Old Dadswell Town
Overview
Old Dadswell Town offers a quirky slice of Australian history, blending themed accommodation with a dash of nostalgia and good humour. Nestled on 115 hectares of bushland at the northern edge of the Grampians National Park, this one-of-a-kind retreat sits halfway between Stawell and Horsham, making it a handy base for exploring the region. It's the sort of place where you can unwind with views of the Grampians, spot kangaroos at dusk, and soak up the charm of a recreated old Aussie town.
The property features seven spacious, self-contained cabins, each with its own theme - from the Cobb & Co to the Post Office - sleeping up to 24 people in total. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a birthday bash, or a weekend with mates, there's plenty of room to spread out. Communal spaces like the shearing shed-style town hall and Max's Garage (complete with a 1950s diner and car memorabilia) add to the fun, making group get-togethers easy and memorable.

Travellers love Old Dadswell Town for its quirky, themed cabins and the delightful little "town" to explore, complete with a Town Hall/common room boasting a big open fire, heaps of memorabilia and plenty of laughs. Reviews highlight clean, comfortable, self?contained accommodation with well equipped kitchens, plus a large function room that's spot on for group stays. The peaceful bush setting on the edge of the Grampians is a winner too, with walking trails, abundant wildlife like kangaroos, emus and birds, and starry night skies, sunsets and sunrises. Several guests also mentioned dog friendly and disability friendly options.
