  • Hello I’m looking for accommodation for 2 months from 27th June for 1 person while i work in the area. Can you please give me your best weekly/monthly rate? Regards, Daniel.

    • Hi Daniel,

      Unfortunately there aren’t any properties available in Ararat for your date period. However there are a number of options in the nearby township of Stawell (20 mins north). I would recommend making your booking asap as availability of these may not last.

      I note that there are no long-term rentals that I am aware of, so I have located a couple of options in motels/hotels that have a fridge and/or microwave as well as a desk or seating area to make your long-term stay more comfortable.

      Also note that for most booking sites (such as Booking.com whom we use) they will only accept bookings of 30 days at a time. So you may need to make 2 bookings for your entire stay.
      1. London Motor Inn – Approx $1618 for 30 nights ($400 per week)
      2. Motel Stawell – Approx $1884 for 30 nights ($470 per week)
      3. Hi Way Eight Motor Inn – Approx $1884 for 30 nights ($470 per week)
      4. Coorrabin Motor Inn – Approx $2106 for 30 nights ($526 per week)

      Best of luck with your work commitments in Ararat.
      Regards,
      Jess
