Hotels near Saint Mary＇s Catholic Church, Ararat

Decided to stay in a small town park way to and from Adelaide, one night each way. The facilities are spotless, camp kitchen has everything provided including cutlery, tea towels, showers had rubber mats and complimentary bath mat. Travelled with daughter and her family, grandkids loved the pool and trampoline. Office open until 7pm also, staff willing to help with anything to ensure stay is enjoyable. And priced exceptionally well. Will definitely remember this park when the need arises.

Going to Grampians on Saturday, the room is relatively small, so we have to book in advance, we can only stay for half an hour or so, stay in this house, but the town has a supermarket, shopping is convenient. Breakfast is free, it is bread milk and cereal cereal, which is relatively simple, and it is a bit cold to eat. The bed is 1.5 meters, and the sleeping family is a bit crowded.

I rang to say I would probably miss check-in, (driving in from Melbourne and was caught in storms), no problem, the very nice and helpful Brenda gave me the code for the room key. The motel is an oldish one but I was pleasantly surprised by the very clean, neat and spacious room. Comfy bed, big wall mounted TV, new shower with great water pressure, nice towels, well equipped with microwave etc and while the air con unit is an older one, it works (it was during a hot spell). It's on a highway so expect some truck noise but it's not that bad. There's a cafe and Macca's nearby for the all important coffee and brekky. I will stay there again for the next visit.

The caveat is that there is a new owner that just took over one week prior so this is mostly for the previous owner, however the new owner didn't seemed to worried about my feed back and issues with his place. Price wise this accommodation was mid level. I stayed in their 1 bedroom cabin due to needing full kitchen facilities for my daughter and myself. It was quite an old build however the main reason i've rated it so low was that the cleanliness was nowhere close to where it should have been. The first cabin had a bad odour which smelt like a mouse had died. The new owner didn't care when i told him about it, i had to suggest changing cabins and luckily he had a spare cabin to move us into. The carpet desperately needed a good steam clean and for some reason there was an ant problem as well. In the evening with all the doors and windows shut, hundreds of little bugs still managed to get into the place. The oven was only half size but luckily just fit a small roast into it. The 2 cook top elements could only be used singularly due to being small. There is no phone signal there and their wifi was only good enough to browse very slowly with considering there were only about a quarter of the accommodations booked. There isn't anywhere it says that the wood heater has been boarded in but they do have a reverse cycle a/c instead. I would not book here again and take my chances else where.

Great little motel at a reasonable price and a beautiful location! The rooms are comfortable and the showers truly amazing! Great to be able to spend time around so many kangaroos at dusk too. Extremely friendly service, catering to any needs you have. We were lucky enough to be supplied with a lift into Halls Gap to try the local restaurants and brewery. The Views also boasts a delicious dinner menu, although you’d be expecting to pay a fair bit. Overall, a great experience for a good price.

The environment is very beautiful, the animals are at the feet; the backyard has kangaroos. Chickens, peacocks, sheep and other animals are also raised. Great for a holiday!
