The property was beautiful, well maintained and well presented. The owner arranged everything at very short notice late at night as many of the family members had travelled from various locations within both Victoria and NSW. Nothing was any trouble and the owners communication was prompt, polite and very compassionate towards our circumstances. This morning I met the cleaning staff and again nothing was any trouble and they were very polite, considerate and compassionate towards me in relation to our circumstances.

We stayed here on a Saturday night because we were doing one of the local ghost tours in town. They were currently in the middle of a renovation when we stayed, but that didn’t bother us. We were in a newly renovated room and it was really good. Nicely done, great bathroom, good amenities and the service was good too. The location is great because it’s a two minute walk from the main street with good local shops and restaurants. I would recommend staying here if you need somewhere in Ararat.

I thought the rooms where clean and comfortable. I arrived at 3.30 a m. The owner allowed an extra 30 mins. sleep in. i.e. 10:30 a.m checkout. Much appreciated. The owner is very polite and friendly. Will definitely come back in the future Thank-you!

Lovely setting - enjoyed being next to the fields with the alpacas. Lots of wildlife, good bird watching. Nice view over mountains at sunset. Good location 30 mins from Halls Gap. Very clean and well-maintained. Comfortable bed. Well provisioned kitchen. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and cereal were a lovely bonus.

Ararat is a lovely town in itself and has everything you need, town hall, art gallery, many shops, antiques, eating places, gift shops, swimming pool, indoor and out, recreation, park, drives up to Halls Gap and tourist attractions areas. Didn't like the mess and Barracks much, it was cheap and very pub style.

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.

The Courthouse Hotel Ararat exceeded my expectations! I was in an apartment attached to the hotel. It was extremely clean, with everything you need. If you’re looking for history this hotel has it in buckets. it is a beautiful 150+ years old hotel in the centre of Ararat. Step out the door and you’re in the main street of Ararat. The apartment also had fabulous views to the mountains. Brian the owner is very helpful and friendly. The meals are lovely. 10/10!

Sadly I was unable to try the breakfast other than a cup of tea and a couple of Kookas Country Cookies due to time constraints. This motel actually has premium toilet paper (4 ply) and a good range of toiletries for use and as well, has about the best shower I have ever used, it is awesome. Walking distance to the RSL, hotels and cafes.

This is a friendly, great value hotel to stay at right in the main Street of Ararat. Clean, well presented room with convenient access. Bistro menu offered a good selection and breakfasts were freshly cooked to order. we enjoyed talking to the friendly staff and plenty of locals enjoying the Barkly.
