Front desk was very kind and helpful. Room and bathrooms were clean. Showering is tricky due to the small shower head you can’t move, I’m short and kept hitting my head against the rack they have under the shower head trying to wash my hair. Minor thing but heads up. My bf, who is a lot taller figured he’d rather Wait for our next hotel check in to shower as we were there only one night. My only major complaint is that the mattress is small and firm which hurts my back but my bf felt fine. More my back sensitivity and preference though.

If you are wanting an alternative to the confines of a hotel or motel room, this is an ideal place to stay, remembering that bathroom facilities are shared. There are two comfortable sitting rooms and a garden to sit in with many different spaces from which to enjoy the mountain ranges and their beauty. One sitting room has a tv the other, thankfully, is free to enjoy a quiet read, although lighting could be better. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking and preparation spaces with a roomy dining area that overlooks a garden.

The property is located in the heart of the Grampians and is a good starting point for hikes, walks and other trips. The room was spacious and the toilets and showers very clean and tidy. The staff was friendly and helpful and gave good advice for trips and hikes. Kitchen area was generous and spacious and equipped with all things needed. At dawn time, we spotted a few roos right next to our room. I would definitely recommend sta3in the Grampians yha!

Amazing location and a few minutes walk from places to eat and convenience stores. You can easily plan a sunrise or sunset trip from the YHA and ample parking. Shared facilities and rooms are a little dilapidated but fine for one night as part of a road trip

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place used to be exceptional. It still has good bones but the standard of house keeping is very low and makes the accommodation feel shabby.When the office opened at 5pm and we checked in the toilet/shower block was dirty and hadn't been cleaned. When I turned my pillow over it was covered in long black hairs. The bins were still full of rubbish and the kitchen had been cleaned to a very poor standard. Two common areas that used to be for guests are now full of glass tanks containing reptiles including snakes. Is caring for these reptiles taking precedence over the housekeeping? The location is fantastic and the natural native setting is idyllic. With a bit more love from the present management the magic would return. I won't be going back unless management can improve a lot.

When I first stayed here, years ago, it was all about the eco-friendly aspects. This time, the solar panels had been removed (apparently not eco-friendly enough), the rammed earth walls had cracks and the shared bathroom showers were the equivalent of the Ofekenofee Swamp. But the staff were nice, the room was quiet and the local kangaroos friendly. There is lots of accommodation in Halls Gap: I'll be finding a different one next time.

Definitivt det beste hostellet jeg har vært på! Veldig hyggelig sted med hjelpsomt personale. Til og med kjøkkenet var koselig. Og beliggenhet var perfekt. Ekstra morsomt med kenguruer som gresser i bakgården hver kveld, og papegøyer som kommer og hilser på når du sitter utendørs😍 anbefaler det til alle som skal til grampians!

入住時間太短
一分钱一分貨！㕑具有些不能用或很骯髒。用戶不守規則所致。房內照明很暗。房門鎖有些不正常，鎖了也可以開。一定要撿查清楚才可離開。尚算滿意。可惜的是入住時間五点才可。
