Cold

Heater did not warm up the cabin and we had one of the coldest weekends. The room was lucky to reach 15, just take the edge off. That was leaving the heater on. Not enough blankets to keep us a warm. Was lucky to have an electric blanket.

This ticked all the boxes for my family for a short getaway. Neat tidy cabins, indoor heated pool and spa, play equipment to keep kids happy and occupied. There was a new shopping centre with food outlets and supermarket just down the road which was an added bonus too. No downside for us, super happy stay!

This was our second stay and opted for a smaller cabin. Cabin was very clean and located directly next to the playground, basketball court, tennis court and pool which was very convenient for our children. But this did mean we got a lot of foot traffic around our cabin. All facilities were very clean and modern and check in and check out was very easy. My only complaints would be the size of our cabin, I would definitely opt for a larger cabin than the standard as we felt very cramped with 4 people. We also did not have an iron or ironing board provided and as it gets very cold in ballarat at night, we would have to turn the heater on but once we would put the temperature higher than 22 the power board would shut off and we would have to keep restarting it. Overall a lovely stay, would return, but would choose a different accomodation type.

Place was nice and inviting. Staff were nice 2.00 check in, room wasn’t ready till almost 4.30 Waiting at the gate with a confused and irritated 6 year old got our stay off to a negative start The cabin we stayed in was not level so our the bed was on an angle, feet higher than our heads. Yes I had access to a spirit level and checked so I knew it wasn’t me going mad. Didn’t get much sleep.....I’m not a bat. I don’t usually sleep upside down. On a positive note we had to leave a day early and the staff did refund the last nights stay we had already paid in full for.

Booked as part of a large family reunion. Service in the lead up and during the stay were first class and the facilities greatly suited the range of ages and the different activities we had planned.

A very nice park with lots of trees and bushes. While compact, the cabin was perfect for our overnight stay, with everything we needed, in good condition and comfortable. Shops and takeaways were very close by. The person who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our stay here.

Travelling for work so was in a good location close to the commercial area. Very comfortable and convenient. Everything I needed to self-cater. Price reasonable for what you get as accommodation seems expensive in Ballarat area.
