Hotels near Victoria Dam in Warrenheip

We were pleasantly surprised at how big the accommodation was. A little dated but clean and tidy and all the amenities you needed. In the one bedroom apartment there was a dryer, dishwasher, and washing machine as well as microwave and stove. The fridge was a good size for a family. The beds were comfortable. Communication was excellent and prompt. We had a complimentary breaky provided which was left in our room in a lovely little basket. Pool to amuse the kids and right next door to the mini golf! Will definitely stay again.

On the main road into the city from Geelong, 2 min walk to Coles and about 5 min drive into the city. Room was clean and good size with comfy chairs and small table for dining or work. Had Austar which was nice but really hard to figure out due to 3 different remotes, the main remote being in Chinese so that kinda made simply watching free to air a real drama.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with a queen and single bed provided it is a good set up for a family. We stayed one night after spending the day at Sovereign Hill. Also has a small indoor heated pool, perfect for my son to swim around in. Owners were welcoming, which topped off an enjoyable stay in Ballarat. The following day we spent some time around the Lake and checked out the paddle boats and look out at the top of Mount Buninyong, which was another highlight for my son.

Ballarat flashed from Melbourne, the hotel is one step away from the train station and conveniently located. The sound of the train can be heard, and the hotel has earplugs at the bedside. But the staff is seriously insufficient on public holidays, and the front desk +housekeeping seems to be one person. Booked a room rate with breakfast, checkin was told that there was no breakfast, contacted Trip.com customer service to solve it

Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

My sister and I enjoyed a visit to Ballarat and Castlemaine staying at the Goldfields both nights. It was finally great to get out of Melbourne after our never ending lockdown. The staff (COVID ‘tester’ and Reception) were very genuine in their welcome and made us feel right at home. The double room was fantastic with a great bathroom. The view of the golf course was exceptional. We enjoyed our travels during the two days and had a lovely meal one night in the restaurant. Breakfast both mornings was really good. The resort is wonderful and the staff amazing. Well done!!

The Holiday Park Hotel in the Big 4 Balarit gold mining area is located near the gold mining town tour area. The hotel garden is large and the facilities are relatively complete. The room was quite new and the bed was big and comfortable. It felt cold at night and the air conditioner was turned on.

Stayed in a different motel to last month as we were not overly impressed with our other motel. Well I am so glad that we chose Victoriana to stay at. On arrival i press the button to check in to be informed that my room is already open & set to temperature. Management had sent me a message to tell me, but while driving I failed to notice it. Walked into the room & could immediately relax after travelling for 2 hours. Now that is service! Our room had a spa which was a godsend given my sore back from hiking on uneven ground, gold detecting & driving on rough tracks. I not only could relax in the spa, but sleep quality was exceptional. Road noise is very distant & because only 2 rooms adjoin, there is very little noise from other patrons. Our room was cleaned every day, with fresh rubbish bags & tea bags. Most impressed with Victoriana & would definitely stay here again. 5 star service, well done!

So many positive things to say about Sovereign Park but the 2 memorable standouts which will have us returning would have to be, the SERVICE and INDOOR HEATED POOL & SPA! The booking & check-in process were both so easy. Jen served us throughout our stay, she was immediately warm and welcoming. After checking out and having mentioned we were going to explore the Wildlife Park nearby, we had a call from Jen about some precious plush toys our daughter had left behind. She knew how important it was to get it back to us so she wasted no time in contacting us before we made our way back home. The family room was comfy & cosy, clean and included all the amenities needed. The kids had the best time in the pool, spa & sauna. Mummy even got some time to spend in the gym, nothing flashy but complete & practical. Thanks so much & keep up the great service. Location: Under 10 mins to Kryal Castle 4 mins to Ballarat Wildlife Park 2 mins to Coles/Baker's Delight 0 mins to Red Lion Hotel with kids playground (adjacent to Sovereign Park reception)
