Royal Mail Hotel

The Royal Mail Hotel is a much-loved attraction in Dunkeld that boats a restaurant, hotel and also hosts weddings and private functions. Come here for a tasty dinner or for a longer stay during your visit to the Grampians.

Alternatively, opt for the equally delicious five-course meal option. On Wednesdays and Thursday nights, a three-course chef tasting menu is on offer. Breakfast is served daily, while lunch is available between Thursday and Sunday. You will be delighted to know that the products used in the kitchen are sourced from the organic kitchen garden nearby. Lamb, beef and eggs are also obtained from the farm.

For those travelling in groups, there is a private dining room which is available for groups of up to 20 people. Make sure to call to book ahead.

Once you have enjoyed the Royal Mail Hotel’s sumptuous food, take the opportunity to sample the hotel’s accommodation options. Ranging from simple well-furnished garden rooms to expansive modern deluxe rooms, visitors are spoilt for choice. For families, the nearby Mt Sturgeon station at the sheep farm is home to a six bedroom homestead and stone cottages that provide the ultimate escape into the charming countryside. What’s more, there are also dog-friendly cottages for pet lovers.

The Royal Mail Hotel is also an idyllic location for destination weddings. With more than 70 acres of manicured gardens at the Mt Sturgeon Homestead, you can be sure to enjoy a timelessly elegant wedding ceremony. Visit the Royal Mail Shop to get gift certificates and an array of souvenirs.

So make sure to stop by the Royal Mail Hotel on your next trip to the Grampians.
