The last guests review - 'Our regular little get away! We love staying here! We keep coming back'! Yes, Creswick is rather cold during Winter, I need more comment on your unsatisfactory review. There was a spelling mistake also. Regards IAN - Cheers

I enjoyed my stay along with my little pup Iris. We were warmly welcomed by host with a cosy cabin right on a walking park and easy access to the village of Creswick. Lovely shops and cafés . I would recommend this accommodation for anyone wishing to keep it simple and cozy. My only suggestion is that Wifi be added for any emergencies and the odd Census. Best wishes.

We are repeat customers and love the cottage, its location, it is close to town and the lake with its amazing sunrises/sets and bird life. Great for walks, easy to get to Ballarat. It is comfy, equipped well, the water is hot. So safe for our dog, Ian is a lovely host.

Really nice and cosy cabin. Great location with only a short walk to the shops and literally across from the swimming lake area. Only wish the weather was warmer so I could enjoy the lake more. Property was fully secure too for my dog.
