We stayed one night at Mt Sturgeon one-bedroom cottage, it's a beautiful property with a great view of Mt Sturgeon. Comfortable bed, but the pillow was too firm for me.

最高の立地のコテッジ！自然の中での一泊でした。すぐ前には羊の放牧地では沢山の羊がおり、周りを気にしない場所で暖炉有る部屋で静かな夜を過ごしましたシャワーだけでなく、バスタブが有ればなお良かったと思いました。。

This Royal Mail truly Delivers.

Situated in the shadow of Mt. Sturgeon The Royal Mail Hotel offers a choice of accommodation to suit all type of visitors. On a recent trip I stayed in the One Bedroom Apartment and it was more like a home. An abundance of space over two levels and simply yet adequately furnished to make it feel like home away from home. The Garden Cottages are more compact but still very, very roomy. Duikelt is small but there are a few options for food, from breakfast to dinner. If you don't want to leave the Royal Mail grounds then I highly recommend the onsite casual dining restaurant, the Parker St Project. Don't let 'causal dining' fool you - the menu is intriguing, and the food excellent. Wiht an extensive drinks list you really are spoilt for choice.

Staff were very welcoming. The room was beautiful and we enjoyed the view of the Grampians. We dined in the restaurant and staff were great and the food delicious. We would happily return for another stay.

Lovely but pricey

The hotel specifically was very nice but feel wasnt deserving of a $245 p/n stay. Maybe $200...but that was just our thoughts. Had a meal across the road and it was og high quality.

wonderful surprise in grampian country

I was looked after very well by all the staff and the food was to die for, and , all of this in a small village in country Victoria, miles from Melbourne and Adelaide. If one person can create this dream imagine what could be done with small country towns if people of similar circumstances did likewise. It creates employment, encourages tourism and prevents these towns from becoming ghost towns, I will be back , with my wife and a few friends , to enjoy the experience all over again. Miguel Zalapa.

Everything was excellent except not having any ice for our room and the staff asked us to go across the street and ask the cafe if they had ice. The cafe didn't have ice either. The staff and wait staff were fantastic especially Myriam and Kate.

Have stayed at Royal Mail periodically over the past 18 years. Love the scenic outlook. Rooms comfortable but a bit tied. Dining at Parkers an amazing experience. Staff excellent. Can't wait to return.

Well Worth It

The hotel was pleasant; the purpose of the stay was to dine at the hotel's restaurant. The restaurant was worth every penny, even if we did need lots of pennies. We compare the hotel's restaurant favourably against the Berowra Waters Inn on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney. Being at the foot of the Grampians was a nice scenic addition.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, they offered a free lift from our rooms to the restaurant and back. They were very informative about the local area. An absolute delight. I had never been to the Grampians, I highly recommend them.
