Gariwerd Motel  

Perched in the heart of Halls Gap on the edge of the Grampians, this pet-friendly, family-friendly motel sits minutes from The Pinnacle, Venus Baths, Delleys Bridge and Grampians National Park. Halls Gap Zoo, local wineries and Red Rock Olive Estate are all an easy drive away.

This compact, down-to-earth motel has 23 air-conditioned rooms with private patios, flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Expect simple comforts—refrigerators, coffee/tea makers, complimentary toiletries and a communal kitchen—plus locals you won’t forget: kangaroos often graze on the grounds.

Standouts include awesome free fast Wi‑Fi throughout, a garden with picnic and barbecue areas, a massage room and hiking trails from the doorstep. There’s a playroom for kids, babysitting services (surcharge), a gift shop/convenience store and handy tour assistance to book Grampians adventures.

Conference space and a meeting room are available, with high-speed internet, free self-parking, luggage storage, printing/photocopy services, laundry and dry-cleaning to keep business trips smooth.

A continental breakfast is served daily (fee applies), and an on-site restaurant plus a snack bar/deli keep things easy. Rooms offer coffee/tea makers and selected rooms include complimentary tea or instant coffee, while a shared kitchen lets you cook up local produce after a day on the trails.
