The Royal Mail Hotel is a gourmand’s dream. Guests can celebrate the food and wine of regional Victoria at the two restaurants then tour the kitchen gardens and the award-winning 28,000-bottle wine cellar. Even casual foodies will find this location stunning.

From cottages to apartments to homesteads, this hotel delivers. Guests have a dizzying array of accommodation options to choose; from Deluxe Mountain View Rooms with sweeping views of the stunning Grampians National Park to the Mulberry House, a beautifully restored country house with four bedrooms and a spacious wraparound balcony. Nearby walks from the hotel reward guests with stunning views and abundant wildlife.

Executive Chef Robin Wickens leads guests on an epicurean journey of whimsy, innovation, and sustainability at the hotel’s signature restaurant, Wickens. Guests can get a peek behind the scenes at the daily chef-led tour of the kitchen gardens. Up to 80% of the produce served at the restaurant is grown on site and harvested daily for the peak of freshness (the rest is foraged from the surrounding orchards and pastures). The farm next door supplies high-quality beef and lamb.

Our team recommends this hotel for its ‘paddock to plate’ dining experience and the unparalleled views of Mt. Sturgeon. There is no finer hotel in the Dunkeld area
