Room was clean, quite small, but well appointed. Grateful for heating and electric blankets as weather was very cold.

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.

There are a couple of wonderful restaurants.
There are a couple of wonderful restaurants. From 7 pubs to two, this is disappointing. Wonderful gardens, museums, architecture and local history. Grampians and vineyards for miles. Fratin brothers at cathcart; their Rosè is to die for. Great shopping.
I love this place. One of the best value small country pubs I have stayed at. The rooms are really comfy, and now have reverse cycle aircon which is great in winter or summer. The bar and the restaurant are snug and welcoming, the food is very tasty and great value. Open fires and Guinness on tap - what more do you want for a winter break? The Courthouse is my go to pub whenever I'm in Ararat. And the publican is a hoot as well. Thanks Brian!
The Barkly Hotel is a Grand old Lady well worth trying. The service from the owner is first class. First time we had ever been to Ararat and we were made to feel like old friends coming back to visit. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Breakfast was amazing and included in the price along with being served in a dining room so full of charter and charm. This Hotel is 5 star on an extremely reasonable budget.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying at G'Day Parks Ararat! I felt very welcomed and comfortable there. I stayed in a self-contained unit, which had everything I needed. No issues to report. Wifi was strong. Everything was very clean and worked as expected. The included table and chairs provides a great work and eating surface. Communication was clear. I slept well there. Easy come, easy go. I'd happily return.
This is a lovely pub and bistro in a great location in Ararat. Staff and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. They were very kind in shouting me a free dinner due to being given a small room (see below). I had a parma in the bar downstairs for dinner, which was delicious, and the eggs benedict for breakfast which was also good.
The room was clean and had all the things you'd expect in a Hotel Room.
I found the area the Hotel was in was not noisy which was good.
The people who ran the Hotel were helpful and accommodating and made you feel you were welcome there.
Great place for a stop over. Service is good and the rooms are clean. The traffic and the trains are fairly quiet. I would recommend this venue if you need a quick stop over or somewhere to sleep if you have a busy day.
It is located just next to the super market and other shops which gives you more than enough options. Room had all required facilities for a comfortable stay. The rooms give a true colonial motel feeling.
comfortable motel, well presented and spacious room kept very clean. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming. Ample space in grounds and well located to main street, RSL club and Blue Duck Hotel.
The location is AMAZING!! You wake up to magpies chattering away in the nearby trees, and can easily view the trains coming into Ararat on the line. It's a beautiful spot and one you'll remember.
This accomodation is right in heart of Ararat, perfect location for a traveller with everything you really need for your stay, special mention to the hosts for their hospitality and management.
