Guest Reviews

• Daniel (10/5): - Peaceful
• Michelle (10/5): - Staff were friendly, plenty to do and facilities were clean
• Darren (10/5): - Just so nice there. Even though the park was packed it was quiet when needed to be and so friendly .
• Ophelia (6/5): - I liked the privacy. the internet WiFi wasn't great though.
• Richard (10/5): - Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The venue and all facilities were clean and tidy. Safe, family and kid friendly. Will definitely stay there when next in Ballarat.
• Lisa (8/5): - There is so much to do, kids cant get bored.. staff were amazing and fixed our problem straight away.. we are planning our next stay there
• Verified traveler (6/5): 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.
• denzil (10/5): - Great property. Great location.
• Amber (8/5): - 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!
• Hayley (8/5): - 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.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 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.
• Scott (10/5): Top shelf service - 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic family park with many things for the kids to do. Spacious cabins and friendly helpful staff.
• Jane (8/5): - 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.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything I needed for a few days on a work trip. Basic but comfortable. Convenient location.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 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.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Homestead property was listed as for six... "Kids" room (four berth, used by one adult and her three kids) was cramped and scarcely enough for two people. The park itself was well appointed but this accommodation, at nearly $300 per night, was way over priced for the space and facilities provided given that kids were charged at adult prices.
• MOHAMMAD (8/5): Highly recomendable. - A very good night sleep in warm bed after a hot spa.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We enjoyed our one night stay very much. Staff were helpful and friendly and our rooms very comfortable, warm and clean. Excelent location with shopping centre accros the road.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and well maintained. Facilities to keep the children entertained. Good communication from staff and plenty of information provided in the rooms.
• HERMAN (6/5): LACK CUSTOMERS SERVICE AND HUMAN TOUCH - I book this Hotel for 2 adults which is a caravan park because I have to work at a near festival and the plans initially was to camp at the festival with one of my kids and rotate with my wife and my other kid so they can also rest from the noisy, unfortunately during that weekend the temperature reached 47 and my kids couldn't stay at the festival so they have to stay at the hotel with mum, next day the lady owner came from nowhere and start demanding payment from the children with a very aggressive manner very unprofessional, we are happy to pay that is the reason we left our credit card details when checking in, she doesn't have to embarrass customers in the middle of the walking way that is the reason she has an office, I learnt that is good to support small business but when they are only for the money and are opportunistic they lack that human touch. I WILL NEVER STAY AGAIN IN THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE LACKS CUSTOMER SERVICE, IS VERY SMALL AND OLD FOR THE SOME PRICE CAN STAY AROUND AT BETTER HOTELS.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Always a winner for myself and the family. Clean, comfortable cabin with everything you need
• Megan (8/5): Pretty good stay - We stayed at the Big-4 park for a one night stay. On arrival we were pleased with the location of our cabin. The cabin was clean, space was limited but it had a nice feel. The bed wasn’t overly comfortable but we figured it would be ok as it was only for one night. The kids loved the jumping pillow and play equipment.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Cute cabins & good for kids. Recommend not getting food from the pizza place that delivers. Was expensive and awful
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Only thing is that the Wifi is not stable.
• Debbie (10/5): - Had everything you would want , and had Woolworths across the road that you could walk too
• Alyssia (10/5): Easy family stay! - Came for a weekend stay, could have stayed longer! Cabin had everything necessary, slight smell in the kids room. AMAZING kids playground kept our 4yo entertained for HOURS and Great pool and spa area. Free pancake breakfast is a great idea on Saturday morning! Close to shops and some worthwhile restaurants. Lovely stay, Thankyou so much!
• Annie (10/5): Nice retreat for a family - Had a great stay. Was comfortable and relaxing. The cabin was modern and clean with full amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was amazing. Wish we stayed in the summer so we could make full use of everything on offer!
• Kathryn (10/5): Business Trip - Great little spot and very comfortable and quite, as I am a business women traveling alone I fine the cabins and parks a lot safer and not sharing a wall which can be at time very load. The new shopping centre just across the road is so convenient and the bed was so comfortable with good linen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly and helpful staff - We enjoyed our 1 night stop over very much. Staff were helpful and friendly and our rooms were very comfortable and clean to a couple of very tired and road weary travelers. Highly recommend this facility.
• elise (8/5): Good facilities, great for families - Stayed there only for a night, but could have quite happily stayed more. The pool is definely the highlight of this place, and I can't comment too much on playground as it rained a lot when we were there :( although I would suggest a waterproof sun shade to cover the play area, as this would allow kids to use it in the rain and provide some UV protection on hot days also :) the park itself is great though, rooms were clean, staff were helpful. Would recommend to others!
• Ken (8/5): Family orientated. - Comfortable with excellent staff attention. Very good facilities and near all amenities.
• Rosalina (10/5): - We chose windmill holiday park for our family of 5 for a night away because the pictures of the pool appealed to the kids. The service was amazing, even walking us to our cabin. Our cabin was in a great spot, next to the tennis court and the pool. They spent their time playing tennis and swimming. There is a huge screen to watch tv while swimming also. Kids were not interested in the jumping pillow and there was also an enclosed play area that they didn't use that would interest younger children. 2 minute drive to a small shopping center to buy groceries which is super convenient. I would highly recommend this holiday park and look forward to coming back.
• Julia (8/5): Great place to stay - A great place to stay. Friendly staff.
• Cheryl (10/5): - Great for kids. Had everything to keep kids entertain. The pool and area was fantastic. Loved that they did a free pancakes saturday morning with movies at night to keep kids entertain
• Andrew (8/5): would love to say for weeks - We only stayed for one night when traveling through but would love to come back and stay for weeks with the kids. All the children looked to be having a great time with all the facilities for them. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our unit was nice and clean and so were the grounds.
• Lesena (10/5): Beautiful and Tranquil - I really enjoyed my two day stay here. I loved the tranquil surrounds,the facilities,the whole atmosphere of the park. I plan to come stay regularly from now on !
• Dianne (10/5): Lovely caravan/cabin park. Very well maintained. - A short stay, but extremely pleasant one :-) Highly recommend to all.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Stayed in cabin which was comfortable, clean and spacious. Good water pressure.
• Not Provided (8/5): Great Family Accomadation. - Great place to stay with the family. Great facilities and atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice cabins in a nice Park. With no traffic noise. - Very good condition no problems Nice cabins in a nice Park. With no traffic noise.
• Jodi (10/5): Awesome pool with big screen TV! - Staff gave very useful local information and vouchers to use during our stay.
• kellie (2/5): We stayed one night and could not stay another - The cabin was very dodgy old,dirty I expected a lot more for the money we paid ... We staid one night and refused to stay another it was so bad .. The park didn't even discuss the issues with us did not even offer a refund or anything were happy to take our money though we had to book somewhere else .
• Angie (10/5): Awesome family accommodation - Huge new swimming complex with heated lap pool, 2 spas, kids splash zone, jumping pillow, go carts, kids club, movie and popcorn movie night, free pancake breakfast, tennis court, indoor sandpit. Can't wait to go back. You don't need to leave.
• Sops (10/5): Perfect for the family dtay - Lovely Big 4 park with everything to keep the family entertained. Indoor pool & recreation room were much enjoyed by the kids.
• rick (8/5): Nice close to the pool and play area for the kids - Staff were all friendly and professional with great attitude. Pool area was clean tidy and fun for all on the family. I would stay again.
• Fiona (10/5): What a great family destination! - We had a great time. Travelling with our kids is hard, twins 4 yo and a 3yo but here it was great! Staff were excellent, our cabin was great- clean, well equipped and designed for the family. The facilities were great and we will make this a yearly trip as it will get better and better as the kids are older. The indoor pool/spas/big screen TV/toddler pool/water jets is better than what would be at a 5 star resort. Its great in all weather conditions- We swam every day even when it was freezing cold outside. The kids loved the indoor play areas- sand pit and that excercise/dancing machine and we could not keep them off the jumping pillow.
• Dean (8/5): A Great Stay - Our cabin was pre heated prior to our arrival. There were flowers in a vase on the table. A clear indication of the care taken by the owners. A free pancake breakfast on Saturday morning is a great way to socialize with other travellers. Loved our time here. We would go back again.
• kaz (10/5): Great holiday park for the family - We planned a short weekend away and wanted a child friendly park not too far from some of the local sights of Ballarat. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. we stayed in a Swagman cabin which was very clean and comfortable. The indoor heated pool and spa were a real winner for us. Loved our stay and will definitely return.
• Sally (10/5): - Out of town but not too far from anything. Friendly staff. Small shopping centre across the road with Woolworths, McDonalds, chemist, fruit & veg shop
