We couldn't have asked for a better stay at Return to the Royal Mail. The blue stone cottages on Mt Sturgeon property provided the perfect mix of privacy and stunning views. The new Wickens experience was a true delight with its excellent room, delicious locally sourced menu, and well-chosen wine selections. We were impressed by the professional service, which was attentive without being intrusive. The portions were reasonable and the pacing between courses was just right. We already have our next visit booked and can't wait to return.

Great service, thoughtful details, stunning views, comfy rustic charm, shuttle bus convenience, impressive dinner.

Nothing that I didn't like.

Comfy bed, warm heater, great location. Excellent and comfortable rooms with spacious bathroom and walk-in shower. Informative tour of vegetable garden. Friendly service in a lovely setting. Impressive five-course dinner with fabulous flavors. Superbly designed and spacious restaurant.

Couldn't stay longer.

Great location with spectacular views of the southern grampians. Comfortable and spacious cabins with a log fire and daily servicing. Package deal that includes accommodation, meals, and a couple of great red glasses.

Slow service in both the fine dining restaurant and the bar. Some rooms were tired and not spotless, with dirty windows and debris in the bathroom grout.

Views, comfortable bed, nicely appointed room, accommodating for dietary requirement, 'wow' service, drove from South Australia.

Nothing could have been better.

Located in a stunning natural setting, with beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. The hotel offers a range of features including a swimming pool and cottages for a more private and spacious stay. The menu at the restaurant is expertly crafted, offering a wide variety of options to suit different tastes.

Some rooms lack the luxurious amenities and facilities one would expect from a premium hotel, with basic features and limited services. The dining experience, while good, may not meet the expectations of those who have dined at Michelin-starred restaurants.

I recently stayed at the Royal Mail in Dunkeld for a few days and had a fantastic time. The optional excursions provided great value, with 2 free excursions included. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and despite being across the road, they were quiet. The breakfasts were excellent, and the new restaurant, Wickens, was absolutely superb. The location is beautiful, with easy access to nature trails for bushwalking and exploring. a great place to stay with plenty of attractions nearby.

Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

The location of this hotel is perfect for those looking for a peaceful getaway in the Grampians. With stunning views of the surrounding nature, guests can truly relax and unwind. The rooms are comfortable and offer great amenities, such as comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. The staff at this hotel are friendly and provide excellent service, ensuring a pleasant stay for all guests. the dining options at the hotel are exceptional, with delicious food made from fresh, local produce.

Some guests have mentioned that the chairs in the dining area can be uncomfortable, which may affect the overall dining experience.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The location was perfect for outdoor adventures and the mountain view room was breathtaking. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The hotel was clean and the amenities were top-notch. The food in the evening was excellent, especially the dinner at Wickens restaurant. We loved the spacious room and the beautiful bathroom. The cooked-to-order breakfast was delicious and of high quality. we had a great experience and will definitely be back.

We felt extremely welcome and had no complaints at all.

We enjoyed the key location of the hotel in the city center, close to restaurants, and tourist attractions. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The highlight for us was the breathtaking mountain views from the balcony.

The floorboards made a lot of noise when we walked, and the balcony door was hard to open and close. More disappointingly, the price we paid for the two nights was too high for the limited amenities offered.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and professional, and they went above and beyond to make my experience fantastic. The cottage I stayed in was absolutely divine, with a stunning backdrop and cozy fireplace. I was impressed with the breakfast basket and the delicious dinner at the restaurant. The added bonus of the wildlife feeding tours and walks through the property made my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone I know!

I highly recommend this hotel to others.

The hotel facilities were excellent, including the clean and inviting pool. The breakfast hamper in the cottage and the shuttle service were nice touches. The staff were very friendly and provided exceptional service.

Nothing, all excellent.

Delicious menu with homegrown products, sensational wine pairings, friendly and informed staff, options for garden and wine cellar tours, upgraded and elegant accommodation. Peaceful garden room with minimal noise. Incredible cottage stay with private walking trails and wildlife sightings. Convenient location near popular hiking trails. Excellent service, accommodating vegetarian options. Lovely town and warm people. a delightful experience.

Our one night stay at Royal Mail was truly memorable. We had the pleasure of going on the conservation tour and witnessing quolls for the first time. Dinner at Wickens was an exquisite experience, with a table that offered breathtaking views of Mt Sturgon and the kitchen. The skilled team in the kitchen prepared fresh and delicious dishes, especially the ox cheek and steak. The spacious Garden Room provided ample comfort and accessibility. The Kitchen Garden tour was enlightening, thanks to the kind and patient guides. The staff throughout the hotel provided quality service, making us feel appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel.

Recently stayed at Royal Mail in Dunkeld for a weekend getaway. The staff at the reception and restaurant were friendly and pleasant. The rooms were clean, although a little shabby. Meals in the dining room were delicious, and the staff were exceptional. The location with walking trails was great, and the cottage we stayed in had private trails to Mt Sturgeon.

Couldn't recommend this hotel more.
