COVID-19 Update 7 July 2020
The Victorian Government has just announced Stage 3 Lockdowns for Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, effective from midnight on 8 July, for 6 weeks.
If you are in one of those areas you will be unable to travel to Halls Gap. For a list of affected areas, refer to the Victorian Government website:
https://www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covid-19-restrictions-victoria
We will be offering full refunds to anyone unable to take up their booked accommodation with us that are unable to travel to Halls Gap due to the lockdown. Please confirm by contacting us.
If you live outside of the lockdown area, you will still be able to enjoy your stay as booked! You can also book accommodation over the lockdown period. We’ll be envious that you’ll still be able to enjoy the Grampians while we’re stuck at home in Melbourne.
Regardless of where you live, we are still taking bookings after the lockdown period ends (20 August). Check our Booking Availability calendar and please contact us if you are interested.

Winter can be one of the most enjoyable times to spend in the Grampians, with often clear skies, good weather for hiking and evenings spent in front of a warm fire.
Royston Lodge is well equipped for winter getaways. We have a Coonara woodstove which is enough to heat the whole house, plus under-floor heating in the bathroom and toilet. Firewood is provided. Plus there are a few extras like a heated towel rail – nothing quite like a pre-warmed towel as you get out of the shower!
