It was nice and comfortable for our one nice stay. It was also nice to have our pet stay with us.

The property has many thoughtful additions to make your stay easy while also being very comfy and charming. We had our greyhound Hailey with us and the enclosed yard was really helpful. She loved it. The park across the road is great and forest behind gave us lots of walks close by. We went in winter and it was toasty warm inside. Really pleased. My only disappointment was the dogs next door barking and crying. They seem to be kept outside all the time and bark at anything passing. The caged fellow cries as he is locked in a pen at the back. This is nothing to do with the host of Sparkling Springs, but was not very pleasant. Still the stay was really enjoyable and we will return!

This property is a hidden gem. Situated next to a lake with walking tracks it is quiet with off street parking. Comfortable bedding with ample extra bedding for warmth & great heating for cold nights. A

This is our second stay at Sparkling Cabin Springs and we came back for the winter experience. It is such a cute little cottage and has everything you need for a short stay…and positioned opposite the lake with walking tracks for my little dog, which made the holiday even better. We will return! 🙂

Calm welcoming space. The cabin is set on a little slope overlooking a beautiful parkland with a natural lake and walking track and a 5 minute walk to the centre of town.
Cabin is very well appointed, clean and cosy.
All cooking facilities are there. Lovely fenced area for our pet to explore.
Love this place.

Property is in a fantastic location near the heart of Creswick. The cabin was well appointed, cosy and comfortable. There were many thoughtful additions to help make our stay more comfortable, like rugs, magazines, quirky decor to name a few.
Our little dog thoroughly enjoyed the enclosed outdoor area as did we.
We loved our stay here.

The house was in a great location overlooking the local park and swimming hole. The accommodation was clean and tidy and had all of the facilities we needed.
The hot waters flow was a little slow but still allowed us to do everything needed like wash dishes and shower.
Great place to stay.

Very epic place i did big super backflip off of diving board and almost got eaten by a dirt shark (watch out for dirt sharks in the lake) house was a little small but lake is best part did I mention about the dirt sharks in the lake?

We loved the little cabin and its 60s decor - perfect! Very peaceful and nice walks around the lake. Ian was great to deal with and super quick to answer a questions - thanks! The dogs enjoyed their stay too and had plenty of room to explore and sniff. A very enjoyable stay - thank you!

We had a lovely stay in this little gem of a cottage. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we couldn’t explore around the lake but we will be back for another visit.
4.8
Great little cottage in Creswick! Close to all amenities and in a lovely quiet location. Will definitely stay again!
4.8
Cosy, clean, comfortable with everything you need. Quirky retro décor. Close enough to walk to town centre but also situated in a quiet, peaceful, private location.
Lots to explore around Creswick, heaps of walking tracks. Plenty of easy daytrips to enjoy or just chill on the wonderful balcony overlooking the lake.
Absolutely great value!! (cheaper than a cabin at the local caravan park with a lot more to offer).
Ian is just a phone call away if you need anything.
Thank you, Ian, for providing me with some well needed respite from the stresses of Melbourne. I am already planning my next visit.

Absolutely amazing

Very enjoyable stay in a cozy house in Creswick. A great place for a weekend away with my husband and I and our small dog. House was very neat and tidy with everything we needed and the outside fully fenced area with a deck was great to sit on and relax and enjoy a coffee or a drink. Close to the Main Street and across the road from the lake. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely little cabin in a beautiful spot by the lake.

It was an excellent holiday place to stay we enjoyed walks around Sr George's Lake many times. what a sensory experience.When we find a holiday home with various walking tracks I believe we must not miss it as this holiday gave us lots of activities to do. Enjoyed walking along the river bank near Ballarat. Ballarat has Unique ancient buildings shows it's rich Australian culture.900 mts from this place there is a bakery has the best five star food.we will visit again.Clunes close to this place first gold is found.It's nice to get away from busy lifestyle.

The place is actually smaller than it looks in the listing. Comfy beds and couch. It worked for a quick getaway, but I wouldn't want an extended stay. It's close to all amenities, so that's a plus.
4.8
Short weekend stay was great, small cosy and just enough for what we needed. The only downfall was the quality of the mattresses, luckily we brought our own gear. Awsome little nook of a place
4.8
Perfect

Our stay was fantastic, so much so that we wished we had extended our stay by another 3 nights instead of moving back into Ballarat. Ian the owner was a brilliant host and if the opportunity ever arises again, "We'll be back".
Cheers

We could not be happier with our stay at this property with our 4 1/2 year old son and 3 dogs. It exceeded our expectations and we would definitely want to stay here again if/ when we return to the area. Would highly recommend.
