Pyrenees Caravan Park

Not long enough

Reviewed By Cynthia G

Such a lovely clean cabin. One bedroom cabin was a new one and had all the things we needed for our two night stay. Wish we had longer, but had only driven over for footy in Ballarat. Would love to come back and stay longer Staff were very friendly and the location is very nice, despite being close to a fairly busy road

A very comfortable stopover

Reviewed By browney237

We always look for somewhere to break the drive between Adelaide and Melbourne. This time it was Ararat. The Ararat Motor Inn was a good choice. Friendly check-in. We were upgraded as the motel was quiet being Sunday night the day before most people go back to work after Christmas. The room was spacious and spotless. A good sized modern bathroom with plenty of bench space. Great shower, a very comfortable bed and a nice sofa. Complimentary coffee poses were welcome and sensible minibar prices. The hotel is a pleasant walk into the main shopping area and restaurants.

Stately Economical Lodgings

Reviewed By Rooboy2014

This is slightly off the main road but worth the detour. The people running it are quite friendly and helpful. The room I had was comfortable and clean and little outside noise could be heard. What was the best thing for me was the breakfast which was just great and very affordable. From memory I paid less than $10 for it and if you had it elsewhere you'd have paid significantly more. It kept me going for the whole day. Would I return to the Statesman Motor Inn? Yes I would and for the reasons above. Not a five star motel but has everything those type of hotels have but maybe a little less in terms of the fittings. But if you want a good clean bed, clean bathroom and an excellent breakfast then this is a good place to go.

Worst Motel ever

Reviewed By cazilk

Very dated facilities. Old uncomfortable mattress, old carpets, old inadequate lighting. The check in service was polite and accommodating. Despite requesting a quiet room, the noise from the highway was continual all night. This was the worst motel room I’ve ever stayed at.

Great little park and off the main road

Reviewed By DebVictoria2016

We stayed in a cabin at Acacia which gave us all the space we needed, was comfortable and clean. Booking was easy, staff were pleasant, car park space allocated at the cabin. Cabins are well appointed, beds were comfortable and good quality linen. Some might look at the location and think the railway is very close but in all honesty - we hardly heard it on the first night and didn't after that.

Southern Cross Motor Inn, a hidden gem

Reviewed By HeatherL616

A regular stop for us on our Adelaide to Melbourne trips. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Although on the highway the rooms aren’t noisy. Hosts are very friendly & helpful. Just a short walk to the RSL for an excellent meal. Breakfast is available in room or there are some good cafés in the town. Why not stay an extra night & explore some of the historical sites, take in the beautiful scenery or visit some excellent local wineries. Highly recommend this establishment.

The Barkly Bistro Bar & Accommodtion

Awesome Ararat Stay

Reviewed By neepfamily

A genuine warm welcome awaits at The Barkly Accommodation. It is rare these days to be able to do a regional stay where you can enjoy accommodation, drinks, dinner bed and breakfast at extremely reasonable prices. That it exactly what you will experience at The Barkly with a warm welcome, friendly service and a crackling fire in the dining room to complete your stay. The accommodation is all upstairs and shared bathrooms/toilets are a few steps away from your room. The rooms are basic but clean, warm (we stayed on a cold winters night) and lovely linen and fluffy towels are provided. This accommodation is not for everyone, the corridors feel a little cold on arrival but dont let this deter you. Once you are settled in there are plenty of spaces downstairs to relax and enjoy delicious food, great house wines and after a great nights sleep, a hot shower and a freshly cooked breakfast of your choice in the morning (included in your room rate). You cant go wrong! We will return and have highly recommended The Barkly to family and friends. Thank you to the crew at The Barkly you are doing an amazing job. Kelley and Kevin.

Courthouse Hotel

Boutique Hotel in Ararat with a bar and bistro providing food and beverages for locals and tourists 5 nights a week. The property includes a One Bedroom Apartment with ensuite and 5 Country Hotel Rooms with Shared Bathrooms. Great Main Street location with clean rooms that provide guest amenities, tea & coffee, air condition and free Wi-Fi which is great value for money.

Very enjoyable pub meal

Reviewed By browney237

Sunday night dinner in Ararat is not filled with choice but the Courthouse bar and grill was open and was a great choice. A pleasant character dining room serviced by a central bar that also serves the front bar. Simple pub food that doesn’t disappoint. We had Bangers and Mash with the freshest salad I have just about every had. The wine list is limited but locally focussed which isn’t an issue as the region produces good quality wines. Super pleasant barman and prompt service,
