Asses Ears Wilderness Lodge

If you are looking for adventure then this is the place to stay. The Asses Ears Wilderness Lodge is set on 400 acres surrounded by kangaroos and other wildlife, fantastic views of the Grampians with sunsets you will never forget.

We have 8 en-suite cabins, with a range of doubles, family rooms, 6 and 8 bed dorms. There is a large camp ktichen and restaurant and bar in the lodge where you can have a game of pool or watch TV or cosy up to the wood fire in winter.

There's plenty to do while you are here: Go on a quad bike tour on our property and check out the wildlife while you test your new skills, try a 4WD tour, go horse riding next door, rock climbing, bushwalking or go for a sunset walk on our property to look for kangaroos. The swimming pool is available in summer.

Steve and Caroline will help you plan your travel itinerary while you are here.
