YHA Grampians Eco, Halls Gap

This was my second time staying here, and once again, it was a great experience. After a lovely day exploring the Grampians, it was nice to come back to a place that has everything you need. The facilities are excellent, especially the spacious kitchen which made meal prep easy and enjoyable. The common lounge area was a cozy highlight—during winter, they even have a fireplace that adds a warm, festive touch. The couch was clean and super comfy, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The room itself was very comfortable. The heater worked perfectly, and everything—from the toilet to the shower—was spotless. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Checking in and out was smooth, though it's worth noting that check-in is only available during a limited time window. At checkout, guests are asked to place used sheets in a designated area, which was clearly communicated. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

I stayed 3 nights but easily could stay the whole week there. Well-equipped kitchen, laundry (paid), clean bathrooms, free parking, and I was lucky to stay alone in my dorm room.

Clean. Great location. Friendly. There is a but...it's a never ending symphony of slamming doors. Every time anyone exits or enters any room, every other room can hear it. BANG, BANG very loud. Good luck getting any sleep.

Very nicely located and looked after YHA. Good setup with two kitchens and lounge areas, + great dining room and outdoor eating / relaxing areas. Ended up staying three times using this as a base for hikes on the Grampians Peaks Trail. Hosts are excellent and very helpful (and actually on the desk, unlike a lot of YHA where desk is staffed by other travellers with little local knowledge). Would definitely recommend as a great base to see the Grampians.
