Moonambel Hotel — Hotel in Grampians

Ever in search of some good walks and a moderately priced bed for the night, the Moonambel Hotel looked like a good bet. Stuart the publican made me feel very welcome.||When I inquired about a meal, although it was a Monday and typically pretty quiet, he offered to have meal prepared for me by his staff, which I greatly appreciated.||Just a short walk from the pub is the Redbank conservation reserve. In no time I was tackling a 250 odd metre incline through gnarly, box forest. This eventually became a ridge line with glorious views in all directions. With the aid of a hand held GPS, I was a able to navigate a 16km loop through stunning, elevated country. (I wouldn't advise tackling this country without one, or suitable maps). This is a 50 km long mountainous forest with many tracks, so there will be something for all level of walkers. And back at the pub, there was Coopers in the fridge and a filling chick schnitzel.

He rushed around sorting out one of the new rooms (which I think is not usually rented out) and had us sorted out after a couple of drinks in the bar when we arrived. Our motorcycles were put away for the night in a safe place which is always a plus. We sat down to a hearty meal and friendly banter until it was time for bed. Our price also included a cooked breakfast in the morning and real coffee. I would certainly recommend Moonambel Hotel to anyone who is...

It's the people who make a place: I love staying at Moonambel Resort Hotel when travelling through!!! This was my second time staying for one night. The host is incredibly welcoming and engaging. The food is lovely, with vegetarian option. When I arrived, a few local customers where waiting for their meal, and I was made extremely comfortable to join them. How lovely for a solo traveller to be made so welcomed and included!!! The room was quiet, good heater and an electric blanket. I was up for a very early start, and my delicious vegetarian breakfast was waiting for me. I was given great advice on the best route to take to continue...
