Walhalla's Star Hotel

(2 reviews)

We stayed in Mar 2023. We were the only guests in this historic gold mining town. The hotel,…read moredespite being a rebuild, is reminiscent of an historic era but with modern conveniences. We were off season so much of the town was closed. However, we received lots of good advice from the proprietor and enjoyed following up on his suggestions of things we might want to see and do. The walk up to the cemetery was fun, the steps to the mine and views from there was worth the effort. Food and facilities are wonderful... A good reason they have received multiple awards. Thanks for making our stay spectacular.

Before I talk about the lovely hotel, this review will only be complete with a little history and…read morebackground of this gem of a town. Walhalla is a historical town filed with rich heritage of the glory days as a mining town. As with most mining towns, Walhalla was a flourishing town that survived on gold mining until the mines will closed in 1914. With the closure of the mines, the town slowly lost its buzz until recent years when the town was recreated with much care and accuracy to restore iconic buildings and historical spaces to reflect the heritage. The Walhalla's Star Hotel is one such building that was rebuilt after being burnt down by a fire many years ago. While the exterior reflects the past, the interior is no lack of the modern! Spacious rooms and well-equipped with the necessary amenities, you are greeted warmly by the proprietor and owner, Michael. As we were there during winter, having electric blankets was a luxury that we were grateful to have. The largest hospitality space at Walhalla, one will be fortunate to enjoy the charming town staying over in this 24-room hotel. To make the experience even more exciting, visit during the month of August each year and you'll be treated with a visual feast by the Walhalla Vinter Ljustfest. The usually pitch black town once the sun sets turns into a pretty little lighted town decorated to a special theme each year. A popular weekend getaway at 3hrs drive away from Melbourne city, do book your weekend getaway easily as they run out of rooms over the weekends or during special events very quickly. With only 16 permanent residents, this charming town prides in their key highlights such as the Extended Tunnel Mine tours as well as the Walhalla Goldfield Railways. Enjoy your stay in the Walhalla Star Hotel as they will welcome you with open arms. :)
