Hotels near Griffith Airport - GFF, Griffith

Receptionist stayed an hour after her finish time to get me settled in. And she had her daughter with her, so the both of them had been put out. That is commendable in itself of course, but in the social media age, money in the bank. This above and beyond approach by staff is a huge plus for me personally and weary business travellers in general. Top shelf.

Fantstic wineries and specialty farm produce providers. New Malt House but did not get a chance to go this trip. Also find out more about Griffith at the Pioneer Park (Recreation of the VIllage life) and Italian Museum. Please be aware Griffith is a country town and as such, smaller stores do not stay open on Saturday afternoons (1:00pm to 2pm close) and most do not open on Sundays. The shops in the Mall do stay open as does Woolworths and Kmart. On Sunday, there are only a few cafes open for breakfast. However lunch and dinner options better with the Legues Club and Ex Servicesmens Club Bistros/Resturants open for lunch/dinner. Resturants in the Main Street need to be booked as they get quite busy.

Griffith was great for food and alcohol - I was a little disappointed with the lack of dress shops and designer shops available - and I was hoping to find a yarn shop too - but no luck. Not to worry though - as we found out above the Italian Festival here each year so are planning to return another time.

We were in Griffith for a Clay Target Shooting competition and as our son is currently living in our caravan due to being homeless from the floods in Rochester we opted to still travel to this shoot and stay in a motel, Apart from eating at the Gun Club we also ate at one of the Hotels and the Leagues Club and enjoyed our meals and you can't go wrong with buying local produce...eg. oranges and mandarins and some lovely marmalade too. I also went shopping and picked up a couple of bargains :)

A surprisingly lovely, modern and large-ish regional town with access to more things to see than I originally gave it credit for. I only stayed a night on my return to Sydney from Adelaide but am now planning on returning for a longer duration.

The Grand was in a good location, we loved the price of the wine at the Exies club and the food and live music was excellent. The Grand needs some upgrades, the lift smelled, the hallways smelled, the rooms weren't the cleanest, the fan in our room was filthy. The shower head wouldn't stay up and apparently it was the same in other rooms. I wouldn't recommend staying here to others.
