AustraliaI have stayed previously. The rooms are small but very comfortable. Shared bathroom facilities are always clean. Very good value for money at under $100 per night. Right in the main street of Ararat, but not noisy, as the rooms are at the back of the building.

AustraliaOur room was close to the lovely swimming pool, especially welcome on a very hot day. A small table and two chairs on the balcony. In the kitchen it was handy to have a full size fridge. A microwave as well as an electric cooktop with oven are there for a longer stay. The compact bathroom featured a rain shower. Television is connected to Ballarat stations. We appreciated the park is small, owner-run and near the main part of town. When wifi access was difficult, the staff helped out with an alternative that worked perfectly. All in all a pleasant overnight stay.

AustraliaLocation in itself was enough for me, Close to Main St, Woolies, Maccas, garage. Close to J ward and Aradale and of course the Grampians. Hosts were fantastic even though he didn't want to talk Cricket HA HA. Rooms was spacious and the shower was magnificent. All up great place and an even better location.

Close to the Grampians (Halls Gap 43 klm).
Close to the Grampians (Halls Gap 43 klm). Lots of shops to buy food, especially during the day. Major supermarkets there (Woolworths, Aldi, IGA), Mc Donald's, KFC for fast food. RSL have good price beer but was noisy. Would of been better if the music was turned down. Not far from Lake Fyans. Short drive to Green Hill lake reserve. Free camping but also a nice place to go for a walk.
Great view from the lookout in town. If you drive an electric car charging rates are 75 cents per kwh at the NMRA charging station.

Ararat is a beautiful town with friendly locals & wonderful shops, cafes & restaurants (The Mess & Barracks was a favourite). It's close enough to drive to many surrounding attractions including Aradale Asylum (Eerie Tours), Halls Gap Zoo & many wineries.

Beautiful clean place.
Beautiful clean place. Volunteers at the tourist information centre were extremely helpful. Just loved the way they had grapevines growing/hanging like garlands between the verandah posts as you walk up the Main Street. Ararat was very pretty 😍

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.

We stayed here on a Saturday night because we were doing one of the local ghost tours in town. They were currently in the middle of a renovation when we stayed, but that didn’t bother us. We were in a newly renovated room and it was really good. Nicely done, great bathroom, good amenities and the service was good too. The location is great because it’s a two minute walk from the main street with good local shops and restaurants. I would recommend staying here if you need somewhere in Ararat.

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.

Simple motel but well thought out, lovely people running the place and everything I needed for a good stay while in Ararat for work. Comfortable bed, dark at night, bit of highway noise but not enough to disrupt sleep. Really clean.
