Review:
The venue of our first holiday in the van, and we didn’t bring the little ones to allow us to find out the nuances of ‘vanning without the added complications and stresses.
As a whole, it’s a pretty nice little park with great staff and reasonable facilities. The indoor heated pool and spas were awesome given the freezing Ballarat temps.
The toilet and shower facilities were a little dated but more than serviceable. Clean and hygienic, not issues here I can assure you. Didn’t utilise the laundry or family facilities but they looked pretty good. Had a large rec room and a gym as well... but really... who works out on holiday?? A jumping pillow as well as a huge indoor sandpit (the old pool) would keep the kids entertained.
Overall, I’d recommend the place, particularly for a stop over. For an extended stay, it’s a little out of the way but without the feel of isolation due to the highway 100km zone out the front.

Was thinking of going there for xmas

Hopefully the review helped mate. I've heard that in the summer the swamp over the back fence can be a source of some sizeable mozzies which might be something to consider. Would be nice and mild in Xmas though and lots of fun things for the kids.

Stayed last weekend.. Toilets been updated recently so really nice and clean.
The pool is fantastic spent 10 hours in there over 2 days.. Watching TV on the big screen.
Indoor sandpit and games room.
Stayed up the back with the tenters.. by the time we got up and going they where all gone did not hear them leave :)

Woolworths opened basically across the road. Yes at the end of the world Ballarat wise although ok by us.
Booked for 17 days in Jan for a commute holiday. Sarah will work a few late early's and I take a few days off and work from Van.
