The Fairway Suite room was spacious, well laid out and had a view I was not expecting in that part of the world - endless forest stretching out to distant mountains. It was superb. The birdlife was spectacular. The snack bar served fresh, hot, delicious meals and the staff were friendly and overall gave the message that "nothing was too much trouble". There were plenty of people with families and atmosphere generated by clientele was lovely too. Our 4 year old grandson andored both inner and outer playgrounds.

The breakfast was very good with lots of choice and regular top ups but given it is self-serve from bain-maries I thought it was a bit pricey given the queues and the inevitable rubberieness of the bacon. I eat a hearty breakfast but the other 2 adults I was travelling with are nibblers that early in the morning - and there was no choice to select a continental option for a price reflecting their morning appetite. Also, guests should be issued with those rubberised socks for use in the showers - they are incredibly slippery!

Firstly as we arrived the place looked inviting clean and Morden, very welcoming feel to it. Then, the easy drop-off zone made it super easy to check in and drop our bags before finding a car park (there's plenty to choose from). The reception staff were super friendly and really helpful. Then the room was huge ! The bed was so comfortable! The jacuzzi bath was a nice surprise, and the generous size of the room made us feel like this is exactly what we needed and already thinking wed be back another time in the near future. Also, the complimentary chocolates and choice of coffee in the room was an extra we loved

The TV has only paid films , so if you were to stay here for a few nights it could add up to a lot of extra costs.

Loved the property , Great room and bed!! 3 Founders restaurant staff were hopeless, I work in the trade and from the minute we arrived there was no booking for us although when we checked in we made a reservation, The guy at front entry to restaurant was fairly short attitude wise he reluctantly sat us down eventually even though half the restaurant was empty on Sunday night , we waited for someone to serve us but it never happened, not even for drinks even after we tried eye balling the waiters, So after 15 mins we went up stairs to the friendly team and had a fantastic dinner and a bunch of cocktails with plenty of banter with the awesome staff up there about how they serve vs downstairs.

The staff delivered on purpose requests and made it a personable experience catering to my partners 32nd birthday. He LOVED the stay in all areas from facilities to comfort to cleanliness. Truly a special treat in the heart of ballarat. Wish we could’ve stayed for the whole week.

Everything amazing but in 2024 the tv should come with access to netflix, disney plus and stan. The movies were all requesting us to pay $10 to watch. My partner and I stay at places all the time and this has been the only hotel over the past 8 years that did not offer access to streaming apps. Was truly the only let down.

Really loved the relaxed vibe at the resort. The food at the Founders restaurant was really beautiful. We loved the great selection and quality of the food and service was fabulous. The Springs bar was a favorite place to have a drink before dinner or a meal and we enjoyed the selection of foods and wines. The staff were amazing - really knew their wines from the local area and made great recommendations from the menus both at the Springs bar and Founders restaurant.

The buffet breakfast was lovely if you are a big eater, it represents good value. If you'd just like a coffee and toast or more continental style breakfast, there was not that option unfortunately. If this was available for room service that would be even better as we had a lovely balcony and breakfast, there would have been great. The area is quite noisy in Founders with a lot of people. We thought the Springs bar could have had some smaller, Tapas style snacks as the meals were more restaurant size.

The breakfast was incredible all the trimmings, the location was perfect, we loved all the activities close by as well, the staff were all lovely and really kind.

We wish the pool was warmer as part of the reason for the trip was for me to spend time in the pool each day being heavily pregnant it was a physio suggestion and the water was quite cold, I understand because it's an outside pool and not summer but perhaps an indoor pool or even turn the heating up in the colder months so guests can still enjoy it? A few other guests mentioned this to us aswell. Lastly would have been nice if room service could have been an option on request rather than going down and carrying it up but but everything else was perfect! We were amazed and thrilled with the games room!

I loved the friendly atmosphere when I arrived with my daughter for a weekend getaway to celebrate mother's Day . We were given a room upgrade for free which meant my daughter and I had a king size bed each , and the spa which was definately a highlight ofter a long week of work and travelling the rooms and amenities were clean the grounds and facilities were wonderful we spent time admiring the kangaroos and bunnies on our walk and later from the balcony in our room , we had an amazing dinner in the restaurant and very well priced , they are very generous with wonderful smelling shampoo and conditioner , ample towels and a pod coffee machine it was the best mothersday I have had in a long time , I highly recommend staying here .

The only thing I could say was having to pay $10 to rent a movie on the tv other than that I am absolutely happy with everything .

Most staff except for the man on check out, wasn't interested at all

Just the parking there isn't great

It’s beautiful setting on the golf course with the kangaroos at night- so special! The food at the restaurants was lovely. Shout out to Patrick the waiter for looking after my child when she refused to eat what was in the menu. Buffet breakfast 10 out of 10. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional . The facilities were top-notch. Really comfortable room ,very spacious and quiet. And myself and my seven year-old loved it. We will definitely be back, probably sooner rather than later

Nothing it was amazing

The resort has so many wonderful inclusions for kids including a pool, play room, outdoor playground and even wildlife such as kangaroos and rabbits that you can see walk right past you!

There were no plates, bowls, forks or knives in the kitchenette. A mini fridge, sink, kettle, coffee machine, cups and two small spoons were all the inclusions here. Unfortunately this was a bit challenging with children and their snacks. At our time of stay there was also no in room dining.
