The Mess and Barracks, hotel in Ararat

Set in Ararat and with J Ward Museum reachable within 1 km, The Mess and Barracks offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The hotel features family rooms.

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.

G'Day Parks Ararat, hotel in Ararat

Located in a tranquil bush setting in Ararat, G'Day Parks Ararat offers cabin accommodation with a private patio and barbecue area. Free private parking is available on site.

The property is clean with well equipped parking, I felt safe and secure on site and the cabbing heating was on without even having to ask for it! As a smoker there is ashtrays on every cabin which I wasn’t aware of before booking. Ashtray was cleaned before use and the cabin I stayed in I couldn’t fault. Felt like home away from home and will be staying there 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.

    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.

    Everything I want and expect from a small country hotel. The rooms are very clean and comfortable beds. The facilities were fine, the bar was warm and welcoming, the staff were really friendly, and the food in the restaurant was tasty and great value. Great selection of local wines as well. And while some people might be put off by shared bathrooms, it doesn't worry me, and its part of the charm of small pubs. And its more than made up for by the price

    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.

    Simple motel but well thought out, lovely people running the place and everything I needed for a good stay while in Ararat for work. Comfortable bed, dark at night, bit of highway noise but not enough to disrupt sleep. Really clean.

    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.

    Secure surrounds very close to cafes and pubs. The room was excellent but remember the facilities are shared. A very easy check in at the RSL and easy to depart. If I was in Ararat, I would certainly consider returning

    Much nicer than a hotel: the unit has a garden and layout is more like a home with window that opens with fly screens for fresh air.
