This was our second visit to the Royal Mail Hotel and we enjoyed it even more than the last. The staff are amazing and remembered us from four months ago. We were impressed with the bistro's food and wine once again and the Dunkeld surroundings are breathtaking - the Deluxe Mountain View room is lovely and offers an incredible sight... More

We stayed for three nights in the Mt Sturgeon Cottages of the Royal Mail Hotel and it was simply superb. All staff welcomed us with true country hospitality and ensured we were well looked after for our entire stay. We ate at the Restaurant, Bistro and Pub and would happily recommend each of these dining options. The cottage was very... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which was nice, free wifi and austar although internet a bit hit and miss and you need a password for each device which only lasts 24 hours. We stayed two nights for the price of one and it included breakfast. Great spot close to the Grampians. Beds were very comfortable. We didnt eat... More

Our weekend at the Royal Mail Hotel Dunkeld was all we could hope for and then some. We did the 4pm cellar tour on the Saturday and were fascinated by the astounding collection. The Mountain View deluxe room was exceptionally well appointed, was quiet and had beautiful views of the Grampians. The room itself was spotless and I loved the... More

We had a decent stay at the Royal Mail but I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't return. I booked into a Garden view room and knew ahead of time that it wasn't in the main area of the hotel. The room was nice enough, nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either. I will say that the... More

We stayed at The Royal Mail Hotel to try the degustation menu at the first class restaurant. We were not disappointed. The accommodation was spacious, modern and comfortable. The degustation menu was fantastic. Next time we would not match the wines with the food as some wines we did not like and the separate wine list is huge. Too many... More

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment, with our two small children. The apartment was over two levels and had loads of room for all of us - we were really surprised how spacious it was. The downstairs was the living area, with some kitchen facilities, and the large bedrooms & bathroom were upstairs. The upstairs balcony had a great... More

I ordered a chicken parma from the bar menu which was around $20, it was dry and tasteless. My husband ordered the beef burger $18 and the bun on top was burnt. The atmosphere was quite nice and the service was excellent but overall the experience was underwhelming.

Rooms are basically good quality motel rooms - say 4star. Comfortable, good facilities etc. Great view of Mt Sturgeon etc. But most importantly it is close to the Royal Mail restaurant which is great. The bush walks along the creek towards their other property are terrific as well - lots of roos on dusk.
