The winter experience
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! 🙂

Goldfields getaway
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.
