacancy next time I want to visit the Grampians

As a regular traveller between Victor Harbor and Melbourne, I enjoyed my stay at The Magdala Motel. Set back from the noisy Western Highway, the road traffic could hardly be heard. The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The restaurant provided a good comprehensive menu, although a little noisy as there was a large function booked in on my stay. Staff ...

Staff was not very friendly nor helpful. Facilities such as microwave and laundry closes earlier than stated and not opened at time when stated. Need to request from the hotel staff for assistance. Heater did not seem to work too well and the room was very cold at periods of time during the night.

Halls Gap is a perfect base for exploring the Grampians, and the resort is very comfortable and well-equipped. Dinner for 5 was prepared with ease with what was provided in the cabin. The highlight of the town was the abundance of wildlife and how close they can be. The allocated cabin faced an empty field where dozens of kangaroos gathered in the evening. I'm surprise...

The Old Tobacco Kiln is just that - an old garage/shed which was used as a tobacco kiln during an early experiment with this cash crop in the area. A simple 1 room layout downstairs with a double bed on the mezzanine. Strangely, no breakfast included in our stay. Not sure why, and not sure why no BF is even an option at a B&B, several miles out of town... But anyway, b...

We were greeted warmly during check in, and was even offered choice of unit types , and we took unit #6 (one queen bed and 2 singles). The units all look quite new and well maintain, good size, nice layout, the kitchen has everything we needed. Lots of windows so we get to see very good view of grampians from our unit. The SPA is great for relaxing after a days hike in...
Cheap places to stay in Grampians

Check in was very fast, and the owner was very friendly. He came back to let me know where to go to sight see and where to get food in town. The room was large and comfortable, and well furnished. I would stay here again if I ever return to Grampians.

Diamond House has been around a while and the rooms are dated BUT they are clean & have all the basic requirements. The bed was great and there was no outside noise to be concerned about. It was a great location to walk into town. They could add a few things like seat outside the room but overall for the price was it good value. Note: They did have a bar & food etc bu...

Everything you could possibly need for a Grampians excursion. Great little kitchen and living room with tv/DVD. Super clean. Comfortable bed. I spent the evening on the porch watching cockatoos chatter and swoop across the yard. Kookaburras after sunset. Several beautiful drive spots nearby. Grills and picnic tables outside.

Staff was not very friendly nor helpful. Facilities such as microwave and laundry closes earlier than stated and not opened at time when stated. Need to request from the hotel staff for assistance. Heater did not seem to work too well and the room was very cold at periods of time during the night.

We checked in late as we spent more time than we realised in the Grampians. The manager checked us in and couldn't have been more friendly. The room was clean and well equipped and set up for our family as requested. The residence was quiet and we had a great nights sleep and woke fresh and ready for the long journey ahead. We met the manager in the morning and he ...

Me and my friends had an amazing stay at the A-Frame Chalet. Check-in was a breeze. Host (Tim) was amazing - his furniture shop next to the chalet was worth a visit. There were also kangaroos in our backyard! Overall, a great experience at the A-Frame Chalet!

Wonderful location in Halls Gap, close to everything yet in a quiet corner that's right next to the kangaroos. Had a mother roo and her Joey come right to our doorstep on both nights.
