Great base to explore Grampians
Stayed for 5 days over Christmas - 4 of us in total (couple and parents-in-law). Cottage was a great base for exploring the area, and nice and comfortable. Very quiet for relaxing and sleeping, and plenty of kangaroos and birds visiting the property. Simple but decently equipped, we were able to make a Christmas dinner in the kitchenette. Friendly and communicative management, no issue with us arriving a bit late. Would definitely recommend and consider coming back if we visit the Grampians again.

Fantastic family friendly, spacious cottages.
We ABSOLUTELY loved our stay at Pomonal Cottages Grampians. The cottages are spacious and well equipped, the pool and recreation area is great, we enjoyed our wood burning stove each night. They had a big library of DVDs for family movie night. I had to do some work and the WiFi is excellent (recently upgraded and a repeater on each cottage I was told). The couple that run the place are super sweet and friendly. Overall big thumbs up from us and we’d come back in a heartbeat

Nice Vintage Cottage surround with Nature
We loved the place the most among all staying during our Melbourne trip, surround with nature & kangaroo, we can even see kangaroo from our living & bedroom window, my son was super excited & happy. We were too busy to plan the trip ahead, friendly owner gave us comprehensive information that made our plan much easier. The cottage is nice Vintage design, Grampians has minimal eateries choice, a decent kitchen is good for us to prepare simple meals, only problem is the kitchen is equipped with only stainless steel pan /pot which is quite hard to use, could be most travelers do not know how to use non-stick pan, there's a non-stick pan full with scratches that we did not use. Overall is nice, suitable for family, although they didn't provide cot that highlighted but the bed is low which good for kids below 4.

We had a great stay at Pomona Cottages for the 5 nights around New Year's Eve. Our cottage was clean, comfortable, functional and flexible as we needed to accommodate extended as well as immediate family. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and communicated well both before and during our stay. We appreciated having the lawn area outside for frisbee, cricket and soccer, and the kids made use of the pool and recreation area (which included a selection of DVDs and books, and table tennis.) The bbq area was well appointed too. We liked being in a quieter spot than the bumper to bumper camping sites at Halls Gap, yet it was only a short drive to get there for shopping, or to many of the lovely walks. We would certainly recommend this spot to family and friends.

Very pleasant stay in Pomonal Cottages
We had a very nice stay in Pomonal Cottages, our cabin was very well furnished and spacious, with everything that we needed. Jenni, the owner, is a very nice and welcoming person and we loved talking to her. She stayed up to wait for us so she could give us the key and show us everything in the cottage. She also helped us with deciding which hikes to do. The cottages are very well maintained and very cozy, we stayed for two nights. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and we loved the Grampians.

Very nice hosts and convenient & quiet place
Our family stayed for two nights, and the hosts are warm-heart to help us to plan trips; the location is very convenient to reach and the cottage is tidy and quiet, surrounded by small wild animals (rabbit and kangaroo) kids love to watch and chase. All facilities are excellent, including full kitchen and laundry. Unfortunately the free WiFi doesn't cover our cottage, which is a bit disappointing since all of them need it for fun, so have to use our own data. Hope next time the WiFi can cover all living area, which is normal in most motels. Would like to recommend to all friends who want to have a rest in Grampians!

Just what our family needed
From the warm welcome, to the simple yet super cute and well equipped cabins it was a wonderful experience. It's just what our family needed, no frills, warm, nice views, super kid friendly and so relaxing. With everything you need to make your stay perfect we were really happy. So close to Halls Gap and other attractions without the hussle and bustle of bigger sites.
