We always have the most wonderful time when staying in Creswick, it really has become our little familys holiday destination and we love MTB riding. Our 2 jack russell live coming and so many places for them to explore. The house is great and Ian is so easy to deal with. Will definitely be back for our fourth time.

Pet friendly, close to town, walking paths, john Curtin Aged Care etc. Prrfect property for a summer stay and eating out. I found it disappointing that the refrigerator was smaller than needed ie we brought food for our 5 night stay and there wasn"t a washing machine as we needed to do a load due to weather. The double bed was found to be extremely hard although we dod not have an issue with the bunk beds.

Creswick

A quaint little cottage overlooking a great location, a little smaller than we are used to, but manageable. We saw the photos of the front door with the step steps, but we assumed that there would be a back door entrance, but unfortunately not, so a struggle getting our luggage and a slightly disabled person up and down the stairs. But overall it was good.

Sparkling Cabin Springs

It was a lovely place to stay. The lake was just over the road, it had lots of walking trails for your dog and yourself. Lots of close by towns including Ballarat. Lake Daylesford was a lovely place to visit also Lambley Nursery was nice to look through, we had a great time and loved the accomodation. I don’t recommend buying a plain hamburger from the hamburger shop near the round about, we ordered 2 plain burgers and that’s what we got a burger bun with a meat patty a few bits of lettuce and sauce, in NSW a plain burger has meat onion tomato lettuce beetroot and sauce, big difference, pubs served good meals, coffee shop over from the information centre made good coffee.

Love this place

2nd visit, both times for Ballarat marathon. In our party - 3 people and 1 dog; and it works so well! Close to Ballarat, but Creswick itself has so much to offer. Beds are comfy, kitchen is well stocked, shower is hot, garden is safe for furry friend and great for people too. Quiet, great view. Ian was so kind in extending our checkout today so that our runner could have a shower to warm up after his run. Can’t praise it highly enough. Already planning our next visit.
