Great hotel which gives you an outback feeling. Excellent restaurants and spacious rooms. And Kangaroos and Wallabies hopping around nearby.

It's so scary... there are a bunch of flying insects at night. So disgusting...not recommended for people with a fear of insects. I don’t know if it’s because of the season…otherwise it would be nice to check in during the day at first…

Probably the most interesting and sensational fine dining experience that we’ve ever encountered. This is a hotel/ restaurant complex in Dunkeld, a small town in Western Victoria. It is owned and operated by a seriously wealthy and professional family and seeks to provide a unique and excellent accommodation and dining facility. The Royal Mail Hotel consists of approximately 30 individual ground floor and limited 1st floor units in a beautifully landscaped bush setting just adjacent to the Grampians National park and south of Mt Sturgeon, a spectacular mountain in a rugged range. Unit accommodation is absolutely first class, rooms are tastefully and brilliantly constructed and designed. Each unit overlooks bushland and parking is just outside the door of the unit. Furniture, decor and fittings are luxurious and tastefully assembled. Quiet, excellent climate control and soundproofing are top notch. But the masterpiece here is the dining experience which consists of changing and seasonal degustation set menus complimented by a 30,000 bottle wine cellar and vast array of spirits and some beers. The international cellar features every quality local and generally European wines, some costing thousands of dollars. The set menu that we experienced was 8 plus courses of incredible complexity and precision. Wait staff are very knowledgeable and can answer any reasonable question about the food and its sources. The sitting can take 3 hours, there is no rush or urgency. A truly unique experience

Bedrooms & bathrooms perfect Kitchen with large dining table will be perfect once basic cooking utensils etc are there Formal sitting room is very second rate, if furnishings are updated and room made for sitting and relaxing it wld be perfect for gazing at Mt Sturgeon.

Location, food, accommodation pleasant, polite and professional staff all combined to make this a memorable winner for my wife and I. Scenic views and luck with the weather helped a lot too. We'll be going back.

The dining at wickens was a special experience. The area is lovely with lots of walking options. The staff are exceptional and friendly! We also really enjoyed parker st project and it’s great to have a more casual dining option on site. The room was comfortable with a lovely view.

This is the 3rd time we have been to the Royal Mail hotel. Great sized rooms, with a view of the Southern Grampians. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. We ate at the Parker Street Project on the first night and had the Tasting Menu. It was so good, so good. We could not fault any of the dishes. The following night we dined at Wickens. This is another level up. The degustation meal was SPECTACULAR. This is the 2nd time we have dined at Wickens, and it did not disappoint. The staff were brilliant. During our stay, we did the Garden Tour that was hosted by Robin Wickens himself. We learnt so much. We also did the Cellar Tour. What a cellar. We are already trying to work out when we can go back. Very Highly Recommended.

Excellent facility with walking trails nearby. Food experience was the best we’ve had especially fine dining at Wickens, enhanced by morning visit to the Kitchen Market Garden attached to resort.
