    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 found Ararat to be a very friendly place. Everything with in easy walking distance, as we came by train. We had dinner at the RSL and were very pleased with the generous meal and atmosphere. Another dinner at Sicilians restaurant, great food and service. The Information Centre staff very helpful and informative.

    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.

    In the heart of Ararat, centrally located and in the close vicinity of all the essential shopping and restaurants. Generously sized rooms, clean enough and the staff were polite. We booked this place last minute during our trip to vacation to Grampians which is 45 kms away from Halls Gap.

    I have stayed at this Caravan/Cabin Park before, the cabin was very comfortable, warm and with a great hot shower. The kitchen had all the pots and pans I needed to cook up my own food rather than eating out. Its a couple K's from Ararat but close enough not to be a issue.

    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.
