YHA Grampians Eco, Halls Gap

The bed & pillow was one of the most comfortable I have ever had in a YHA. Wi-Fi throughout the accommodation. Rooms were adequate in size, but I was in a room with 2 men which was a bit awkward - but they were amazing & so considerate. Staff were so friendly & really looked after me & understood I was in the area to run 165km over 4 days & needed a bit of love. The gardens outside were so relaxing & the lounge in the TV room was great to put my sore feet up at the end of the day, The TV was easy to use. Games & books were available. Plenty of room to cook - 2 areas set up. Ample kitchen cooking facilities & equipment which was clean & well located. Close to town & across the road from a walkway which I used a number of times. Car parking was awesome & easy to get in and out of. The facility was also very proactive in all aspects of being environmentally focused - Worm farm, recycling, signs everywhere as to how you can assist with the environment. Sign in sheet for walkers/hikers, site felt secure & it was quite - except for the cicadas!!! Overall the stay was amazing.

Can't be beaten for value and facilities. This was our third stay and we continue to stay here every trip to the Grampians.

Very spacious lodge with a large well equipped kitchen, and two separate lounge areas where you can watch a movie or relax with a book. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of wildlife at doorstep. Huge lockers in the dorm so you can put stuff away instead of having everything on the floor (but there were only 2 lockers in the 3-bed dorm)

Private room was cheaper than staying in a motel and bigger than many motel rooms. Well-equipped and well-organised kitchen made it easy to self-cater. Spacious dining room and two lounges with TV, plus outdoor area with a fire pit and visitors such as cockatoos and emus. Simple touches like towel rails in the bedrooms were appreciated.

The location and the hostel were superb. Really liked the open and friendly vibe. The staff was fabulous and accommodating. The kitchen facilities were great and there was heaps of storage and space for cooking. The rooms, lounge area, and dining area were spacious. Great access to all sorts of walks and super close to the little township that has great coffee and food options.
