RACV Goldfields Resort - Creswick, Victoria

Erica S.

This is a really lovely looking property, and the rooms are lovely. We got the entry level resort room, and it was quite big to be honest and very good value for the price we paid (we are auto-club members). The bathroom was good and the shower really lovely. However, the walls are either paper thin, or we were just unlucky with our Neighbour's, we could hear their television easily in our room, so much so we had to raise the volume on ours. Also, there was a person in the hallway early one morning, coughing and coughing and it was loud enough to wake me. However, even though we faced the road (and it was a main arterial road) we never heard the traffic.

Next, we happened to turn up the two nights that the Springs Bar & Terrace was closed for a lighting refit - bad luck for us I know. But we were simply told that we had until 5pm to get food at the pro-shop or we could go the main restaurant (which was much more expensive). There was a lovely area outside the proshop/cafe terrace that you could sit -but it closed at 5pm. So, no terrace alfresco eating for us.

I get that refits that need to be done, but I just feel that the option of the proshop cafe/terrace should have been open at least until 6pm to eat. I think they lost a lot of sales those nights as I watched couple after couple get into their cars and go elsewhere for dinner after 5pm, including us.

The resort is a closer to Creswick than Ballarat so you will need to drive to anything that you want to see. But in saying that the grounds were lovely and we really enjoyed walking them the two nights we stayed.

We are RACV members and enjoyed a special deal. But whether or not you can organise such a thing, the stay is excellent value. The facilities are splendid - clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Dinner was really good, and breakfast high quality and plentiful. The location is lovely - it helps that most rooms have a view of the hills and/or the golf course - and close to Ballarat. We drove in on each day to enjoy the Ballarat Foto Biennale. We loved the various exhibitions and so the whole break (Sunday, Monday and into Tuesday) was a huge success.

Stayed here for a night. The room was on the second floor. Large spacious and a great balcony accessible fromt the living area and bedroom.

2 person spa was great to have at the end of day. The roof above the bedroom door leading to the balcony had water damage probably front the room above , staff were notified.

Balcony looks out over the course and the bush in the distance.
3 founders for dinner was great , 2 things the bread loaf is more a roll and at $ 12 I though was a bit pricey and the barramundi curry would've been nice if it was a bowl rather than a small side bowl of the curry and the fillet and rice separate.

Breakfast at 3 foinders also a decent variety of food ,can be quite cramped with people in that area. That's it .

Great location, easy access to cresick and a easy drive to Ballarat. Would stay again just not over school holidays
All the staff were very helpful and pleasant to talk to.

This resort has become a favourite for us. We have stayed 5 or 6 times. We especially enjoy it mid week when it's quiet but this time stayed on the weekend when the hotel was fully booked. The staff were very accommodating in giving us a room in a quieter part of the building. Really happy they now have casting available on the TV in the room. Also happy that the spa was a bit warmer on this visit especially as it was freezing outside! Buffet breakfast is nice and dinner in the restaurant and bar was of a high quality.

Loved our two night stay at RACV Goldfields. Very happy with accommodation and value for money package. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dinner was delicious and breakfast buffet had everything you could possibly wish for. The area itself has lots to offer and although weather wasn't the best we managed to get out and about to see and do what we wanted.

This was a family trip for my daughter's 9th birthday and the team were quite exceptional from checkin, at the restaurant and throughout the entire stay. It is clear the staff are genuine about doing their best to provide a great customer experience. Well done and keep up the great work! On a side note, would be great to get more games in the games room, as it has been the same for awhile. Perhaps a bigger game room too? 🙂

We chose goldfields for location to a function we attending nearby. The rooms were excellent with all amenities needed. A place to get ready and kid friendly areas to keep the children occupied. Breakfast had excellent choices to suit everyone’s desire.
