Halls Haven Resort, Grampians, Victoria

The setting. My room overlooked a large pond which, with the mountains in the background, provided a most scenic vista.

The wildlife on the property which included goats – that guests are welcome to feed – and alpacas. There are also chickens and ducks.

Family friendly facilities including a tennis court, play equipment, bikes, trampoline and swimming pool.

Bush walks at the back of the property. I saw plenty of birds and kangaroos on these walks.

My room was very clean and while the furniture was basic there was everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, the water hot and all the cooking facilities worked well.

Free Wi-Fi and a large collection of DVDs.
