Wonderful little motel with only a few rooms, parking directly infront of your room. Very near to Ararat train station. Very central. The lady that runs it is absolutely lovely and welcoming.

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.

Nicely designed interior and overall good atmosphere at the park. The house was very clean and well equipped. The bed was large and comfortable for a couple. The park makes for a good base for day trips in the Grampians.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
