Very clean, friendly and provides what it says on the tin! Only negative would be that the bathrooms are very small, but it all is very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful with restaurant advice.

Great service, clean, modern rooms, cozy - a great room for a night stopover We were given a late check out when we asked for it. The room was small (toilet is really small) but for the price we paid, it was worth the stay. Modern rooms, clean, comfortable. Would definitely return if in the area!

We have always stayed at the Chalambar Motel for the Jailhouse rock n roll festival for the past 11 years. We have seen changes of conditions and owners and have always been treated with honesty and respect.We could not make it one year and were still assured a room for the next year. The owners seem like they cannot do... More

Stayed here for a weekender in Ararat. Went by the Trip Advisor review to select. The motel is recently refurbished and continuing upgrades, but the rooms are compact - especially the bathroom which is good for anyone average size or less, but any more than that and it's a very tight fit. Whilst the rooms are double glazed, it was... More

Stayed here on business, and happy I did. Room was modern, clean and tidy with fixtures and fittings to make stay comfortable. Room was a little smaller than normal, but there was plenty of room for one. Being winter and cold the size was possible a advantage for heating, although the heating/cooling was of good specification? I will stay here... More

On the edge of town on the western side of Ararat, the Chalambar is a good little motel. The rooms are small in size but very comfortable with very modern fittings. The hosts were very genial and I had problems at all. It's only a quick drive into town for dinner. I'd stay there again with no hesitation. They are... More

We stayed here for 1 night while in Ararat for a Ghost tour at J-ward. It was a great little place to stay. The owners are lovely and very friendly. The accommodation is clean and modern. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. We will definitely be back when staying in Ararat next. Thanks very much for your hospitality.
