We stayed here for 1 night while in Ararat for a Ghost tour at J-ward. It was a great little place to stay. The owners are lovely and very friendly. The accommodation is clean and modern. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. We will definitely be back when staying in Ararat next. Thanks very much for your hospitality.

Have stayed in Ararat a couple of times for work, this jaunt was a bit longer at nine nights. Chris and Iain at the Chalambar showed us the best in hospitality. The rooms are the best value you'll find locally, nice and modern and have everything you need for a short stay. TV, micro, wifi, a/c. As close as it... More

Frankly I chose the Chalambar Motel based on price while travelling around the Grampians region. It ticked all the right boxes - clean, comfortable, safe, and generally had the appearance of being well looked after. No one's pretending it's five-star luxury, but I was very happy with what I got for the price. The only negative is it's right out... More

Stayed one night before visiting the Grampians. The rooms were refurbished, clean and comfortable but small and the owners were very helpful and friendly. On the northern outskirts of Ararat , set back from the Western Highway.

Lovely little town friendly people and this extends to this motel. The owner was polite, pleasant and very helpful. They are just new owners and seem to be doing a good job of running small town motels. It is a little out of the main centre of town but if you have a car it is a great choice of... More

We stayed in a family which was spacious, very clean and great value for money. The motel has obviously been renovated which is very tasteful - great beds and even though there was no bath - the seat in the shower was very handy as the shower came off and the kids could sit down so they didn't slip.

We stayed here with the family recently. The staff/owners of the motel were great, friendly people who made us feel welcome. the rooms were tidy and clean. Only slight annoyance was the noise from the trucks but that is hardy the fault of the motel. Overall an excellent stay.

My Partner and I stayed at this hotel for a weekend stay, the room was clean and cosy but was still comfortable for a short stay, the service was great and the location was convenient. I would definetely consider staying here again when in the area.
