Ballarat Suites
The weather was horribly cold but it was okay! Because the room has air condition and electric blanket. Also, there was a heater in the bathroom. The room was clean and spacious. I loved this place. If I'm back to Ballarat, I will definitely come back here.

NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park
Very comfortable, clean. The only concern for me was the lack of privacy due to blinds not covering the windows. Really needs heavy curtains at the doors and above the bed. Too light for sleeping well.
