Located just 10 minutes from the southern edge of the Grampians National Park, South Mokanger Farm Cottages are ideally positioned to explore the park and surrounding area (that is if you can tear yourself away). The Grampians boasts wonderful bushwalks, beautiful landscapes, senic drives, renowned waterfalls, flora and fauna.

Rhonda & Tony from Sydney said “they couldn’t believe they were within ‘one and a bit’ hours from everything. Waterfalls, mountains, world famous wineries, picturesque coastal towns, while staying nestled amongst ancient red gums in a rural paradise near the foot of the Grampians.”
