NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park

Dirty undies under the bed. Good facilities for children

We always love going there. 4/6 years the kids and I have spent 5 days chilling beside the pool and exploring the town. Great friendly staff and fantastic amenities.

We stayed in a miner's cabin for 3 nights whilst celebrating a wedding in Ballarat. the check in process was smooth. The park had plenty of amenities and was clean. It did seem to need a bit of maintenance, dryers not working in laundry room, spa jets not working, fridge in cabin did not have a rail on the door to hold bottles in the door. However overall, our stay was great, close to soverign hill (we were able to walk over)

I stayed here with my two children aged 5 and 10. We stayed in a one bedroom miners cabin which was ample for our needs. The cabin is small but has been designed to maximise space and usage. The beds were comfortable, the heating worked well, the kitchen was well equipped and the shower was excellent. The kitchen had a stove, microwave, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, cutlery etc. There were enough power points and storage areas. The grounds are clean and well maintained. My kids enjoyed the facilities on offer even though it rained for the duration of our stay. The playground does not have swings, but has everything else you would expect - slides, monkey bars, climbing frames etc. There is an indoor play area for younger children and a games room for older children. The games room had 3 screens set up with different games - minecraft, a lego game and something else. There was a larger screen with elevated seating for watching movies. The pool has a splash area for younger children. Pool depths were clearing marked on the pavers. The shallow end is 0.9m and the deep end 1.8m. There is a pedal cart available for hire. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They offered a lot of suggestions to keep the kids busy in wet weather. This park is well located and is walking distance from Sovereign Hill. There is so much on offer both at this holiday park and in the surrounding area. It is the perfect location for a family holiday. My kids are eager to stay again!

Nicely equipped cabins in a very quiet park which is well away from busy roads.Good facilities in the park. Very close to Sovereign Hill and the Eureka Centre.

Great spot for a family visiting Sovereign Hill to stay. We walked there easily with 2 kids. Great amenities for families.

Would recommend to family abd friends. So mu h for the kids to do.

Great cabin, great park! Loved that we could park our special car by the cabin and it was safe while we walked to dinner nearby, walked to Sovereign Hill for both the night show, and then the next day also. With very tired legs at the end at the day, the spa was amazing and just what was needed.

The staff at the property were very welcoming when we got there and it made a great first impression when we arrived to check-in. We stayed in one of the deluxe studios and we were very impressed by the facilities and the overall cleanliness of the place. There’s also lots of activities for kids there. We will definitely be staying here again.

The facilities are great for families. There is an outdoor pool and an indoor spa/pool for an additional fee. There are options for wet weather, including the games room and indoor spa, a playground for kids up to 5 years old. It’s within walking distance to sovereign hill and the red lion bistro. The 3 bedroom villa was spacious and common areas were clean. The toilet was clean, but shower in need of a deep clean to remove mould and grime. Overall very happy with the stay and will be back again.

Good quiet location very neat tidy and clean. Friendly staff

Very clean and comfortable

Opening the cabin door, the overwhelming odour of a cloying, sweet cleansing product was all I noticed. I went to sit on the bed and it ran away from me....I nearly fell. The castors could not be locked. There was barely room on the wall side of the bed to get into it, let alone place my CPAP machine. The bathroom was so small one had to sidle around the corner of the vanity, as the toilet was behind the door so it wouldn't open further. The table was wonky, which we discovered after putting drinks on it that spilt...my husband had to get a screwdriver from the car to tighten it up so it was usable. Asking for help from staff didn't elicit much, though they were pleasant about it! One has to walk back there as there was no other direct way to communicate. I spent most of the night pacing or playing games on my tablet with a wet washer over my face, as I couldn't breathe let alone sleep. The smell didn't go away despite airing the cabin. Wifi didn't work. Cloth washers under the castors was the only solution to the bed's running around. The smell is an odour blocker that they are obliged to use apparently as an NRMA park...yet when we stayed in similar in Dubbo a few nights before, there was no such problem. We paid for 2 nights and stayed for one, as I needed sleep and the smell did not dissipate at all. Since our leaving early was solely due to problems caused by management, I expected an offer of at least some refund. No such thing was offered. Very very unhappy.

Beautiful park! Our accomodation was super modern and very clean. Loved the location will definately be back again

Very clean park and cabin. Close to Sovereign Hill, bakery, eateries and hotel. All walking distance.

Staff are amazing! Cabin was clean & had everything we needed. Have rebooked for the same time next year.

The park is conveniently located and seems good for families, we were staying as a couple in a new cabin, not standalone so noise leaks between cabins. The cabins as stated are new and are for couples/adult only, there is a bed, small kitchen area with fridge and microwave and a reasonably spacious bathroom. The cabins also have a shared verandah. In our cabin the bathroom door would not close without a bit of force as the door had settled since build and dragged on the floor. Also in an attempt to keep the cold out there is little ventilation and as such there is a huge amount of condensation in the room in the morning or anytime the heating is run, so much so that puddles were forming on the windowsill above the bed. Finally the front of the cabin has blinds which unfortunately have about an inch gap between them and aren't flush with the window so there's a lot of light leakage through the night, if the neighbour has their outside light on as well as limiting the privacy through the day. None of these are big fixes but can be big problems, hopefully they are dealt with down the track

No green space, no internet, nice bed. A one and done

Nice cabin, though just too small. Also walls are paper thin!

Very comfortable, clean. The only concern for me was the lack of privacy due to blinds not covering the windows. Really needs heavy curtains at the doors and above the bed. Too light for sleeping well.

Very well presented although wi-fi connection was not working

It is ideal for those on holiday and kids - not those travelling for work. It is advertised as having WiFi- I work remotely and specifically booked as it stated it had WiFi - so it came as a shock when I asked for the Wifi password when I arrived to be told that the WiFi was virtually non existent. (and it wasn't available as I tried with the password I was given) This meant I had booked for a service they did not offer. As I was obviously not going to be refunded I was forced to go out doing the day to find locations with Free Wifi so I could work , I was also forced to cancel meetings on line as I had no private area to do meetings.

Good location and enough kitchen items to cook at the cabin. Pretty uncomfortable bed, and inconsistent heater made it slightly less comfortable than ideal. Unsure if we would stay again.

A shame a table could not be provided. It would have made eating a meal much easier for my elderly mother, instead of having to eat it on her lap. Thin walls, heard the neighbour snoring through the night. And the place was very cold, yes, it was a cold night but electric blankets would have helped.

Couldn't get wifi at property

We booked in for a two night stay. Road in front of cabin blocked for tree cutting, no notice provided to guests. Unable to park in our cabin driveway with a toddler and had to carry all our belongings in. Constant noise from chainsaws all afternoon. And was told ‘sorry for inconvenience’. Unable to have a toddler nap due to this. Had to leave the park and unable to relax. At time of designating cabins, if staff knew of the tree cutting and seen we had a child under 2 would have made sense to provide a cabin as far as possible? Really disappointing as the only whole day we were there we experienced this.

All the staff were fantastic very helpful.everyone was pleasent in the park.everything we wanted to go to was very close.the room was great value.parking was easy

Clean and tidy Quiet and easy to find. Booking process was easy and staff very attentive and friendly.

We had excellent service and was exactly what we were after. Thank you team!

Really helpful staff

Staff are amazing! Cabin was clean & had everything we needed. Have rebooked for the same time next year.

Had a compressor running on and off during the night and the tree at the side of the unit constantly banging against the unit.Got limited sleep told staff about the compressor running on and of during the night they weren't interested. No opportunity to watch sport on Saturday no foxtell or Kayo. Wont be coming back

Great park to spend three nights. Cabin could do with some TLC and items were reported to staff. Bed was comfy and towels, white and fluffy. Cabin fully stocked with all items needed for your stay excluding food, of course. Walking distance to Sovereign Hill.

The main road is loud if you are on the right side of the park.

Such a lovely park with great options to dine out and lovely walking tracks.

Very close to Sovereign Hill.

Great place to stay and very friendly and helpful staff. Very hidden but excellent location

Great spot for a family visiting Sovereign Hill to stay. We walked there easily with 2 kids. Great amenities for families.

Very clean park and cabin. Close to Sovereign Hill, bakery, eateries and hotel. All walking distance.

Suited our needs perfectly. Just big enough for 2 people but bed comfortable and had a small kitchenette with microwave and crockery etc. Could walk to Soverign Hill as well a some restaurants and pizza places which was convenient. Price was great but need to remember it is caravan park accomodation so could hear other people in the adjoining rooms but did not dusrupt to badly. Overall very good for the price you pay. Would stay again.

The facilities are great for families. There is an outdoor pool and an indoor spa/pool for an additional fee.
