- Lynette (9/5): Quiet, peaceful location, close to facilities in the main street and overall a lovely place to stay. - Beautiful, peaceful location. We came to Dunkeld for their annual race meeting and it was an easy walk to the track from our cottage. Small point - the non-stick frying pans {one in particular} had layers of the non-stick coating exposed and peeling. I did leave the worst one on the bench, suggesting it be replaced,

- Robyn (8/5): Quiet and convenient - Electric Blanket Adjoining wall
- Karen (8/5): It was a nice stay and just what we needed - Tracy was fantastic from start to finish!!
The gardens and the quiet area beside the MT William cabin just added to our stay. It was like being in our own little world. Would have loved to light a fire if we had had the time.
The heater in the bedroom was perfect for our cool nights and warm days during our stay.
We enjoyed the spa too The beds could be softer
The cleaning could be done more deeply. But it passed the under bed test !
The bathrobes hanging in the closet were a great idea but after touching them I think they were better off to be hanging in the bathroom.

The cottages are surrounded by beautiful native trees and garden with plenty of flat area for children to play, a volleyball net, cubby house, communal undercover BBQ area with a large table and chairs. Each log cabin has a verandah with comfy chairs and a box of split wood refilled daily for the cabins canarra. The cabins also have a wall heater and split system for cooling.
The cabins are extremely clean and welcoming, with a well stocked kitchen, magazines, TV, couches, large dining table and chairs and extremely comfortable beds. Towels and linen are provided.
The staff live on site and are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We would definitely stay at the Grampians Cottages again and highly recommend them to couples or families. Dunkeld is a gorgeous town and only 20 minutes from Hamilton. Not far from Hamilton are two waterfalls and scenic drives to picturesque towns such as Casterton.

The queen bed is comfy. The grounds and the gum trees are stunning and so close to a walk into Dunkeld. We will definitely be back!

- Cailey (10/5): Beautiful scenery, cozy cabin. - The cabins were really well set up. Everything you need is already there. Things that are often missing in accommodation kitchens were there and easy to find (mixing bowls, potato peeler, oil, salt and pepper as some examples.) The fire was already set and there was firewood waiting at the door. Really anything you need for a cozy trip away. Staff were accommodating and friendly. The area itself is absolutely gorgeous. We spent our mornings out exploring nature and our afternoons relaxing by the fire. Perfect weekend.
