Exceeded all expectations this place! We travel around heaps in Australia and overseas but I think this place is the cleanest place we have stayed at. So convenient, the cafe/restaurant/bar was like 15m from our room. Meals start at about 6or7am and go right through the day and into the night. Friendly and helpful staff. Great indoor heated pool with 2x spas and a sauna. Indoor gym, pickle ball court, pool table, foosball table and 2 table tennis tables. Will definitely stay here next time we come to Ballarat!

We were delighted by this hotel, we could find no fault in any area. The staff were all friendly and helpful, requests in the restaurant were met, for example changing chips for more vegetables. The food was consistently of good quality and well priced. Parking was outside our room. The room itself was very well maintained with a small kitchen area with a kettle, toaster and toasted sandwich maker. Supplies were replaced every day. The possibility to launder clothes, free of cost would be very useful during a longer stay. The pool and gym facilties were excellent, not only running machines etc. But also table tennis, a tennis court etc. The pool itself was clean and had water jets and jacuzzi pools as well as a sauna and small changing area. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel and would use it again.

We have stayed here twice this month. Once for a romantic night away and again with the kids (ages 18 and 14). We love the big bathroom area in the family room, the pool, spa, sauna facilities and enjoyed playing Pool and Table tennis! The onsite restaurant has all you need and live music on the weekends too! Needless to say, we will be back! Our new fave place to enjoy time away from home!!

This has to be one of the best regional motels we’ve ever stayed in. We chose it for its proximity to Sovereign Hill, and it was conveniently located for shopping and dining options at a short drive too. The service at check in was friendly and professional, the room was impeccably clean and tasteful, modern kitchenette and bathroom, comfortable bed, Netflix, blockout curtains, pool towels on request to take a dip in the indoor pool. Can’t fault it, I’ve already started recommending it to family and friends.

The only problem was when we arrived they were closing the pool for the day. They did offer a pool pass for the next day after check out if we wanted it, which was very accomodating. We have stayed here before and loved it then too. That time we were able to swim in the pool and it was beautiful. Heated, clean, accesable and just overall relaxing. Highly recommend staying here, it is pricey but you get great amenities and you are only steps from a very yummy restaurant and bar. This time we had brekkie delivered first thing, and my mouth is still salivating over it. Avococado and tomato on toast with feta and egg. So delicious and fresh! We were also lucky enough to stay in a family spa suite. This was very clean with great little kitchenette containing microwave toaster and a bar fridge. They supplied tea cofffee and couple of starter milk containers. We also had shampoo conditiiner soap bars and liquid soap supplied as well. The spa was awesome and the shower was so relaxing. We will be back!
