The facilities for families are good with a jumping pillow, swimming pools, tennis courts and a games room. The staff are friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable. The sites are adequate, if just a little limiting and the amenities meet the standards for Big 4 (which are good) but are nothing to rave about. All-in-all a very comfortable and enjoyable place to stay and well worth another visit.

We stayed in room #11 and the view was breathtaking. A large paddock with kangaroos grazing and the Grampians too! The rooms were really clean and the bathroom was super clean too. I will definitely be staying here again.

So the problem with booking things last minute is that your options run low as most places are…read morealready filled and have no vacancies. This was the case for my spontaneous weekend away. But nonetheless, Stawell happened to be the town in between two places we wanted to go to, Ararat and Halls Gap. Lucky for us, this place was not booked out. They have everything you need. Including a free continental breakfast, it's mainly toast and cereal, but anything is better than starting your day with nothing. It's one less thing to worry about. They also have a indoor spa, a heated pool, a gym. Each room has a mini fridge and microwave and water heater with kitchenware. Oh and shout out to the water pressure in the shower, that was top notch. In the reception are movies to rent. They are fully licensed, and have a restaurant for dinner. It's independent and family run, the couple is so genuine and nice, they easily make you feel welcome and can help with tips on the local area. For a place we were only staying at to sleep, this was a bit dated, but had all the essentials you need for a stay.

Made this place base camp for some time away around halls gap. It's definitely dated (reminds me of…read morea 70s movie) but it was clean and had everything we needed for our stay away. The owners were great. The fact that the spa wasn't functioning was the only downer.

Really enjoyed our stay here - great value for the room! The inside of the room had a bit of a…read morevintage vibe and was spacious complete with a space heater and fridge. We appreciated that they stocked some instant coffee and tea for us within the room. Parking available right in front of the rooms which was quite convenient. The backyard has so many kangaroos and cockateels, it's an amazing sight to wake up to in the morning!

This is a cute little Gem! Brad was amazing! He help us to get some bearings to the region, he…read moremade some excellent recommendations for sightseeing and hikes in the area. Also during dinner he happens to have a cute little kangaroo friend that comes to the window at dinner to saw hello! The rooms are very clean and spacious with comfortable beds. It reminds me of the lodges at The Grand Canyon in Arizona, only bigger and with Kangaroos on the law in the early morning and in the evening and beautiful birds. A must-return-to!

Nice big laundry & great personal ensuite style bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Heated swimming pool & a shop with a bit of food, drinks, beer, wine & knick knacks & you can rent fire pits which add to the camping experience. Gorgeous location teaming with wildlife (so many roos, emus & birds) surrounded by cliffs, trees & by the creek with the lake just down the road. Great friendly staff with excellent advice on where to go in the area.

When I tried to get dressed in there, I kept knocking into walls and knocking things over. However, if you don't mind this, the rooms were clean and the facilities were good and the price was reasonable.

Professional staff, indoor and outdoor seating options, fantastic food and a great selection of beers and wines.

Honestly, the service here was pretty abysmal, but that probably should surprise me all to much…read moreconsidering that this pub is literally located in the middle of the country, in a town that is practically dead. Well, there is a railway station behind it, but that station hasn't be used in I don't know how long, and this pub, located on a rather lonely stretch of road, probably doesn't get all that many people passing through anyway. Yeah, if I ever end up doing down this way again, I'll probably, in fact most likely, just pass straight by. It certainly isn't worth the energy stopping.

The open steak sandwich was very good. The lamb wrap was unfortunately sold out and became a chicken wrap, also very good. We are wandering tough if the price-portion was alright.
