Cool Creswick
The property was exactly as listed - clean & cosy. However, I hadn't realised how close the property was to the lake! It was wonderful to look out and see the water. I was also able to bring my little dog, who loved running around the fenced in front yard. Highly recommend for a quick getaway.

A Great Property
My wife and I recently stayed at this property and the first thing that we noticed on arrival was the cleanliness of the cottage and gardens. The property is well fenced and very dog friendly. Our fur baby had a great time exploring. The location is great, everything was provided (even breakfast) and Ian was an excellent host. It is located only about 20 mins from Daylesford in one direct and about the same in the Ballarat direction making it a good base. Another bonus for us was that there was an EV Electric charging station only 2 mins from the cottage. We would definitely stay there again.

The "Cabin' was a compact and cosy property with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Ian was very responsive with information on how to access the property, making sure there was heating and light on for our arrival. This was much appreciated after a long drive into cold, evening temperatures. The house is within a short walk of local shops and restaurants, with a great view of the lake from the outdoor area. We enjoyed our short stay and would happily recommend the property to others.

Great cosy cabin
We stayed here during one of the coldest, stormiest weekends in Victoria and the cabin was so cosy and warm. The cabin had everything we needed, was so clean and well presented. The lake and park across the road is perfect. Our puppy Harry enjoyed the daily walks, around the lake, as did we.

Thoughtful and beautiful
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!

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! 🙂
