Stayed in a King Room for a night in Nov. It’s within walking distance to the main sights and eateries in Ararat (not a big city anyway). The rooms were clean and spacious, with practical facilities (functional and not elaborate). The bed was big enough to fit two adults and two kids. The owner was also nice and friendly, giving us recommendations on where to visit and eat. I’ll consider staying here again when I visit the next time.

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!

Staff very friendly and getting keys was quick and easy. Room was really nice, looked and smelled clean. The staff do a great job of maintaining the grounds! Also very quiet for a roadside motel. Would stay again or recommend to anyone in the area.

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.

    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.

    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.

    The Courthouse Hotel Ararat exceeded my expectations! I was in an apartment attached to the hotel. It was extremely clean, with everything you need. If you’re looking for history this hotel has it in buckets. it is a beautiful 150+ years old hotel in the centre of Ararat. Step out the door and you’re in the main street of Ararat. The apartment also had fabulous views to the mountains. Brian the owner is very helpful and friendly. The meals are lovely. 10/10!

    This is a friendly, great value hotel to stay at right in the main Street of Ararat. Clean, well presented room with convenient access. Bistro menu offered a good selection and breakfasts were freshly cooked to order. we enjoyed talking to the friendly staff and plenty of locals enjoying the Barkly.

    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.
