Both sides scored a couple of goals after the big break, with the scores going into the final quarter 9.11 (65) to 6.5 (41) Ararat's way.
Ararat levelled up again in the last quarter, adding 6.4 to their score, while Nhill could only manage 1.2.
Final scores were 15.15 (105) to 7.7 (49).
For the ladder leaders and minor premiers, Ben Taylor and Cody Lindsay were best on ground, with Taylor booting four majors.
For Nhill, Jake McQueen and Liam Albrecht were in form, with Drew Schneider the leading goal scorer for the side with three.
