Thanks to the good weather we were able to enjoy the outdoors. The rooms are nicely furnished, but lack hooks, drawers or shelves to hang a coat or our bath towels. It's really calm and relaxing.
Free Wi-Fi is on offer at the Chalambar Motel, offering fully renovated accommodation in Ararat, gateway to the Grampians National Park. Flat-screen TVs and electric blankets are provided.

Great little motel, staff were great they upgraded me, which was nice. Close to town, there is some noise from western Hwy and trains, but I look at it like a lullaby highly recommend this place will definitely stay again

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!
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.
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.
The room to me was of Hotel standard with furnishings that promoted a homely relaxing contentment. Everything needed & more was supplied. Also liked the undercover parking & the area in which the Motor Inn is located.
Super easy to get to. Was extremely clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom is a decent size.
The reception staff was very nice and welcoming.
Would definitely stay again the next time I’m in Ararat.
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.
It is located just outside Ararat on our route. Town centre is only a couple km away. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Bed was also comfortable.
There is a play area and a pool to keep kids happy.
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.
Rob was a great host, he was both interested and interesting to have a chat with. He came across as very unflappable.
The hotel bar, room and facilities were all very clean.
