Walhalla's Star Hotel

We recently enjoyed a delightful stay for my dad's birthday, and I can confidently say that the experience and accommodations exceeded any 5-star rating I could give. We reserved two rooms, and the owners made sure that all the amenities were conveniently located to cater to my parents' needs as they are no longer spry youngsters. Michael and Russell, the owners, are incredibly welcoming and always eager to chat. They even went above and beyond by bringing out our dessert with a candle to make my dad feel extra special on his special day. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for these wonderful hosts, as they strive to ensure your stay aligns perfectly with your expectations—a rarity in today’s hospitality industry . The atmosphere of this place is wonderfully cozy, instantly making you feel at home. Our rooms were inviting, complete with comfortable beds and fresh linens. The view from the balcony was simply stunning, offering a panoramic view of Main Street along with its historic structures and beautiful natural surroundings. Dinner was scrumptious, and the breakfast spread in the morning was impressive, featuring a wide variety of delectable options to satisfy any palate. An added treat was the charming and playful dogs, Tilly and Rupert, who brought an extra layer of joy to our stay. On top of all this fantastic service and accommodation, the price was incredibly reasonable. As always, our experience was exceptional, and we look forward to returning for another visit. I wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding establishment to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

We try and visit Walhalla annually, but we missed last year. We again stayed at the Star Hotel with five friends. The experience was excellent at every level. Michael and Russell are to be commended for looking after us so well. The arrangements to feed our group on the Friday night were innovative, and Saturday's evening meal was to its usual high standard. Thank you.

Recently stayed two nights at Walhalla's Star Hotel and would happily book it again. Travelling with a couple who also had family history in Walhalla. We stayed at the Star Hotel. The accommodation is in the center of town and is in the style of an old Guest House. Rooms are very clean an large, all with ensuites. In our case both diner and breakfast were included in the price. Which I believe is the norm. Diner was 3 courses. From memory each service, you were offered your choice of 4 entrees, 4 mains & 3 deserts. The food was excellent. The bar worked on the honesty system. A good choice of spirits and wines were available, at reasonable prices. It was very good. Breakfast offered a good range of juices, cereals and baked goods. Along with teas and coffee options. It was more than adequate. Lunch was not offered, however, the food in the cafes and Wally's Pub was good, also. The Hosts of the Star Hotel have an excellent business model here and the guest house feel adds to the old world charm to the experience of the town. One other type, despite the population of Walhalla reportedly being very small, everyone is an amateur historian. If you have any history in the area, most people will go out of their way to answer or research questions for you. Including the Hosts of the Star Hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend it. Looking forward to a return visit.

Michael and Russell were wonderful hosts. They were welcoming and accommodating. Rooms were big and spotless. Communal areas were warm and inviting. Continental breakfast was more than adequate. The evening meal was soooooo good. Our hosts were a font of knowledge about the area and its history. Would recommend to any of my friends without hesitation. Five stars.

Walhalla is a gem, off the beaten path. Hotel owners are amazing ambassadors for Walhalla and its history. The dogs are amazing too. Perfectly renovated hotel, wonderful ambience, worth a detour. No televisions in rooms is a nice change. Check it out.

This was a last minute getaway for me and hubby for two nights, never been to Walhalla before and absolutely pleasantly surprised by the history and heritage. When you decide to visit Walhalla you must book this accommodation, The Star is an absolute star! Michael and Russell are excellent hosts, lots of stories to tell about the local area, Russell galantally works as a volunteer for the CFA and Michael can testify about the bushfires in the surrounding area over the decades, of note The Star or township have never been affected so please rest assured. We were delighted to learn about an upcoming movie to be filmed at the hotel and environs, its with Liam Neeson mid January. The area is to depict Nepal, you guys have to come here and experience this hidden gem. We went on the train for 1 hour to Thomson River bridge and we did the gold mine tour, absolutely loved them both. We went to the Thomson Reservoir (dam) during our stay, very picturesque. Accommodation at The Star was awesome, the dinner package was amazing, beautiful two course meal included in the booking with a continental breakfast served in the morning. There's a 24/7 honesty bar for those who like a fine wine or alcoholic beverage or snack. Tea and Coffee are free and stations are located on both levels. We cannot fault this place at all, albeit we didn't have enough time to spend time with their dogs.
