Welcome to Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park

This is the kind of magic place where you can spend a whole day losing yourself in the sounds and scents of nature, yet emerge having found yourself – recharged and reconnected. Rejuvenate your senses with a dip in the wood-heated outdoor pool, and bask in the day’s final rays accompanied by a symphony of birdsong and the company of grazing kangaroos. Then as the sun slips away, enjoy the cosy ambience of a crackling campfire, as you sip a hot cuppa or full-bodied local shiraz, and swap stories with fellow travellers in the communal camp lounge.

Escape the daily grind and discover a heavenly haven of natural bliss at Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park.

Cabins, Glamping and Camping

Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park offers a variety of accommodation set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and the breathtaking backdrop of Grampians National Park.

An assortment of cabins are dotted throughout the peaceful grounds. Snuggle up with a loved one in a cosy couples’ cabin, thoughtfully designed with privacy in mind. Or bring your family and friends and make yourself at home in one of the modern 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom self-contained cabins, complete with kitchens, barbecues, outdoor settings, and Sealy mattresses for the ultimate nights’ sleep. The contemporary cabins feature Scandinavian-inspired interiors, including white walls, wood grain Laminex floors, local artworks, and plenty of natural light.

For those looking to spend quality time with a larger group or extended family, there’s a spacious house accommodating up to 14 guests, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an open fireplace.

If you love the immersive experience of camping, but don’t relish the hassle of pitching a tent, then our suite of glamping options may be the perfect solution. Couples seeking to reconnect with nature and each other will love the individually themed Bell Tents, set close to bushland in an adults-only retreat at the far end of the property. Nearby, a quaint vintage caravan and comfortable sleeping pod accommodating two offer no-fuss comfort for those who prefer to keep it simple, with use of communal kitchen and bathroom facilities. Bellfield and Pinnacle Safari Tents accommodate up to four guests, creating a fun space for outdoor adventures for couples and small families. Other Safari Tents occupy a prime position, overlooking the National Park and majestic mountain ranges. They comfortably accommodate up to five guests and feature the convenience of a private bathroom and basic kitchen facilities.

Fabulous Facilities

Step inside the cute reception area at the entrance of the property and experience the warm welcome of friendly and helpful staff, ready to make your stay truly memorable. The adjoining quirky little gift shop sells a thoughtfully sourced range of local products for purchase, including hand-poured candles, bright and beautiful earrings, and local wines – the perfect accompaniment to relaxed, campfire conversations. This is also the place to source your morning caffeine fix, with delicious, barista-made coffee available for purchase between 8 and 11am daily.

Once you’ve checked in, follow a series of roadways (aptly named after local native wildlife) to your cabin or campsite, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy the quiet company of kangaroos and emus, or the symphony of birdsong that echoes across the valley floor.

If your muscles are tired from adventures in nature, take a rejuvenating dip in our unique, woodfire-heated swimming pool. Warmed to a steamy 33 degrees, the pool proves popular all year round! Children will love burning off energy in the centrally located park playground, while parents will appreciate the evening peace and quiet as the kids fall peacefully asleep after a busy day of outdoor adventures.

Campers are well catered for with a host of convenient amenities including a highly functional camp kitchen, outdoor barbecues on the deck, and a comfy communal camp lounge perfect for happy hour drinks. A well-equipped laundry helps you keep things clean, and recently renovated amenities blocks include shared and private bathrooms options.

In the evenings, gather with fellow guests by the communal fireplace, to warm your body and soul with the joy of travel tales shared by the dancing flames of a crackling log fire.

Accessibility

The friendly and welcoming staff at Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park are happy to assist all guests and will do all they can to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park is nestled in nature, about five minutes’ drive from the small tourist township of Halls Gap, in the gorgeous Grampians region of Victoria. You will need to self-drive or make private arrangements to get there, as public transport or taxi services are not widely available to or within the region. Halls Gap is a picturesque three-hour drive from Melbourne CBD, or a pleasant five-and-a-half-hour drive from the South Australian capital city of Adelaide.

At the time of publishing this audio guide, the park’s accessible bathroom amenities were undergoing renovation to improve access and align them with the exceptional look and feel of the rest of the park. Once completed, they will be a small yet functional amenity, including toilet, basin, walk-in shower, adult change table and all the appropriate grab rails. They will also be accessible with a universal MLAK key for added convenience.

If you’re looking for a self-contained option that’s more accessible for those with limited mobility, The House may be a great option. With modern décor and tonnes of space, it has been designed and executed with the needs of wheelchair users in mind. It features a spacious kitchen, wider hallways, accessible bathroom, and large bedrooms for ease of access. Please contact the operator directly to discuss your unique needs, and to determine if these facilities meet your individual requirements.

At the time of publishing, the award-winning Brambuk Cultural Centre was closed for upgrades, with an anticipated reopening in 2024. However, the National Park Information Centre, Brambuk Café and Eatery, and self-guided, wheelchair-friendly walks through the Brambuk wetlands and native gardens were still operating.
