Hi. I'm Karen. We have been hosting Aussie and international guests since 2011 and understand the traveller's needs. Self check-in is available so you don't need to contact me and tell me that you are running late because your adventure has been so exciting that time got away on you. Your room will be ready and unlocked for you at 2pm. If I see you drive in, I will come over and say G'Day. Just drive across the grass and park out the front and let yourselves in. Teas and coffee, cereal, bread and spreads and 2 litres of fresh milk are always provided free of charge. Our mini bar has lots of things for you to buy like frozen meals, desserts, icecream, cheese, crackers, wine, sweet biscuits, chocolates etc. Cash please. There are maps of the Grampians available in your room too.
