The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Pool Area

I had a wonderful time with my kids at the expansive pool area. The pool was large enough for some decent laps and also featured a separate shallow area perfect for my little ones. We also enjoyed the sauna, which was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, just a fantastic place to relax and play!

Great Onsite Dining

Dining at the attached Red Lion restaurant was a good experience! We enjoyed our meals so much that we chose to dine there for both dinner and breakfast during our stay. The menu offered a great selection, and the kids even loved the family-friendly options available. Definitely a big bonus for our stay!

This hotel has a great location, making it easy to access meals and amenities nearby. The room was comfortable and warm, which was perfect for the cold winter nights in Ballarat. However, noise from the room above us was quite bothersome, impacting our sleep. While the room was clean and tidy, the mattress could definitely use some improvement. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but the noise issues definitely need addressing.
