Perfect location for our stay to enjoy the Grape Escape. Easy, beautiful walk to the festival grounds, comfortable accommodation for our group of 6. Large communal areas to enjoy with friends. Will keep it on our list for future stays in the gorgeous Grampians.

Happy with our stay and it met our expectations

The property is clean and well maintained. Some nice touches that made it feel homely. We loved the location. A short drive from town. Great views with kangaroos and emu's at your door.

A place to breathe

The property was well appointed and so comfortable. It was freezing outside but the house was cosy and warm. The views from the living areas were stunning, looking out to the mountain range with kangaroos and emus grazing close by. We usually stay closer to town, but this location was lovely and tranquil. Will definitely stay again!

Halls Gap Nature Hide !

Great three bedroom, 2 bathroom house, with large open living and kitchen. Terrific views of the Grampians with stunning sunsets over Halls Gap. Best of all was the 'neighbours' - emus, loads and loads of kangaroos (less than a metre away with Joey), hundreds of sulphur crested cockatoos, wood ducks, etc, etc every morning and evening. A real nature hide experience from your dining table !

Amazing Views

The accommodation was lovely. An amazing kitchen and pantry. As we were there during some very hot weather, it would be nice to have a second fan for the bedroom at the front. The biggest disappointment was there was really no place to sit outside and enjoy the amazing views and wild life. A porch or deck would really enhance the property. We would return but only if that was added.

Piccolo

Broken dining chair. Window in front left bedroom doesn't close properly. Toilet has flushing issues. Mound of gravel at front door inconvenient. BBQ and outdoor area would have been nice as the view is lovely.

Nice modern property

Nice new house but slightly disappointing. it certainly has so much potential. Would certainly come back though but not for a while to let things be fine tuned. Great location right near the Halls Gap hotel. It would be nice to have more of an outdoor area for watching the wildlife. A few basic items are missing like garbage bags and tissues. We ended up taking the rubbish with us as it was easier. Would recommend though as I understand it’s a new property
