Halls Gap in 5 days

If you only have 5 days to spend in Halls Gap, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Halls Gap is the main gateway to Victoria’s Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park, known for its rugged sandstone ranges, scenic lookouts and prolific native wildlife like kangaroos and wallabies that often graze near town. Visitors come for hiking trails to landmarks such as the Pinnacle, Mackenzie Falls and Boroka Lookout, which offer sweeping views over valleys and lakes. The village itself has a relaxed, small-town feel with cafes, galleries and easy access to walking tracks, rock-climbing sites and nearby wineries. It’s also a base for learning about local Aboriginal culture, with rock art sites and the Brambuk Cultural Centre located in the area.
With favorites like Pinnacle Lookout, Gelato Guys, and Sundial Carpark, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Halls Gap Bakery and The Grand Halls Gap so you can get the best taste of Halls Gap while you’re here.

Indian restaurant
The Spirit of Punjab is a renowned Indian restaurant in Regional Victoria, offering an array of authentic Indian dishes. From samosas to tandoori paneer tikka and butter chicken, the restaurant presents a menu with 90 different flavorful options. The establishment prides itself on using fresh ingredients and ground spices to create traditional Indian flavors. Whether dining in or opting for takeaway, guests can indulge in genuine Indian cuisine at reasonable prices.
I had a delightful experience at Spirit of Punjab! The atmosphere was inviting and the staff were friendly. Food came out quickly and there were a lot of vegan options! The onion bhaji and tofu dahl were delicious! The mild level of spice was suitably mild. Unfortunately there were no vegan desserts but the field of bounding kangaroos was an amazing addition to the experience. I look forward to coming back in the future!

My experience for this restaurant was wonderful. The very first attracting thing was the ambience and the very first entrance where they have decorated a really good sculptures and the decor is awesome. Their food is extremely delicious. We had a really good family dinner there. One of the best Indian restaurants in Halls gap. The Staff is really good. The service was really quick. We had a good experience and the backside of the restaurant is also really nice. The sitting area is vast large and huge. I just love everything about this place.

I was excited to try and support a local business. Definitely good quality, and great flavours. I ordered takeout and arrived 10 minutes before I had requested it to be ready. Lucky I did this as it was already sitting waiting for me. I was only a few minutes drive away, but things weren’t hot, and the onion bhaji were soggy. I had requested on the order that each individual dish be as mild as possible. I also requested on the overall order that things please be as mild as possible. This didn’t happen. The butter chicken was the spiciest butter chicken I’ve had. The kids also struggled. I wish I’d dined in. I think I would have had more luck with temperature, maybe I would have been able to explain better in person how I’d needed things to be. If ever I was to go back, I’d want to try and order in person and to try and take things when they were fresh and hot.

Today we visited Spirit of Punjab in Halls Gap, and the experience was truly wonderful. The restaurant gives a warm and welcoming feel from the moment you enter. The interior has a cozy, traditional touch that reflects Indian culture, making the atmosphere peaceful and family-friendly. Surrounded by the beautiful Halls Gap scenery, it feels like the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed meal. The food was the real highlight — authentic Indian flavours, well-balanced spices, and freshly prepared dishes. Each item tasted like true home-style cooking rather than overly commercial restaurant food. The portions were satisfying and nicely presented. For anyone who loves genuine Indian cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting. Another thing that made our experience special was the service. The staff were very kind, polite, and attentive. They served with a smile, checked on us at the right times, and made us feel comfortable throughout our meal. Overall, Spirit of Punjab is a great combination of great food, pleasant vibes, and excellent service. If you are in Halls Gap and craving Indian food, this restaurant is a must-visit. We would love to come back again.

We were really looking forward to trying Spirit of Punjab, but the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The Chicken Malai Tikka tasted like plain boiled chicken quickly heated in the oven, and the Tandoori Chicken was very similar — extremely mild, almost tasteless spices and just a few minutes in the tandoor. For mains, the Chicken Karhai was okay but lacked the rich, authentic flavours we hoped for. For an Indian restaurant, the food tasted more like a British version of Indian cuisine — very bland and not true to the traditional style. Overall, the dishes felt under-seasoned and not authentically prepared. We hope they improve the flavours and cooking methods, because the place has potential.

The Kookaburra Hotel offers a relaxed dining experience with a sophisticated bistro menu and local wine selection. During the winter, visitors can enjoy the cozy ambiance by the roaring fire after a day of hiking. Guests have praised the delicious seafood barramundi paired with local chardonnay and appreciated the attentive service, especially for dietary restrictions like gluten-free options. The restaurant is also known for its fantastic meals, including flavorful soups and fresh fish and chips with homemade tartare sauce.
Just had a meal at the Kookaburra Hotel in Halls Gap and it was perfect. I had the full Porterhouse steak with Green Peppercorn gravy and my wife had the Kangaroo in their super secret sauce. We asked for rare and it was served...rare!!! Unbelievable! Most places can't get this right, these guys know how to cook! The meals were perfect, the service was perfect and the drinks and atmosphere were just amazing. Not to mention everything was well priced. Loved it so much, would be back here again night after night if we weren't only here on holiday. Perfect! UPDATE: We forced ourselves to have dessert. Shared a vanilla bean pannacotta and a tiramisu. As before, perfection! Don't miss this place!

We visited the Kookaburra hotel for dinner while in town. First the staff were very welcoming and accommodating to fit us in without a booking. The waitstaff are amazing at customer service, so friendly and polite. They genuinely look very happy to be there. Then we had our meals; a chicken parmigiana and a steak, prompt to arrive and everything cooked to perfection- Thankyou chef. As visitors to the area we were very impressed with not only the staff and food but the overall atmosphere. If you want an amazing meal and exceptional service we definitely recommend the Kookaburra hotel!!

Today was a hard day. I bogged my car first thing in the morning which lead to an hour and a half of digging, I then hiked kilometre after kilometre through the grampians ranges seeing alm I could. Needless to say by the time I rolled into halls gap i was famished, on my last legs, begging for release, thats when I saw it, a venom brewing sign in the distance. My heart sighed its own breath of relief as i knew there was a pub nearby, The Kookaburra Hotel. At first I arrived a little early (an issue im working on) and eaiting for the magical doors to open. I sampled the most delectable brew I could of hoped for; The Laughing Lager, crisp, cold, refreshing, perfect. I couldn't help but stay here just a while longer, I waited patiently for the kit hen to open so I could order the Italian Lamb with the handsome Luke and Chris who were minding the bar keeping everyone happy. Sooner than expected the man himself Jace stepped out from the kitchen with the most magnifient build and beard I've ever seen in my life, no doubt a direct decadence of Zeus himself, set the plate down infornt of me with the simple word "Enjoy" and by crikey if it wasn't the most magnificent lamb that I've ever tasted in all my years. The meat was was soft and tender like the embrace of a lover lost to time. The veggies so incredibly flavoursome I couldn't help but deny anything this good could really be real. Needless to say my Times at the Kookaburra Tavern, was no less than heavenly, blissful, inspiring, and encouraging. I live over in W.A so the chances I get to visit again are low, but staff olease know that upon my death bed, when my children ask me for my final words of wisdom and life advice I shall tell them; "Goto the Kookaburra Hotel."

Best meals we had while in Halls Gap! Totally chipped out by dinners at other places, the Kookaburra offered a full range of meals that suited everyone - kids, vegos, pub classics and proper meals. Best kangaroo I've had in over 20 years! Good service, good drinks list and a pool table - what more would you want? Definitely ring ahead to book a table though, otherwise you could be disappointed.

Very disappointing service and rude staff. Was aggressively spoken to and told to put our names on the list for a table and would be an hour wait, three times. We did put our names on the list, but we were with our child so couldn’t wait. We sat down with a drink in the lounge area and owner came and sat down at the table next door working on her laptop and spoke to her staff member and dropped a fbomb in front of us. Not appropriate in front of small children. We decided to leave, my husband gave some feedback to the male staff member that the female staff member spoke to us aggressively and he was told it pays to book and she’s the owner so she can do what she wants. Not if she wants business, this is not a family friendly establishment. Can’t comment on the food but I wouldn’t waste your money.

Raccolto Pizzeria, located on Heath Street, is a popular dining spot in Halls Gap. The cozy restaurant offers a range of delicious wood-fired, thin-crust pizzas as well as parmigiana and crisp salads. Visitors can enjoy the warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with an outside log fire. The authentic Italian pizzas are known for their perfect crust and delicious flavors. Additionally, the restaurant provides vegetarian options and fondue of cheeses cooked in a wood-fired oven.
We visited Emily’s restaurant a couple of times over the weekend and absolutely loved the ambiance, vibe, and overall energy. The food is top-notch and freshly prepared—you can really taste the quality in the soft pizza dough and the flavorful sauce. There’s also a great wine selection. We even stopped by the winery to pick up a few bottles after leaving Halls Gap. Huge thanks to Emily and the chef—fantastic work! We’ll definitely be back on our next trip. A+!

We have nothing but praise and fantastic memories thanks to Raccolto Pizzaria. From the minute we stepped in our express nothing less than fabulous. The owner is super friendly and attentive, happy to help and answer questions about anything from food intolerances and options available to local spots you have to visit and experience. It was super busy when we arrived in Halls Gap due to an event being held over the weekend, but service didn’t falter. We can’t recommend this gorgeous little restaurant enough !!

We ordered two pizzas from Raccolto Pizzeria in Halls gap, in person because the only other option was to place the order through their website. We were warm and cozy in our motel room, but decided to drive to the shop because we didn’t know how long the pizzas would take or what the expected wait time was. When we ordered, they didn’t ask any questions—such as the type of base we wanted or any other usual options that allow customers to personalise their pizzas. We were told to wait 10 minutes, and, to be fair, the pizzas were ready on time. When we returned to our motel room, we couldn’t tell what condiments were on the pizzas. My husband had asked for jalapeños and counted only about six slices. I ordered the Beef Delight, but my pizza looked and tasted bad—I couldn’t see or taste any beef. Everything looked unappetising and was impossible to eat. The pizzas were not cheap—each cost around $30. This so-called Italian pizza place seriously needs to improve the quality, flavour, and ingredients of their pizzas. I would not recommend it. Since I didn’t dine in, I cannot comment on the service or atmosphere inside the venue—but the pizzas were awful, as shown in the photos.

What an amazing hidden gem of a place which serves amazing wood fired pizzas and cannoli. Shoutout for the amazing service which complimented the food and also elevated our overall experience. We wanted to enjoy the pizza there but then decided to do takeaway. Waited outside next to the fire pit and the lady at counter offered complementary marshmallows and that set up the mood of all members of different age group. Finally, moment of truth - each 🍕 was work of an art and really delicious. The toppings were generous and quality is something which you can feel in each and every bite. Italian Roasted Pork Pizza - highly recommend to any pork lover, absolute beauty 😍. Vegetarian Special Pizza - It was on specials mentioned on the whiteboard and sure azz loved up to its name. Cheese and Garlic Focaccia - Now cheese and garlicky bread is so simple and yet one of the most difficult and these guy's really nailed it....each bite was perfectly balanced and this was a banger... Will be visiting again and highly recommended to anyone who wants to enjoy the pizza in Halls Gap, give it a shot and enjoy. PS : Thanks for the amazing Cannoli which was offered....I'm having a bite of it with my coffee and it tastes 😋. What a jewel in Halls Gap.

Fantastic pizza in the heart of Halls Gap. They can get super busy and overwhelmed at peak times, so be patient and ready to wait if need be. If you're dining in be sure to order the wood fired cheese which is like a fondue for dipping bread fingers – it's super delicious and not available take away.

The best focaccia I’ve ever had is here. The pizza was also damn good - the dough here is exceptional and hard to beat. I’d happily travel 3 hours from Melbourne just to come back here for the Wood fired cheese and focaccia. As a foodie from Melbourne, I don’t think I’ve had anything quite like it (seems so simple yet so difficult to find). The wood fire cheese was mixed in with honey and walnuts so it was creamy and balanced. Paired with the wood fired focaccia, it was a pair to die for. Will absolutely return. Kudos to the kitchen.

Me and my friend visited this lovely café right in Grampians town, and it was such a nice experience. The person there was super welcoming and friendly. We had a chicken burger that was absolutely delicious — it came with fries, and we also ordered a bowl of fries that was a huge portion and really tasty.

Such a great little cafe set in a beautiful place. We both had the eggs Benedict with a hash brown and a coffee. Definitely in my top 3 ever eggs Benny. So tasty. The sourdough bread was this and fresh, as we're the eggs. The has brown was clearly not your typical frozen and fried type. I highly recommend this place, if you're in the area. The team are so very friendly as well. A truly relaxing and enjoyable experience.

The barramundi mains exceeded my expectations, the skin had a lovely crust and fish moist & the parsnip puree and sautéed vegetables went really well together. One of the rare times I'd be willing to pay 28 AUD in dining out haha. My husband loved his shakshouka and added on chorizo, but given the big portion he regretted it lol tho he's usually a big eater. The cappuccino was amazing- fragrant aroma, rich creamy milk and nice chocolate notes and the best I've had in this trip & same for my husband where it's on par or even better than Patricia's in the CBD. Really appreciate the warm ambience and friendly staff esp Justin and Oliver! :) Do note that the kitchen closes 1 hour ahead of closing ie 3pm, we didn't know and came at 2.55pm so were lucky

Stellar beer, good food, and great atmosphere. Started off with a beer paddle and some food and stayed for more beer. 👌 Loved every beer we tried. The standouts for me were the Dark Vader, Red 67, and the Blood Orange Sour. The food was very good. My burger was perfect, and my partner's Schnitzel was too. We bought some take-aways - the cheesecake Sour was delicious (yes, I love sours) and the Red 67. We didn't buy enough as it disappeared very quickly 😂

Paper Scissors Rock Brew Co is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy craft beer. They have an excellent selection of freshly brewed beers on tap, and the tasting paddle for $20 is a fantastic way to try a variety of styles before settling on your favorite. The food was tasty as well – I had a burger that hit the spot after a long day of hiking in the national park. However, one drawback was that the kitchen didn’t seem to pay much attention to cooking preferences. We ordered two burgers: one medium and one medium-rare, but all of them came out well-done. Luckily, the flavor was still good, and we were hungry enough to enjoy it, but it’s something that really needs improvement. Overall, I’d give this place 4 stars today. The beer alone makes it worth visiting, and the food has potential, but if the team doesn’t start paying closer attention to customer requests, the rating could easily drop next time.

What a great way to start our two night Hall's Gap stay. Easy atmosphere to relax into and sample some brew with a good range of snacks and meals to choose from. The charcuterie board was the perfect choice for us that night as we were not too hungry but still managed to clean up the generous serve for two. The only problem we had was wanting to try all eight brews... And at $20 for a paddled selection of four it was only too easy to just buy two paddles and go for it! I'm not a big drinker so would've loved a smaller serve as I hate to waste. So even though I left not walking entirely straight it was definitely a fun time I do not regret. And couldn't leave without buying a "growler"... Much to my partners delight, a 1.8L big brown bottle of your favourite brew to take home and refill.

At Halls Gap Bakery, the veggie pastie contained a typical mix of vegetables including peas, potato, and corn, providing a familiar and comforting taste. It had a good amount of filling. The sausage roll was enjoyable. They offer a standard selection of desserts typical of country town bakeries. The jam donut was overly sweet and somewhat greasy. The various salad rolls looked delectable. Service was generally friendly from the two young ladies working there. However, on a previous visit, the staff seemed grumpy, leading to a decision to leave and return another time.

They were extremely short staffed due to illness but the manager was dealing with the situation amazingly well and still gave us friendly service and was available when we needed extra towels etc. All in all it was 'cheap and cheerful' and just fine for our needs for two nights.

You book remotely at the moment. There is no one on site, and everything is done by sms for access codes. The place is clean and functional with easy access to town on foot. Place needs a lot of TLC, renovation, and staff on site to open bars and restaurants. I give her 3 stars as she is an old lady who has known better days and is still OK for a short stay. My wife and I were the only 2 people there for 2 nights, but at least it didn't end like "The Shining." It's definitely not the worst place I've stayed in.

DON’T BOOK with this hotel! Absolute SCAM! Most horrible hotel experience so far! If I could, I would give 0 stars! We arrived and checked in over the phone. What was suspicious about it was that they were surprised that we had a booking. They then allocated us a room and we collected our luggage. Once in the room, we realised that it simply hadn't been cleaned since the last guests. The beds were not made and used wet towels were lying around. The bathroom was also dirty. In general, the room was not very clean. We then tried to contact the hotel again by phone - of course, nobody was available anymore. After four weeks without any response from the hotel and no refund yet, we are now looking into our legal options.

This place needs a lot of love and care. The room was not very clean (carpet quite gross). See the photos. The service was good. We got an upgrade, but the room I would have stayed in was worse than what I just mentioned. However, the location is excellent. Probably about the cheapest place in Halls Gap. But I don't think I will come back again.

To start this off, the staff I dealt with were lovely. There is so much potential in this stay, but we can't deny the obvious of the building. Its old, it has a homey feel but it definitely needs some work. There are renovations happening which is a good sign. Its in a perfect location. If you aren't going to be in your rooms for much of your stay if recommend. I think its a bit pricey for what you get. Lights didn't work, what I booked didn't match the room I was given. There's a cool communal area but it can be inconvenient if people stay up late being noisy as for the rooms next to it. I'm glad a bought ear plugs as I could hear the next room snoring as the walls are paper thin. Like I said, perfect location and heaps of potential to the place and I'm sure over time it will get there.
Amy S — Google review
One of the worst place we have ever stayed at! The place needs to be knocked down, not renovated The rooms were in an abysmal un-renovated state. The sliding door would only close if you locked the door. The outdoor porch/garden area to eat our breakfast was more weeds than plants The bathroom would make an episode on a home repair show happy. The toilet wasn't even stable to sit on??? No sound proofing mean that the band playing could be heard in all its "glory", then our delightful neighbours night time endeavours meant for a VERY interrupted sleep.

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Nestled at the base of the stunning Grampians mountain ranges, Halls Gap Zoo offers an enriching experience with over 160 species of native and exotic mammals, reptiles, and birds. This regional zoo is perfect for families, featuring animal encounters and endangered species breeding programs. The wheelchair-friendly 2.
We stumbled upon the zoo during our visit to the Grampians. The animals are well cared for with spacious enclosure to roam around. The close encounter for a fee is well worth it. We opted for the red panda encounter and it's the best $100 spent for 15 mins of close encounter of possibly the cutest animal on earth. Mo, the red panda, was very friendly and walked around us for photo opportunities in exchange of apple treats. The zoo keeper is knowledgeable and take good care of him. Caution though that their claws aren't retractable so might be best to ask for a blanket to put over your knees to avoid getting unintentionally scratched. Other animals are healthy and happy looking. The wombat was sun bathing upside down!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience at Halls Gap Zoo From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful and welcoming this zoo is. A special shoutout to the lovely young lady at the front desk her warm smile and wonderful help set the tone for the day. The girl working in the food van was absolutely incredible friendly, efficient, and so lovely to chat with. And to the amazing keepers who guided us through the most unforgettable Rhino experience wow! Their knowledge, passion, and care for these magnificent animals made it truly magical. Getting up close and learning about the rhinos was something we’ll never forget. Halls Gap Zoo is a credit to everyone who works there. It’s not just a zoo, it’s an experience full of heart, beauty, and incredible people. Highly recommend to everyone! 🦏✨monique and Nathan

A real surprise. Was not expecting a zoo this incredible in this location. Great layout, and plenty of free range animals to get close to. The deer were hilarious and friendly. Get a few feed bags for the walk through the zoo. Also has a great playground inside.
Ben C — Google review
A great little zoo with a relaxed vibe and plenty to see. Grabbed a food bag each at the entrance and had a blast feeding the friendly deer; it definitely added to the experience. The meerkats were hilarious, constantly popping up and checking us out like tine security guards. Paths are easy to follow which helped when a deer ate my map! We saw a good mix of native and exotic animals and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Halls Gap Zoo is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Grampians area.
Dennis — Google review
Fantastic Zoo! We spent a solid 2–3 hours exploring the winding paths, each lined with enclosures featuring a great mix of wildlife—local favourites and international species, from tiny marsupials, monkeys🐒 or reptiles to towering Giraffe's 🦒 The entry fee might feel a bit high at first, but once you see the scale and care involved (rhinos and giraffes aren’t exactly cheap), it’s easy to understand why. Friendly deer and peacocks roam freely and are happy to be hand-fed with feed bags available for purchase. It’s a well-kept, thoughtfully laid-out zoo that makes for a great half-day outing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Liam C — Google review
I didn’t plan on visiting the zoo whilst visiting the Grampians/Halls Gap, however I couldn’t help myself after reading the reviews. It is absolutely amazing there! The animals appear to be well looked after and loved, they all have more than suitable enclosures and then you’ve got the free roaming animals which makes it feel so different to most zoos. I would definitely make another trip here just to go to this zoo, hopefully next time I plan ahead and can try out the animal experiences. Not as many animals as mainstream zoos, however the circuit walk, being able to hand feed and get up close & personal with the roaming animals, and the fact that the animals in enclosures there seem genuinely happy makes up for that factor. Be mindful of the deer ambushing you for the feed though! 😂

Pub
Bistro
Brunch restaurant
The Halls Gap Hotel Restaurant is the go-to spot for dine-in options in Halls Gap, with limited alternatives due to staff shortages. Despite a wait time of 40 minutes for food, it's understandable considering the circumstances. The establishment boasts a spacious outdoor dining area offering stunning views of the mountains and frequent kangaroo sightings, creating an enjoyable atmosphere even for those seeking a casual drink and snack like chips. While the menu may not feature elaborate or exceptional dishes, they serve satisfying pub food.
Visited this place for the second time yesterday on my day trip to the Grampians. Great ambiance, Amazing customer service and Delicious food. We were able to secure the table near the windows and the view was really great. Enjoyed our food watching the Kangaroos having their meal in the garden. We will definitely visit this place again soon. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to have some traditional food with amazing natural views and great customer service, in the Grampians Region. Keep up the great work Team 😍👍

Went here for dinner with my family .I ordered the scotch fillet with chips and veg and peppercorn sauce. The steak was really nice and cooked well, the vegetables were delicious, the sauce was a little too creamy for my liking and overall was a fantastic meal. My dad ordered the lamb shanks and they looked fantastic. We’ve been here a few times and it’s always quality food and I definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. There is also a playground and big lawn area with outdoor seating which is nice. However, $16 for a jug of lemon squash was a bit extreme!

We visited Halls Gap Hotel during the AFL Grand Final long weekend and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was perfect for families with kids, thanks to the indoor and outdoor playgrounds that kept the little ones entertained. The food came out quickly, and both the quality of the food and the service were excellent. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Whilst staying at the nearby NRMA Caravan Park, we cycled to this pub for lunch on 2 occasions. Both times we were very happy with the service, the food and the beautiful views. For a quintessential Ozzie experience, with paddocks full of kangaroos and emus. Highly recommend!

We visited the hotel last Saturday, Grand Final Day. Wasn't super busy in the dining area, so lucky enough to get a table without a booking. Eaten there before and usually the food is pretty good. Very disappointed with this visit. Went to the bar to order a coffee (first one for the day). Proceeded to tell me you weren't making coffees as it was too busy. You got to be joking right. Enough time to stuff around with cocktails however you can't make a coffee. Not to mention you charge 10% extra for weekends and you can't get extra staff then to serve? Although you didn't need it as while we sat there having a very ordinary lunch. The bar wasn't even busy. Then you have the nerve to charge $14 for a garlic pizza which looks like it should have been on the kids menu. With plenty of better options in Halls Gap, we won't be back

Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park

Holiday park
RV park
Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park is a laid-back resort with an outdoor pool, trampolines, and a cozy guest lounge featuring a fireplace. The park offers an amazing playground, kangaroo valley, heated pools, and various school holiday activities. The grounds are well-maintained with modern amenities including clean toilet and shower blocks with thoughtful touches like music. Additionally, there's a well-equipped camp kitchen, indoor/outdoor dining facilities, and two pools.
We travelled for 4 months around Australia and this was our favourite caravan park. Although it was fully booked/ it didn’t seem over crowded-we didn’t have to wait to use any of the public amenities- pool, showers, outdoor cooking. Set under a boulder embarkment, surrounded by Kangaroos- it still had a bush feeling. Wonderful friendly hosts, barista coffee- perfect for kids and adults.

We had a great stay in our caravan over the school holidays. Facilities were clean, staff were friendly and helpful. We loved being able to get our coffee in the morning onsite. There is a large open space for the kids to play with kangaroos and emus close by. The heated pool and trampolines were a hit for the kids and they also really liked the school holiday scavenger hunt and colouring competition.

This park is easily one of the best we’ve ever stayed at—and we’ve been camping for over 20 years! Set in a stunning natural landscape nestled between mountains and surrounded by Australian wildlife, it offers a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and thoughtful design. You can tell a lot of care has gone into every detail. It’s a true family-owned park, with a welcoming office and kiosk stocked with everything you might need, plus local products and wines. Fresh coffee and hot chocolate in the mornings are the perfect start to the day, and on hot afternoons, the ice cream cart is a great touch. The facilities are outstanding—two wood-fired heated pools, a fantastic recreation room, and a super cool beer garden. The camp kitchen is spacious, well-equipped, and easy to use. And we’ve never seen bathrooms quite like these before—the enclosed glass-door showers are a standout! We stayed on a powered tent site and were amazed by how generous the sites were. Each even had a rake provided to clear away debris—a small but impressive detail that shows how much thought has gone into everything here. The staff and owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be coming back!

We camped at Halls Gap Lakeside Park. It was fantastic. We were greeted warmly on check in. The heated pool, heated bathroom, heated camp kitchen made the cold nights and mornings more bearable.

We have been in caravan Parks in many places in Australia and we think this may well be the best we have stayed at. The surrounds and wildlife are fantastic and the facilities clean, modern and so impressive. Caravan sites are a good size and there is a good culture in the park that is encouraged by signage and the staff - who were excellent. Lots to do and see close by, a brilliant heated swimming pool and barista coffee available from early morning in the front office. We loved it here and would recommend it to anyone. We are looking forward to coming back again next year to enjoy it all over again.

Nestled in the scenic Grampians, Brambuk the National Park & Cultural Centre is a hub for exploring Aboriginal culture and the natural beauty of the area. Established in 1989, it offers interactive exhibitions, theater performances, and cultural workshops to showcase the indigenous history of the region. Visitors can also enjoy a bush foods cafe while learning about the traditional custodians of the land, including the Jadawadjali and Djab Wurrung peoples.
Amazing place to explore the rich Aboriginal heritage of the region. The exhibits are engaging, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. A must-visit for anyone in Halls Gap—an experience that truly enriches your understanding of the local culture!

I remember when this was being built and although it still looks good, some of the displays are getting tired, although the information is still good. Located just outside of Halls Gap you can walk or ride along well made paths. Inside is a small cafe where you can dine on fresh food and refreshments. Outside are some excellent interpretation boards that give a history of the area and the life prior to white settlement. The retail shop is extensive with lots of interesting items. There is plenty of parking under the shaded gums. The place is wheelchair friendly and in fact you can motor on your wheelchair from town to the centre. Very kid friendly with lots for the little ones to do. I would say you could spend at s minimum and hour here. There are tours available as well. Enjoy.

Reeds Lookout, just a short drive away, provides easy access to breathtaking views with wheelchair-accessible paths.

Speechless. Incredible lookout! It's a quick stroll to the lookout, you can see the lookout from the carpark! suitable for everyone of all abilities. If you want to go for a longer walk there are some more challenging trails surrounding the platform that allow you to take in the views. It's very high up so it's very cold, bring a jacket and some warm pants! Unless it's summer of course. I could stay up there for hours just taking in the view, a must see of the Grampians!
Karen — Google review
On that rainy day, the viewing platform I had been so looking forward to visiting seemed draped in a delicate veil. Thick mist concealed the distant mountains and the horizon, turning what should have been a wide, open view into something hazy and unreal. In that moment, a touch of disappointment welled up in me, as though I had missed the chance to see the most beautiful painting. Yet, as the light rain tapped gently against the railing and the fog drifted slowly with the wind, a different kind of charm emerged—the world felt quiet and mysterious, like stepping into an unfinished ink painting. Although I wasn’t able to witness the vast and magnificent scenery I had hoped for, I could still sense the allure of nature. And perhaps it was this very incompleteness that became a new source of anticipation. In my heart, I made a quiet promise: next time, on a clear and sunny day, I will return to let this unfinished landscape find its perfect ending in my memory.

Guys, don’t miss this place! We actually planned to come for the sunrise but couldn’t make it, and still — it was absolutely beautiful. You can visit anytime of the day and it’s worth it. I’d say this is one of the best lookout points in the Grampians. It’s super easy to access, just a short two to three minute walk from the parking area, and there’s plenty of parking too. It’s also accessible for people with disabilities, which is great. Definitely one of the places I’d highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning views from this lookout across the valley! Short drive from Halls Gap through windy roads, signs will lead the way. Less than a minute walk from the car park with no steps/stairs, accessible for everyone. There’s a viewing point on the left where you look over the cliff rocks towards the dam and another lookout to the right where you can directly see the dam. There’s drop toilets by the car park too.

Sen Restaurant is a recommended dining option attached to the Country Plaza Halls Gap. It offers delicious Vietnamese cuisine with reasonable prices and well-maintained surroundings.

Overall, Sen Restaurant provides a satisfying dining experience for guests of the hotel and nearby visitors, with its tasty food and attentive staff.

During a visit to the Grampians for a weekend away, my partner & I figured we would check out the local Vietnamese restaurant. The Vietnamese dish "pho" is our favourite go-to for eating out, so as you can imagine were very excited to discover there was one so close by. As far as pho goes, the cost was on the high side, which we definitely don't mind if it's delicious pho... The issue was that it wasn't delicious and the portion was the smallest we've ever recieved. Now in my opinion what makes a great pho is fresh ingredients which didn't seem to be the case... The beef that tasted as though it was old and had been defrosted, the chilli oil was bone dry, all the usual side condiments (bean shoots, basil and lemon) was added during the cooking or missing, the noodles were ALL broken and clumped which neither of us had seen before. Lastly the flavor of the broth ranked quite low if not the lowest from personal experience. For regular pho goers, I'd suggest going a different dish or trying something new from the menu. On a positive note, staff were nice and the spring rolls were delicious!!

Went there for lunch. There is no atmosphere. No calm music or anything. Just the sound of other patrons and the cooks talking in the kitchen. The use of tissues for napkins is a ghastly concept. The menu is a mess. I presumed the Chef's specials would be a main, not an entrée. I ended up with two entrées instead of an entrée and a main. My partner ordered the pork belly but they were out so she had to compromise with stir fried pork. The pork was dry. The chicken and corn soup, and the Vietnamese pizza were good but the rest we could have done without. Overall it was a disappointing experience.

We ordered the lemon chicken, bean with mongolian sauce and fried rice. The lemon chicken was delicious but a bit disappointed with the fried rice and found it a little too bland. Ordered the beef with mongolian sauce but had to change my order when they informed me at pick up that they ran out of the sauce. Settled with the black bean sauce and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had dinner here. Really nice environment. Fresh food. The parma will be upgraded from new year onwards to a chicken breast this is processed so lacks a bit but should be a LOT better. The barramundi was delicious and well cooked. Great for family event or just a date night. Good pub food for all seasons. The kookaburras will come down and visit you outside.

I'm wondering how it's possible this place has good reviews (well, any reviews actually) within the last 6 months as it's been mostly closed. It had some guests stay during Grape Escape weekend and they reported horrifying conditions and jacked up prices. This venue is a blight on our community and is in dire need of new management.

**How to Tank a Once-Thriving Business in a Tourist Town (In Just a Few Easy Steps!)** Step 1: Keep taking online bookings even though the place appears abandoned. Step 2: Make sure there are *zero* staff —mystery builds character. Step 3: Let the front garden go full jungle mode. Bonus points if guests need a machete to find the front door. Step 4: Don’t bother with electricity. Who needs lights anyway? Step 5: Remove the strike plate from the door so it doesn’t lock. Add a subtle sense of danger—very edgy. Step 6: Don’t even *think* about the bedding. If you look too closely, you might see the ghost of better days. We took one look and left. The only thing this place is good for now is filming a low-budget horror movie.

The food was awesome. Had ordered the chicken Parma, lamb shanks and grilled barramundi. The shanks and barramundi were simply awesome and would think it to be their signature dishes. The restaurant manager was so friendly and a pleasure to chat with! And it was lovely to meet the chef, a truly kind and hardworking person! Would definitely love to visit again.

Beautiful place to sit and have a beer after a long hike, in the middle of town and food is pretty good as well. Staff are top tier definitely worth walking in if you’re in the area! Beautiful seats in the sun or inside depending on weather. Highly recommend - Charlie and Chelsie are legends

Day 3

Northwest side of town
For day 3, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with Pinnacle Lookout, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Halls Gap Visitor Information Centre. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Pinnacle Lookout

Vista point
Pinnacle Lookout, located in Halls Gap VIC 3381, Australia, is a must-visit spot in the Grampians. The viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the valley, mountain range, and lake. It's accessible via Northern Grampians Road and is open 24 hours daily. The hike to the lookout is described as breathtaking and mesmerizing, with rocky terrain that can be slippery at times.
I spent the day in the Grampians and it was by far such a great day trip and was so memorable with myself and my friend ! The pinnacle lookout is something you should definitely do however I would recommend hiking shoes and a hiking pole which I’m quite happy I was well prepared and equipped for the hike ⛰️🥾The simplicity in nature is so striking- The 4 hours spent hiking was definitely a challenge in itself but was so rewarding . Please be mindful that the hike becomes extremely difficult as you’re getting closer to the top as there is unsteady rocks where you have to get on all fours and legitimately crawl up on top and lift yourself up so if you don’t have great upper body strength or you’re not physically fit please bear this in mind . There are very many steep steps. There is no railing and there are metal and rock steps to take you up as well as flat surface ground but just be quite weary and cautious of your surroundings because it isn’t a wide pathway. It is quite thin so try to pack light and just bear this in mind as well . I would do this hike in a heartbeat. I absolutely loved it and it was a thrill of a time and the view is so breathtaking. I started the hike at 1:30 pm and I had finished the hike at 5:40 pm when I had reached the bottom and was welcome to by all the kangaroos in the Halls gap caravan park . The hike is a four hour duration so just try to make it down before sundown because it would be quite hard to make it down once it’s dark as you need visibility and sunlight ⛰️🌄I definitely felt like I was like on top of the world after hiking the 15,781 steps reach the top🥾⛰️

I’m so glad we made the effort to complete the hike to Pinnacle Lookout while visiting the Grampians. The trail itself offered a great mix, there were stretches that felt quite easy and enjoyable, but also several moderate sections that gave us a real challenge. It was a good balance of effort and reward, and by the time we reached the top, the sense of achievement was something special. The lookout is absolutely stunning. From the Pinnacle you are treated to sweeping views across Halls Gap, the valley below, and the surrounding mountain ranges. On the day we went the weather was perfect, bright blue skies and clear visibility that allowed us to see as far as the eye could reach. The scenery was breathtaking, and it instantly became one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our hike up and back was around 10km, starting from the main car park in Halls Gap and looping back again. It took a few hours at a steady pace, but every step was worth it. Along the way, the changing terrain, rocky outcrops, and dramatic cliffs kept things interesting. Silent Street was another highlight, but the Pinnacle itself was the ultimate reward. We also helped one another through some of the steeper sections, which made it a great team experience. If you are in Halls Gap, this is without doubt a must-do activity. The views alone will stay with you long after your visit.

The Hiking trip to the Pinnacle Lookout was really a great experience for us. We took the medium to high terrain which is from the Wonderland Carpark going via Grand Canyon, Cool Chamber, Bridal Veil Falls, and Silent Street. It was told the time to get there was around 40 minutes to an hour but since we stopped on many locations to enjoy the views of the beautiful Grampians ranges, we took nearly two hours to get to the top, and the trip was really worth. Weather to go is very important as it will definitely affect the hiking ability of the individual. You also need to carry some snacks and drinking water to refresh yourself on the way. It is one of the best hikes in Victoria for most abilities. There are some other easier options for people who find this a bit challenging. I highly recommend this Pinnacle Lookout to anyone who is looking for your next adventure, not far too far from Melbourne.

Absolutely the best walk with scenery I've done. I was lucky enough to be dropped at Sundial carpark and walked through to Wonderland carpark. The walk from Sundial to Pinnacle is the easier walk and lest steep with the so I recommend travelling that way if you want to see everything. Took this 130kg guy 2 1/2 hrs to walk through with plenty of stops for photos and to rest and take in the scenery. A very challenging walk with plenty of high steps,rocks and embankments and can be quite slippery in places with water and sand on sections.

We went to the Pinnacle Lookout on a beautiful day, and the weather was just perfect for the walk. The views from the top are absolutely stunning and totally worth the effort. But here’s my suggestion — go early in the morning or later in the evening. We went during the day, and it got really hot, especially on the way up. The trail is a bit tiring, so bring some water and wear good shoes. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot if you’re in the Grampians — beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, and a great sense of achievement once you reach the top.

One of the best walks I think we have done. The walk from Wonderland car park is about 2.1km up to Pinnacle lookout through the Grand Canyon. Well worth the walk. Took about 1 hr each way taking it easy.
Dan — Google review
Moderate hike, really fun but might not be for everyone. Choose sundial for convenience and for an easier route (it is the one we picked), if you are looking for a scenic route, opt for the wonderland route. Some parts are difficult, such as the start, when climbing steeps rocks, which can be really hard to maneuvre through. Be careful at the end aswell, as there are crevaces in the rock which can be hard to ser. View at the end is amazing. Allow for 3 hours, as you will want to spend time at the top and take pictures on the way. Be caureful of where you step as some rocks can be sliperry. View at the end is beautiful though!

The hike to The Pinnacle Lookout in the Grampians tested us, but every step was worth it. It was a hot day, and the sun pressed down hard as we climbed through dry bushland, where the rustle of small creatures and the chatter of birds kept us company. Trail signage was intermittent; some junctions were well-marked, others left us second-guessing. The final ascent was steep and rocky, but reaching the lookout felt like stepping into a painting: clear blue sky, layered ranges fading into the horizon, and wind sweeping across the cliff face. Standing there, arms raised, the silence was profound. A moment of pure exhilaration.

The Views Restaurant in Halls Gap offers a dining experience with breathtaking panoramic views of the Grampians. Whether you're enjoying a hearty breakfast or an elegant dinner, the restaurant provides a range of delicious cuisine options to satisfy every palate. While the big breakfast may not be as large as expected, it comes with a continental buffet, offering value for money. The restaurant's intimate location and helpful staff contribute to a lovely dining experience, despite potential delays due to limited kitchen staff.
We went as a classic car club with over 40 people and this is a motel punching above its weight. The meals were delicious and prompt. The service and hospitality was fantastic. It is an old motel that is clean with magnificent views and management and staff cannot do enough for you. Terrific.

We just had a wonderful dinner here with my boyfriend. When we arrived, the kitchen had already closed due to no bookings or walk-ins on a Saturday night — which is such a shame because both the food and service are absolutely amazing. Michael (who I believe is the manager) kindly asked the kitchen if they could still serve us, and thankfully they agreed. Honestly, we had read some mixed reviews beforehand and didn’t have high expectations ( that's why we didn't take any photos) — we were simply looking for the closest place to grab a meal, as we were staying nearby for two nights. But we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Vegetarian Pizza ($19.50) and the Creamy Prawn Fettuccine ($26), and both dishes were fantastic. The pizza was generously topped and, instead of a traditional tomato base, it used sweet chilli sauce, which surprisingly worked really well and added a delicious twist. The pasta was exactly what I was craving on a cold night — rich, creamy, flavourful and packed with fresh, huge prawns. The portions were very generous and definitely great value for money. The menu isn’t huge, but it has all the essentials: pasta, rice dishes, stir-fry noodles, schnitzels, pizzas, and more. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable. It’s really unfortunate that they don’t have more guests, especially considering the motel was fully booked. But if you’re looking for somewhere cozy with hearty, comforting food and excellent service, I would absolutely recommend this place!

Really lovely meals, affordable prices, super helpful staff, great ambience and intimate location. The service can be a little slow, but that is due to there being only 1 person in the kitchen. The chef is lovely, so wonderfully helpful. I am vegan and she went out of her way to assist me and create meals off menu so that I had something to eat. The dinners are really good. The breakfast is a little meager - tasty, but you do not get much for your money (breakfast only, can not complain about the dinners at all). Would definitely go back here for dinner!

Ordered the big breakfast. It wasn't big but it was nice... Very ordinary food presented well: one rasher bacon, one sausage, hash brown, beans, two eggs on a grilled piece of bread. The breakfast does come with the continental buffet- cereals, toast, fruit salad, yoghurt, juice,tea and coffee so the value is there. The restaurant does have great views of the mountains and wildlife. Not as fancy as it might be trying to be but a good place attached to the hotel.

We came here because nothing else appeared to be open in Halls Gap. A few kms out from town on the right, a long driveway leads you to the motel / restaurant. Watch out for the kangaroos as they are plentiful at dusk. So are the sulphur created cockatoos that perch on the buildings and in the trees with their iconic ‘squack’. The restaurant is a good size and had about 4 tables either guests. Between the four of us we ordered the lamb rack, the pork belly, the steak and a chicken parma. Not cheap, starting at $28 for the parma but the food was very good, the portion sizes generous and the food was prepared relatively quickly. Wine and beer list quite comprehensive. Wouldn’t have the house white - found it somewhat bland. Staff were good and very helpful and generous. Happy for us to split the bill. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking out the front. I’d certainly return again so explore more of the menu.

The Town Fryer is a popular spot in Halls Gap known for its consistently delicious fish and chips. Recently under new management, the menu has been updated, but the quality remains top-notch. Visitors rave about the fresh and crispy flathead fish and generous portions of chips. The friendly staff and reasonable prices make it a great dining option in the area.

This cafe is located in the heart of Halls Gap and has a huge variety of food options (including healthy ones) and nice atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and the service is very quick.

Stop by here before we are visiting to Mackenzie fall. Our intentions is to trying the local fish & chip. We have ordered 1 BBQ chicken pizza and 1 set of fish & chip. Personally, I don't find any special about both dishes but at least the fish is still soft after fried. We comparing with other restaurants, their serving is consider small. Nice to have a warm food when in winter.

Ordered Chicken Parma (a must-try) and fish and chips here. Absolutely loved the fish and chips! The fish was super fresh with the crispiest batter, and the chips were golden and tasty. Portions are big enough to fill you up, and the staff are so warm and welcoming. If you’re nearby, definitely treat yourself – you’ll be glad you did!

Very recently under new ownership, the owners and staff are absolutely lovely, and work very hard without letting it be seen they're under pressure. We dined two nights in a row over Melbourne cup weekend. Its a busy cafe style restaurant, especially with the weather being quite wet and cold. The wait times were longer than your typical fast food, but expected. Night one we had fish and chips. A little disappointing as it was oily, and the batter had cracked pepper in it (quite unusual). The serves are plentiful and it is all cooked fresh to order. Night two we ordered a pizza and a parma. Both absolutely delicious, not dry, not oily, and very tasty... again we couldnt finish our meals, the serves are big. We will definitely return on our next visit! Grab a seat by the window or even outside, you can watch the kangaroos hop through the park across the road for their evening snack of grass!

Stopped in later in the evening, as it was our only option when travelling. Nothing else was open at 8pm. The food was delicious. Pizza was good and the different types of fish and chips were tasty. The fries were also amazing. Crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside.

If I could give 6/10 I would. We got hot chocolates and a soy latte, accompanied by muffins after a cold rainy afternoon. Last night we tried a different pizza store and wish we went here instead, blergh to the service! Anyway, what lovely hospitality from the owners/staff at The Town Fryers. Not only with us but the entire venue and all their customers. My little one decided after begging for a hot chocolate that she didn’t want one anymore, it was no problem for them to give it to her takeaway and added extra marshmallows. Would choose to go back here any day simply to support these lovely people.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon in Halls Gap offers a picturesque and rocky gorge experience within the Grampians National Park. The hour and a half walking tour starts at the Visitor Centre and ends at the historical society, where visitors can explore photography and articles. This place holds sentimental value for many, evoking feelings of awe and wonder amidst the towering rock formations. Walking alongside a river from Wonderland Car Park to the stairs provides stunning views, with an added waterfall attraction.
The Grand Canyon is an amazing spot to stop by while hiking to the Pinnacle Lookout. The views are absolutely picturesque, with incredible rock formations that are a true wonder to see up close. It’s a must-visit if you’re exploring the area, especially if you enjoy hiking and natural beauty. This place is an unforgettable part of the Grampians experience!

We had great experiences in the Grand Canyon area. Beautiful geographic. Walking course level is beginner to medium level. If you go there during the summer, bring enough water to keep hydrate. I saw some visitors with sandles but I strongly recommend to wear good grip shoes. Car park is quite limited better to start in early morning. Highly recommend this walking truck. It take around 2 hours to return from wonderland car park to pinnacles.

The Grampians National Park was surprisingly gorgeous! If you are not into hiking, Grand Canyon is a great option as it is just 5 minutes from the Wonderland car park. Walking up the Grand Canyon is 10 minutes to the top so it is a quick stop, but very worth it. The views are gorgeous!

The scenery is absolutely stunning, but it is not suitable for the elderly or young children, as it can be somewhat dangerous ⚠️. The canyon is awe-inspiring in its grandeur and majesty. Its steep cliffs display layers of color under the sunlight, like a massive painting carved by nature over millions of years. The canyon is deep and mysterious, with a stream winding through it, its waters echoing against the cliffs like nature’s whisper. Standing within it, looking up at the towering walls that reach the sky and down into the winding, profound depths below, one’s soul is deeply moved by the canyon’s power and magnificence, experiencing the unparalleled artistry and pure beauty of nature.

The Grand Canyon walk in the Grampians is a short but striking adventure. From the nearby Wonderland car park, stone stairs lead into a narrow gorge where water trickles and birds echo between towering sandstone walls. Steel stairs help with the steeper parts. The layered rock formations catch shifting light beautifully, and the cool hush of the canyon contrasts with the open bushland above. Wear sturdy shoes though, some steps are steep and uneven, but the sensory experience is worth it.

Quick but a steep walk. 100 metres from the wonderland car park. Low to moderate level effort with many boulders. At some points it's tricky to find the path, but you get there. Lots of boulder hopping in the canyon. Loved it.

This captivating image unveils a hidden gem, a secluded ravine embraced by towering rock formations. The sheer, rugged cliffs, etched with time and weather, rise majestically, their layered textures and earthy hues creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The ravine, a narrow passage carved through the heart of the mountains, beckons with its promise of adventure and discovery. The sunlight, filtering through the rocky walls, casts a soft, ethereal glow upon the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the rock's surface. A touch of verdant life clings to the rocks, adding a splash of vibrant green to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. These hardy plants, defying the harsh environment, symbolize nature's resilience and its ability to thrive even in the most challenging conditions. This is a place where time stands still, where the echoes of the past resonate through the ancient rocks. It's a sanctuary for those seeking solitude and a connection with the raw, untamed beauty of nature.

The Halls Gap Visitor Information Centre is the perfect starting point for anyone spending time in the Grampians. Conveniently located right on the main street in Halls Gap, the centre provides a wealth of resources that make planning your trip easy. Inside you’ll find shelves full of brochures, maps, and guides covering everything from walking trails and waterfalls to local restaurants, cafés, wineries, and accommodation. There are also displays highlighting the natural and cultural heritage of the region, which add some great context before heading out to explore. What stood out most for us was the staff, knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to share tips on the best lookouts, family-friendly activities, or hidden gems you might otherwise miss. They answered our questions thoroughly and even suggested a few lesser-known hikes that turned out to be highlights of our trip. The visitor centre itself is modern, clean, and well laid out, with clear maps of the surrounding area and up-to-date event listings. If you’re planning to spend a few days (or longer) in the Grampians, I’d highly recommend stopping in here first. It’s the best way to make sure you’ve ticked off all the key points of interest and are fully prepared to enjoy everything this stunning region has to offer.

He shared various maps for lookouts and hiking trails, and brochures of activities that we can do around Grampians from the Adevture Mini Golf game for families to various cafes and restaurants, and local farm products.

Good place to start the day, clean bathrooms, a tap to fill water bottles and information on the area. The only negative is that there is little freely available information on which walks you can do, the starting point for the walks and the distance of each. You can buy a map eith this information for $3.5,or take a look at the large map on on the wall which lists the names of the walks then google the rest of the information. Reading through Google reviews tells you about all there is to learn from the $3.5 brochure.

Stone Grill was amazing. Very unique. Enjoyed cooking myself - got the mixed grill and added 3 Prawns. Was able to take the meat off when "medium" and place the veggies / potato to give them an extra boost. The 'generous' glass of Shiraz was appreciated. Although not a dessert person, I tried the Cold Rock and sorbet... Was a light / delicate way to finish my evening (and my taste buds appreciated it). Definately recommend and well done to the restaurant owners for choosing the Hot / Cold rock to differentiate from surrounding restaurants.

$38 and you have to cook the steak YOURSELF, "we won't cook it for you". This stonedine or hot rock cooking at the table belongs in the 80's. The lamb cutlets, they came a little over done and dry, the taste made up my the spicy dressing. Slightly awkward end to the evening, at 9pm we are the only people in the restaurant. The two staff stared us down until we left, I'm not sure they like people.

Awesome food in the gap. Friendly staff and service. Can't go wrong. The BBQ ribs really had a delicious Smokey flavour that I haven't come across before which was especially delicious. The brisket was peppery and tender. Service was very very quick, and being able to have a meal like that while watching kangaroos bounding around and scavenging right outside isn't something you get to experience very often. A must visit at the gap !

An excellent spot for breakfast! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect place to start the day. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I was especially impressed with the Eggs Benedict — perfectly poached eggs, a smooth and balanced hollandaise sauce, and fresh ingredients that made every bite delicious. The presentation was also lovely, showing real attention to detail. Overall, it’s a place I would happily return to and recommend to anyone looking for a quality breakfast experience.

Had an amazing dinner. pork ribs, chicken wings and loaded fries - delicious!! Ate them so quickly we only had time to take a photo of the loaded fries lol 😂 Staff were so busy but Tim gave us exceptional service, funny guy! Loved the wild life with kookaburras (watch your food outside, they are cheeky 😂) and kangaroos with the mountains in the background. Would highly recommend!

Had a great meal tonight. Came out quick. Flavours were awesome. Reminded us of our US experiences. Colliflower was spicy but yum. Had the pork and brisket followed by nice sticky date. Staff were friendly. Was busy for winter but 2 staff very professionally and friendly. Would recommend u eat here. Pomonal estate Shiraz was great.

We had dinner here, the brisket burger was amazing and the chicken tenders were great as well. We also had coffee a few times during our stay in Halls Gap which was really good. The service was very good each time we were there and staff were friendly and attentive. The "igloos" were a fun addition and a good option for outdoor dining to take in the beautiful scenery.

We accidentally made a detour to this place on our drive back from Adelaide to Melbourne, and let me say… we will happily do it again! Delightful staff, quick service and delicious food- not to mention the stunning view!!

Didn't check review and walked in. Ordered platter for 2. sauage not available but they didn't inform us and still put order through. Chicken wings is the worst i ever had in my life. I never imagined it can be that bad.
WEN D — Google review
Both the pork and brisket were dry, with the brisket overseasoned. Best part of the meal was the chips - crispy and nice seasoning. Two meats + one fries and two wines will set you back $90. Just an FYI the old menu photos indicate you get slaw or fries with the meat, but that is no longer the case - fries will set you back an additional $10.

From rum raisin, white chocolate raspberry, and mango to refreshing sorbets like blood orange, there is no wrong choice here.

Nestled in the heart of town, this charming ice creamery serves up a fantastic variety of flavours, making it an absolute must-visit for anyone with a love for creamy, indulgent ice cream. The flavours are both unique and delicious, with something for every taste. We particularly loved the Vienna Coffee and Choc Orange—the coffee flavour is rich and smooth, while the choc orange offers a perfect balance of sweetness with a zesty twist. There are plenty of classic options, but it’s the more adventurous combinations that really make Coolas stand out. The ice cream itself is creamy and rich, with generous portions that will leave you fully satisfied.

This was honestly the best ice cream spot! We came here right after a hot day and a long walk in the Grampians, and it was exactly what we needed. Me and my friend tried different flavours — I had vanilla and Boysenberry, and the Boysenberry was amazing. My friend went for chocolate chip cookie dough and macadamia, and he loved both. The ice cream was so creamy and delicious. You can literally see the long queues outside — that says it all. Definitely the best place for ice cream around here!

D'Altons Studios

4.6
(205)
Self-catering accommodation
Cottage
D'Altons Studios is a serene and unpretentious accommodation nestled in a relaxed resort, providing picturesque mountain vistas, a charming garden, and inviting BBQ areas. The well-maintained garden, carefully crafted by the owners, serves as a magnet for local wildlife, creating an idyllic setting with birdsong and kangaroo sightings. The soothing sound of water further enhances the tranquil ambiance. Guests appreciate the thoughtful amenities and cozy cabins that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings.
The cabins here are first-class. Spotlessly clean with all mod-cons including a huge smart TV and heated blankets. The grounds are lovely and peaceful and are home to friendly kangaroos and beautiful birds. I received a really warm welcome from Nara (?) and was given lots of helpful information on exploring the national park. Many thanks for a fantastic stay!
Scott S — Google review
A perfect stay in the heart of the Grampians. Premium cabins and ours with a double spa bath was just bliss 😍. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and warm, surrounded by abundant wildlife. This is the best place to stay in Hallsgap 💚 This is not a luxury hotel, so of course guests should tidy up before they leave, I don't understand entitled people leaving comments about the dishes, yes do them, it's called good manners 😂. You're in the middle of a national park, enjoy and be grateful 🙏☺️.
Jacob F — Google review
Had a fabulous one week’s stay here. Accomodation was clean and comfortable and very close to town and some day walks. But the highlight was definitely the natural surrounds. The cabins are frequented by lots of native wildlife which often feels like being on an Australian safari. Some of the Sulfur crested cookatoos are particularly cheeky and will sit at your door while you go about your business indoors. Would definitely stay again.
Nick E — Google review
Lets start with the positive. The rooms are very nicely presented, and well located around a garden area that attracts all the local wildlife. Comfortable and spacious with all the usual amenities. Now onto service. We booked and paid for one night, but when we arrived we told the receptionist we would most likely stay two nights, and would confirm in the morning, because it looked so nice. The next morning there was no one at reception, on two occasions. We tried to phone the number given, but no reply. We left all our belongings in the room, locked the door and went out for the day. Imagine our horror when we returned to find that the room had been stripped, and our personal belongings moved. They had our name and phone number, so why were we not contacted. We are absolutely fuming that the blithering idiot owner let out our room, removed our personal property, and made us find alternative accommodation. Fortunately for him, we could only speak to him on a phone. We have never had such rude, inconsiderate service in any country we have visited.

What an amazing place for the wildlife spotting. Right outside our door we had Kangaroos including a mother with Joey in its pouch, lots of Sulphur crested Cockatoo, Ducks and Kookaburra. The cabin was well equipped so we cooked our dinner we did have to put the heating on as this is the first time we have been cold in Oz. It was 13 degrees.

Nice cosy cottage, close to the town centre. Easy to check in despite arriving late (they were pretty flexible with it). Had personal parking lot. Open concept kitchen that was well stocked. Laundry room open 11-5pm. Cute wild life in the backyard garden xD Sigh would love to stay here again.

Mistakenly booked two days with this property on an incorrect date on a non-refundable basis. Having realised the error I contacted the property to request moving the booking to an alternative date or whether consideration would be given for provision of some form of credit for a new booking. The change date request was declined and the credit request was ignored. The property has received two days payment and are providing no service. This approach to an inadvertent error is disappointing and mean spirited. Recommend reading the review by Hans Taylor for further insight into this property's approach to customer service

Nestled between Mt Victory Road and Stony Creek, Halls Gap Botanical Gardens is a small community-run garden that offers a wealth of information about the native plants in The Grampians region. Despite being affected by natural disasters in the past, the gardens have been restored and now showcase a diverse range of flora, including native Australian wildflowers, exotic succulents, and ferns.
Small Garden. Easy track to walk around, with longer walks going from here. Some signs around. Well worth a visit.

Hiking Trails
Venus Baths, located just off Mount Victory Road in the Grampians, is a natural wonder featuring crystal-clear rock pools and small rapids fed by Stony Creek. The area's freshwater lake and rock pools with slides make it an ideal spot for cooling off during hot summer days or after a long hike on the surrounding trails. Surrounded by majestic hill ranges, Venus Baths offers a unique destination suitable for families, honeymooners, and backpackers.
Peaceful and stunning natural spot! Venus Baths was such a beautiful surprise. The short walk to get there was easy and scenic, with plenty of spots to stop and take in the views. The rock pools were crystal clear and so refreshing—perfect for a little dip on a warm day. Surrounded by gum trees and the sounds of nature, it felt like our own private oasis. Great spot to relax, take photos, or just sit and enjoy the moment. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the Grampians!

This is a picturesque 20 - 30 minute walk from the botanical gardens car park. Mainly flat but a range of surfaces so not wheelchair friendly or for those with mobility challenges. Low fitness level required. Worth the walk to the lovely Venus baths where you can cool your feet in the rock pools. Great for kids to frolick but there is an area where there is a drop off into a deep pool just off the rocks so be mindful.

What i liked: - very easy hike. Reasonably flat terrain, paved pathways. Suitable for small children and mopy teenagers. - plenty of side trails of varying lengths. - conveniently located in Halls Gap. What i didn't like: - way too easy a hike.

Holiday park
Campground
RV park
NRMA Halls Gap Holiday Park is a relaxed retreat offering a variety of accommodation options including casual studios, apartments, and cedar cabins with kitchens. Situated on the edge of town, it's ideal for families seeking a great holiday experience. The park boasts lovely scenery with abundant wildlife and friendly staff who provide excellent support. Guests can enjoy amenities such as a pool and appreciate the convenient communication through text messages for easy check-in and check-out processes.
We stayed in a spa cabin for 2 nights and was impressed at how beautifully clean and maintained everything was. On arrival we were greeted warmly at reception and advised which cafes had the best coffee. What struck me first was how peaceful and quiet it was. The cabin itself was comfy and had all the necessities, great heating, excellent water pressure in the shower and overall a very aesthetic space with an excellent view. Everyone was super friendly, including the wildlife, and we enjoyed our time immensely. Next time we will plan a longer stay, 2 nights was definitely not long enough.

Incredible park with lovely staff and lots of cool wildlife around! I’m not normally one to like parks with camper vans and RVs, but in this one you barely notice because of how well spaced each site is. The shared bathrooms and kitchens are extremely well kept — it’s honestly a great deal for a powered site. The staff are also so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Kayla A — Google review
We stayed here for three nights but on the first night we had issues with our tent. The staff were fantastic and assisted us with booking into a cabin for the next two nights. I really liked the cedar cabin - nice size and the couch was super comfy. Kids loved the park activities and school holiday entertainment. They really enjoyed toasting marshmallows by the fire! It would be nice if the games room had free arcade games.

Unit 24. Dated by tidy enough place. The wifi wouldn’t connect on the television which was a shame. The location is good. Camp facilities were tidy enough and the kids enjoyed the pool and stuff. Have to make your own bed which is a bit of an odd one considering how much it cost to stay there. Overall, 3 stars which puts it at the average scale for us.
Ross S — Google review
We absolutely loved our stay here. There was more than enough for the kids to enjoy. They loved the jumping pillow, arcade, pump track with their bikes, hire bikes and roasting marshmallows over the fire that the owners of the park hosted. Us parents even got to relax in the sauna. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful and the accommodation was clean, cosy and warm. The heater and electric blankets were much needed! It was so conveniently located close to town centre and the reception also had plenty of food and drink if you needed to buy anything last minute. Highly recommend!

Five-Star Experience at a Beautifully Managed Caravan Park We had a wonderful 10 night stay in our caravan at this clean and tidy caravan park, set against the stunning backdrop of mountain views. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. What truly stood out, though, was the care and attention shown by the park managers. After some particularly bad weather, they went out of their way to check in on us and ensure we were comfortable and safe — a genuine gesture we truly appreciated. Their friendly and approachable nature, along with their extensive local knowledge, added so much to our stay. They gave us great recommendations for nearby points of interest that we otherwise may have missed. It’s clear they’re passionate about the area and fully focused on making sure every guest has the best possible experience. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more beautiful setting. Highly recommended! Thank you Pam and Shane

Such a great family friendly stay. Lots for kids to be entertained. Took my daughter to the disco in the hall she had so much fun. And they had a communal fire pit roasting marshmallows. Lots of wildlife. Room was probably due for a slight update but otherwise clean and roomy. We stayed in queen bed + 2 bunks room. Reception had everything you need if you’ve forgotten something or need a treat.

Camped here for two nights with our tent, and we had a wonderful experience. Definitely one of the top five holiday parks I've ever stayed at! The facilities are plentiful, modern, and absolutely spotless. There's an abundance of wildlife - roos, wallabies, birds of all kinds, and even deer - which speaks to the high standard of maintenance of the grounds. Additionally, the park managers were friendly and helpful, truly the kind of folks who were made for this job. Without a doubt, we will be back!

Nestled in the picturesque Grampians National Park, Grampians Adventure Golf offers an exciting 18-hole miniature golf experience set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens with waterfalls. The challenging course features water hazards, ramps, split-level holes, and local feature-themed obstacles. Visitors are pleasantly surprised by the well-maintained and fun course suitable for both adults and kids.
We had an absolutely incredible time at Grampians Adventure Golf! The course is beautifully designed — every hole felt thoughtful, fun, and just the right mix of challenge and creativity. It’s clear how much care and detail went into building it. Surrounded by lush gardens and natural bushland, it felt like we were playing through a little magical world. After finishing the 18 holes, we stopped by the “19th hole” — the café — and honestly, it was the perfect way to end the experience. The food was way beyond what you’d expect from a mini golf spot: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We just sat back, enjoyed our snacks, and soaked in the peaceful surroundings. This place is a gem — fun, well-kept, and with a great atmosphere. Whether you’re a family, a group of friends, or a couple looking for something a bit different, I can’t recommend it enough. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Stopped here for lunch and was not disappointed! A beautiful little garden area to sit in if the weather's fine. Best falafels I've ever had- made from scratch and weren't dry! Attention to detail in presentation of the food, and everything was fresh! The dressing balanced perfectly! Staff were quick to attend to customers. Can't review the mini golf as I didn't play but it looked like a lot of people were having fun!
Angelic W — Google review
This would definitely be a 5 star spot if the golf section was maintained and updated as it was quite old and tired and a little dangerous in some areas. Still good enough for something to do though! Probably the only good experience we had in the 3 days we spent in Halls Gap was at this sweet little cafe. I liked the option of choosing from ‘real food’ not just typical cafe/deep fried stuff. Jackfruit tacos were nice. $20 for 3. Kids meals come in these cute ceramic plates with holes for sauce and spiders are made with bottles of drink so you get to keep the whole drink - and it’s less than $7. I didn’t realise my pot of chai tea came with milk in it so I didn’t drink more than a sip and I was sick all night, ooopsss. Maybe you could add that part to the menu so silly people like me know it’s a milky drink. Gift shop is nice to look around, some really cool local artists on display and a few cheap imports with a markup - a bit expensive for what you get but that’s life hey! Service was really friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced especially for the quality of the product. Would go back again.

Incredibly yummy food! People are so lovely and it was so surprising a place to fine great food, food and nice gifts. We don’t have kids in tow on our April visit so wouldn’t be a place to stop but someone made a recommendation for the hot apple pie and coffee when we asked where was the place to go for a cuppa. We jumped on our escooters and took the trip up the bike and walk trail and enjoyed it so much we came back 2 more times during our week stay. Can’t wait to stop in on our next trip to Halls Gap. I hope our friendly little apple pie thief is still there to pose for more photos. When we had our caravan hooked up we went to the next road up and parked in a safe spot across from residences and walked back. The gift shop is awesome too!

Silent Street

4.9
(124)
Silent Street is a narrow gorge located on the trail from Wonderland Carpark to The Pinnacle in Victoria's Grampians National Park. It offers breathtaking views and is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Visitors are advised to wear appropriate clothing and footwear, depending on the season, as the area can be cold and rainy in winter and hot in summer. The trail is rocky and can be slippery, so caution is necessary. Yellow arrows painted on rocks provide direction along the way.
This image captures the breathtaking beauty of a narrow passage carved through towering rock formations. The perspective draws the eye down a pathway of stone steps, nestled between sheer cliffs that rise on either side. The rocks themselves are a tapestry of textures and hues. On the left, the stone appears rough and rugged, with a warm, golden tone illuminated by the sun's gentle touch. In contrast, the right side presents a cooler, more subdued palette, with the rock face displaying a smooth, almost metallic sheen. A metal railing, sleek and modern, provides a stark contrast to the ancient, weathered stone. It guides the viewer's gaze along the path, inviting them to imagine the journey through this natural corridor. The sky above is a serene, cloudless blue, offering a tranquil backdrop to the rugged beauty of the rocks. Hints of greenery peek out from the base of the cliffs, adding a touch of life to the otherwise stark landscape. This photograph masterfully captures the interplay of light and shadow, the contrast between the rough and the smooth, the ancient and the modern. It's a scene that evokes a sense of awe and wonder, inviting the viewer to contemplate the timeless beauty of nature.

Hiking through the Grand Canyon on a rainy day feels like the most direct conversation with nature. Fine raindrops fall from the sky, striking the cliffs and pathways, scattering into tiny splashes. Wrapped in mist and the symphony of water, the canyon takes on a majestic and mysterious presence. Each step on the slippery stone is careful, yet accompanied by the quickening of the heartbeat; the roaring of streams echoing from the depths of the canyon resounds like a soul-stirring symphony, filling one with both awe and wonder. The rain washes the colors of the cliffs clean, blending crimson and deep green into a vivid canvas, while the drifting clouds overhead add a touch of vitality and poetry. Walking within it all, one feels like a mere speck of dust between heaven and earth—small, yet full of reverence. The sense of awe comes not only from the grandeur of nature but also from a profound inner resonance: a dual awakening to both power and tranquility.
Leo L — Google review
Silent Street is one of the most memorable parts of hiking in the Grampians and a definite highlight on the way to the Pinnacle. Starting from the main street car park in Halls Gap, the trail takes you through bushland before gradually climbing into rocky terrain. Along the way you’ll encounter plenty of scenic spots, but Silent Street really stands out. It’s an incredible natural passage, a narrow walkway framed by towering rock walls that seem to close in around you as you make your way upward. The path is well-marked and has sections of stone steps to help you navigate through the tight formations. Walking through this striking corridor feels almost otherworldly, and the sense of scale when you look up at the rock faces is truly impressive. For us, it was the second highlight of the hike after reaching the Pinnacle lookout itself. The walk is rated moderate, and while there are some steep and uneven sections, anyone reasonably fit should have no trouble. Take your time, bring water, and enjoy the changing scenery along the way. If you’re visiting Halls Gap and planning to explore the Grampians, don’t miss this – Silent Street is both unique and unforgettable.

A hard hike, with very little trail. Wear good shoes with awesome traction. The walk is absolutely amazing. A myriad of stunning beauty points are jotted along the way. Silent street can be very slippery and is extremely narrow. Keep an eye out for the natural moss and mushroom formations, they look just like little fairy gardens.

A really steep hike, but can be done in runners/trainers. However, I’d guess if you go when it’s wet it could be slippery. Spectacular views through the rocks. Great view going up or down. This is the 0.7km track to the Pinnacle. steep but well worth it.

Mon C — Google review
Best part about the hike to the pinnacle. It's very different and pretty, but it can get quite busy here if there's a lot of people on the go at the same time. The exit/staircase at the end of silent street is very small and people with chunky baggage or a bigger body circumference will have issues fitting through.

A pleasant experience on the way to the Pinnacle Lookout. The narrow pathway is silent as it sounds, and it's one of the best routes to the top. The street is well signposted and there are hand rails on some of the trickier ascents of this part of the hike.

Working with Adrian and his team at Absolute Outdoors is truly a pleasure. Their local expertise ensures that guests have an unforgettable and personalized experience during their stay in the Grampians. For those seeking adventure, Absolute Outdoors offers activities such as abseiling, rock climbing, and kayaking at Lake Fyans. The company's professionalism and commitment to quality are commendable. Additionally, the Absolute Outdoors shop boasts an impressive variety of high-quality products from renowned brands.
We had a great morning with Absolute Outdoors for their abseiling adventure. My partner and I were the only ones booked for the morning session and we were both pretty confident with the abseiling so our guide, Fraser, offered to let us do some rock climibing as well. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Absolute Outdoors for any abseiling or rock climbing activities in the Grampians. Fraser was a great guide, very insightful, patient and wanted us to make the most of our activity. We're super grateful to him for helping us see the Grampians in a unique way.

Amazing Rock Adventure – Safe, Fun & Well-Guided! Our family of 6 had an incredible time on our Rock Adventure – climbing and abseiling – and couldn't have asked for a better guide than Tom! From start to finish, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and made sure that everyone felt safe and comfortable, even though most of us had no prior experience. Tom went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience for our group. He took extra care to check the safety of the abseiling area, especially since we had our one-year-old granddaughter with us. He even provided shelter for her, which was truly appreciated. His expertise with the equipment and ability to reassure us gave us the confidence to take on the challenge and enjoy every moment of the adventure. If you're looking for a rock-climbing and abseiling experience that is both thrilling and safe, we highly recommend this adventure – and especially Tom as a guide!

My son went abseiling & rock climbing for the first time on Monday. He was lucky enough to have a one on one session with the guide. It was an amazing experience for my son, he enjoyed every second of it and wants to do it again. The guide was fantastic- he was patient, friendly, explained things brilliantly and was comfortable to be around. He is good at what he does. The abseiling & rock climb is great for beginners. The location is out of this world with the most amazing rock at the top of the hill :) I would recommend this experience for people who are brave & want an adrenaline rush.

Hubby and I had great morning doing the Beginners Abseiling Adventure. I can't remember our guides name, but she was fantastic. I'm afraid of heights, and was so scared, but our guide kept me calm and talked me through the whole process and made me feel really safe. We had another family in our group, a dad with 2 young kids, and she was really good with the kids. I wasn't sure how I was going to go fitness wise, being 40, on the heavier side and unfit, but the climb to the top of the rock faces weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. We had so much fun. A thrilling experience to remember. I would highly recommend this to anybody that is visiting Halls Gap or even just thinking about trying abseiling. Give it a go, it is a must, we came all the way from South Australia just to do this and it was defiantly worth the experience. Thanks again to our guide for a great day. Crystal & Dean.

Kids have two much energy? Throw them (safely) in a canoe! Under the experienced guidance of Jan, my nine-year-old and I spent a couple of hours on the water at Lake Fyans on a picture-perfect day. The whole experience was great!

Miki took us to the watchtower. She really catered to our level of experience, Me - a beginner 50 year old and my 15 year old son, an advanced climbing gym junkie who had never been on a rock wall. we had a ball. felt safe the whole time.

Gelato Guys is an exciting and lively establishment located in the heart of picturesque Halls Gap. They specialize in serving delectable, homemade gelato that is sure to please anyone's taste buds. This hidden gem may be easily overlooked due to its inconspicuous signage, but it offers a wide range of options for vegans.

So good the service was amazing, Melbourne cup long weekend, people everywhere awesome weather for gelato, line was out the doors, but the staff continued on and where friendly with each and every customer.

ice cream here was super delicious! a must visit if you’re in Halls Gap or just passing by. the owner was really nice and gave us recommendations of which flavours paired well with each other. he offered us samples while we were still deliberating on what we wanted and was so so generous as well - letting us sample 6 or more flavours! the selection of dairy free ice cream was huge as well, perfect for lactose intolerant folks. PS the milk free chocolate ice cream is exceptionally good!!
Jeremy T — Google review
Went to the other icecream place and was a little disappointed. So decided to come here the next day. WOW, just amazing. Smooth and creamy with great flavor. Both the ice cream and gelato was fantastic. The owner really loves his craft and it shows in the product. Highly recommended.
Timothy M — Google review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely the best ice cream in Halls Gap! The Gelato Guys serve up the most delicious, real-tasting flavours that are full of quality and care. You can tell they use proper ingredients—nothing artificial here! The chocolate orange is my absolute favourite—so rich and nostalgic, it takes me straight back to the UK. The owner is so lovely and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable for the generous scoops you get. If you're visiting Halls Gap, this place is an absolute must. Don't leave without trying a scoop (or two)! 🍦🧡

A must to visit - sensational gelato! Some of the best I’ve eaten in a long time and incredibly reasonable prices! Service was exceptional. Don’t miss this hidden gem - we’ll be back!!
Karena J — Google review
Generous serving, quality ingredients, fantastic texture and sugar balance. It was a treat to find this place in our short stay. Pistachio and Hawaii were our favourites by far, with special mention to fruit based flavours. Highly recommend to try out the Hawaii flavour, which is an intense rendition of a coconut rough. I would absolutely come back after a big walk and avoiding the sun inside or under the shade on the footpath. Or no walk at all, and just get hit by a truck of flavour just because.

I've eaten gelato all over the world, including in Italy, and I consider this the best gelato I've ever had. Anton is also a delight. Super creamy and the dairy-free chocolate is surprisingly luxe. Don't miss it!
Tracey S — Google review
The queue at the other icecream place frightened us off, then just down the street was the Gelato Guys. We were more than happy that we did. Fresh and new the staff are keen to help and give you tasters. Over 30 flavours of Gelato, good old favourites as well as a few different ones slipped in. Do your self a favour and try these guys out.

Nice and easy walk to the pinnacles

Small carpark but a good starting point for taking a hike to the Pinnacle lookout. Don't forget to take some water & maybe a picnic for when you reach the lookout. Remember to take your rubbish with you.
Roses R — Google review
The carpark is quite good condition, with basic toilet facilities and information board. From here you can take an easy short walk to the Lakeview Lookout, where you can have good view of Mount William Range and Lake Bellfield. Or take the longer walks, about 2 to 4 km, the Silent Street Loop, The Pinnacle or The Sundial Peak.

Easy 2 km walk up hill to Sun Dial lookout. Some wooden board walks over streams. Beautiful rock formations Toilet in carpark. Well worth it. Highly recommend.
Monique F — Google review
Good car park with drop toilets and this is the start of Lake view walk, sundial peak and one of the tracks to the Pinnacle. This is the easiest way to walk to the Pinnacle. Short walk back on the road is mushroom rock which sits just off of the road.
Shez H — Google review
Spacious enough car park with lots of shade. There are toilets close to the parking, which is quite useful since the lookout points are at quite long walking distances. Make sure you get your own water and visit washrooms before you come, since I don't really remember seeing any water source or toilets around. It is quite clean, well maintained and well kept!
Prajakta K — Google review
Sundial carpark is one of the entry points to hike to the Grampians Pinnacle. It is 2.1km hike to the Pinnacle. This hike is a grade 3 for moderate climbers with few slippery spots on the way depending on the weather. Some of the most amazing views in the Grampians Highcountry on this track. There are approximately 15 car spots and couple of picnic tables.

Silverband Falls

Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Silverband Falls is a charming and picturesque waterfall located in Grampians National Park. The easy 1.4-km return track through beautiful bushland leads visitors to the foot of this small perennial waterfall, making it accessible for all ages. During the summer, visitors can enjoy a pleasant walk to the waterfall and get close to it, although conditions may vary during wet seasons. The sound of winds gushing through the trees adds to the serene atmosphere.
Silverband Waterfalls offers a delightful and scenic walk. During our visit, the water flow was moderate, allowing for a serene atmosphere complemented by the soothing sounds of birds and streams. The moderately challenging pathway, occasionally crossing small waterways, adds a touch of adventure without being strenuous. A short walk from the car park unveils the beauty of this waterfall, making it a pleasant excursion lasting around 15-30 minutes.
NEWLIFE4YOU — Google review
If you ever take a trip to Halls Gap or Grampians National Park, don't forget to visit this amazing waterfall. This was not in my list when we go there. I visited there on first week of July and the waterfall is just amazing. I thought to visit this after seeing a name board. So worth visiting. You need to take a short walk from car park and you will meet this amazing waterfall. The walk is moderately challenging as pathway may cover with small water ways. Despite that it was an easy walk. Will take around 15-30 mins. The surrounding was also so beautiful
Ravindi K — Google review
This hiking trail is easily accessible from the car park and suitable for kids. The trail leads to a stunning waterfall located in a beautiful area. It's an ideal spot for a picnic lunch, exploring the surroundings, and continuing on with your travels. The trail is flat, without any hills to climb, and offers opportunities to spot various animals. It's especially worth visiting after heavy rainfall.
Chris M — Google review
Lots of water flowing over falls...looks great! Easy undulating walk in is good.
RetiredAussies — Google review
Very easy walk for all levels of ability, relatively flat terrain. Interesting lack of running water in the rocky creek/river bed. The falls come into view and I guess depending on the rainfall will be how impressive the falls are on the day. Beautiful gully, easy walk, but if you're expecting Mc Kenzies Falls, your going to be disappointed. Still worth the photo opportunity
Linden J — Google review
Visited during start of summer. Small waterfall tucked in nicely in the woods. Enjoyed the trail towards the waterfall. You can actually go very near to the waterfall. But I assume, things will be different during wet seasons. Loved the sound of the winds gushing the trees. If you are coming from Bellfield side, you have to drive past the waterfalls to reach the car park. Can be tricky, if you don’t realise because, of network connectivity issue. Better have offline maps beforehand. No toilets, ample parking spots. Trail is kids and seniors friendly. But prams might find it tricky. Include in your list if you have spare time.
R D — Google review
Fairly easy walk; mostly flat. Can be muddy towards the end. A most unusual looking waterfall as the rock layers are very much horizontal all the way down the face.
Postcode 3 — Google review
Easy walk mostly flat ok for prams. Some areas are rocky but not a lot. Creek was dry when I went in Feb, but to my surprise I found the waterfall still flowing.
