We called into the Royal Mail Hotel to enjoy a glass of wine and find out for ourselves what it is like. It was a very warm and inviting atmosphere when we walked in, the bartender also made us feel very welcome. We had just driven from Halls Gap and enjoyed the very spectacular views along the way. But there... More

Great setting, great food & great service. Highly recommend people to take the opportunity to sample the fare on offer & lovely atmosphere. The rooms are not 5 star by any means but the rest of the place makes up for it

The Royal Mail deserves its accolades for delicious, inspired and well-served food. It's a nice place to come home to after a day rambling through and around the Grampians. Even the short walks, well-delineated, out from the hotel are delightful. And a drive in any direction indicates why it's great to motor around Victoria. The rooms are very comfortable, with... More

The RMA not only lived up to our high expectations but exceeded them. We selected a two night 'Unwind and dine' package for our 25th wedding anniversary. The accommodation was top notch and included an excellent complimentary bottle of Yarrabank bubbles on ice (valued at $85 and lovely) as well as Koko chocolates in the room on arrival. So no... More

We spent one night here as we had booked for dinner in the restaurant. We opted to stay in a garden view room as we felt that we couldn't justify the cost of an upgrade when we knew that we would only be actually in the room for just a few hours. As has been mentioned before, the garden view... More

Some of the best food in Australia matched by one of the best wine cellars. We made the trip from Melbourne and it was worth it. The food in the restaurant is served as a 10 course tasting and all were superb. We had a lovely Tasmanian Riesling but most chose the matched wines to courses which cost $115. The... More

Travelled 3 1/2 hours from Melbourne with the highest expectations. Left financially ruined and underwhelmed by the food. The back drop of the Grampians is stunning as is the vegetable garden. Put simply, the food looked pretty but tasted DULL. I would have preferred less test tube and twizzer, more heart and soul.

I stayed here with a mate on the way round the state on a motorbike and wine tour. Two nights and we ate at the Restaurant one night and the Brasserie the next. What an unexpected joy for both accommodation and food. Have recommended it to anyone we speak to.

Stopped at the Royal Mail for lunch and ate from the bar menu..Whole rainbow trout was perfect and a mixed grill with wagyu beef just fantastic value and service and presentation you'd expect in the best 5 star restaurants.

On our way from Ararat to Robe. We were desultorily looking for accommodation on the way and chanced across a mention of ‘glorious pub food: wagyu corned beef with mash’. This sounded like us so we phoned the Royal Mail Hotel to book a room. We were a bit startled to find that rooms started at $260 a night but... More
