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!

I thought the rooms where clean and comfortable. I arrived at 3.30 a m. The owner allowed an extra 30 mins. sleep in. i.e. 10:30 a.m checkout. Much appreciated. The owner is very polite and friendly. Will definitely come back in the future Thank-you!

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.

Appreciated the historical buildings, lovely gardens and friendly residents. Loved the Gum San Chinese Heritage Museum - interesting historical information and well-laid out collections that gave us valuable insight into the origins of Ararat. We deliberately stayed in Ararat to visit Gum San. The staff on duty, Mary and Duan, were knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoyed our stay at Acacia Caravan Park - loved the joyful Christmas display in the front office garden. Cabin was clean, comfortable and had a well-appointed kitchen-just right for 5 people.

Ararat is a good base to use for exploring nearby areas such as the Grampians.It has local attractions as well.Train service to Melbourne is available and coach services from the station to other towns leave from the station too.Nice botanical garden for a walk as well.A visit to the tourist centre would be a worthwile stop for information.

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.

I stayed in The Apartment, which is on the same upstairs level as the pub. Big rooms, well lit and with plenty of space. Located in Ararat's main shopping street, but not the highway, so it's convenient but not noisy. Bed was warm and comfy. The pub itself is a good one, with great meals and beer right on the doorstep. Similar rate to a motel room, but had more of an apartment feel for the money.

We had one of the newer holiday units as pictures. Whilst they are small they are well maintained and cosy. We arrived late on a very cold Friday night and the heater had been turned on prior ensuring we had a warm unit when we arrived. Walking distance into the centre of Ararat. Great camp kitchen for anyone camping.
