Tarrington Farm Stay
Lovely home, with everything that was needed Kids loved playing outside and with all the toys provided Loved the peace and quite Would recommend

Beautiful Grampians views, comfort, space & peace
A true hidden gem in Victoria! The property is even more picturesque than the photos suggest, offering breathtaking views of the Grampians and surrounded by rich birdlife and native wildlife. Everything is exceptionally well kept. Kerry was an outstanding host—quick to respond and incredibly helpful. I definitely plan to return for a longer visit.

Wongaburra Woolshed
We had such an amazing time at Chris and Justin’s place! It was so peaceful and serene and exactly what we wanted as an escape to the country. Chris and Justin were so welcoming and friendly! They gave incredibly helpful instructions and were always in communication with us leading up to the trip. The place was incredibly quiet and private and had such beautiful scenery of the Australian outback. It was so great to be able to walk around the property and see all the wildlife and horses, which Chris and Justin were so passionate and informative about. 10/10 stay! Would definitely recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

Glenfern Cottage
Beautiful old farm house surrounded by stunning scenery. The house has everything you need, nice and cosy in the middle of winter with the wood fire. The outdoor baths and fire pit were a hit. So much to do in the area, we loved Budj Bim and the Byaduk Caves. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. Thank you Belle for creating this awesome place

On 80 Acres Off-grid lux overlooking the Grampians
We loved our second stay at Boulder's, this is a magnificently scenic area, and a beautiful house on a quiet, well-maintained property. Zane was a fantastic host, going above and beyond to ensure that we had plenty of power and were enjoying our stay despite the lack of nice weather!

Pinot Suite at Rear Homestead
Comfortable bed with nice linen and basic cooking equipment if you want something simple to eat in the room. Clean and good value for a night or 2.

McIntyre homestead
Ned's place is a good mix of character and comfort. Wide open farm surrounds, with a fruit tree orchard and sheep grazing in the distance. Bedrooms were cozy and kitchen was well equipped. Has a pool table and board games to keep yourself entertained. Communication was proactive

Your guide to Dunkeld
Welcome to Dunkeld
Nestled at the foot of Mount Sturgeon (Wurgarri), the southern tip of the Grampians mountains in southwestern Victoria, the charming rural town of Dunkeld makes a fine base for exploring the spectacular Grampians National Park, which draws walkers from all over the world for its dramatic scenery and Aboriginal heritage. Yet Dunkeld has draws of its own, including a fascinating historical museum set in a bluestone Presbyterian church built by the town’s predominantly Scottish settlers.
Dotted with cafes and boutiques, Dunkeld is also home to one of regional Victoria’s top fine-dining restaurants, set in a historic pub. Burn off a memorable meal with a vigorous hike up Mount Sturgeon (Wurgarri), which affords panoramic views of the surrounding ranges (allow three hours for the seven-kilometre round trip), or travel deeper into the national park to explore stunning hiking trails, breathtaking lookout points, and well-preserved Aboriginal rock art sites. Dunkeld also sits on the Grampians Way, a scenic driving trail encircling the national park that takes in a handful of country towns and wineries.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Dunkeld
The Grampians’ busy season runs from the September school holidays until after Easter, when the weather is warm and the skies are generally clear. Spring is the best time to see wildflowers in all their glory, both in the national park and at the Grampians Flora Botanic Garden at Halls Gap, a 45-minute drive north of Dunkeld, which sets the stage for the Grampians Wildflower Show, typically held in late September. Also in spring, Dunkeld hosts the 3 Peaks Festival, an outdoor market showcasing local crafts, food, drinks, music, and kids’ activities. In March, the Australian String Quartet comes to town for the three-day Dunkeld Festival of Music. While the winter months can be chilly in the Grampians, it’s a great time to escape the crowds in Grampians National Park, and relax by a cosy log fire.
Top things to do in Dunkeld
Grampians Peaks Trail
Fully opened in 2021, the Grampians Peaks Trail is a 160-kilometre, 13-day hiking route through the rugged interior of Grampians National Park, with campsites at the end of each leg. The hike can also be broken up into more manageable chunks for those who are unable to or prefer not to carry provisions for the full 13-day adventure.
Wineries
Particularly well known for its sparkling wines and Shiraz, the Grampians has been a quality wine-producing region for more than 150 years. The largest concentration of wineries lies in the eastern Grampians, but there are also two cellar doors near Hamilton, just 30 minutes southwest of Dunkeld, which are well worth seeking out.
Dunkeld Arboretum
Arguably Dunkeld’s best-kept secret, Dunkeld Arboretum is a tranquil spot to take a stroll in nature, with walking tracks and interpretative signage. Visit at sunset for beautiful photography opportunities looking across the ponds towards Mount Abrupt (Mud-Dadjug).
