We were driving from Adelaide to Melbourne & decided to break the journey & stay overnight in Ballarat. After looking on Trip Advisor & Last Minute.com, a cabin seemed better value & convenience than a motel for us. We arranged a late arrival & booked a small cabin. It was perfect for our needs- clean, heater on when we arrived,... More

Family friendly park with endless entertainment for the kids. The staff are very helpful and friendly and close to everything. Walking distance to Soveriegn Hill, just across the road .I recommend staying at Welcome Stranger Holiday Park to all.

A lovley clean and tidy park.Friendly staff who were helpful and informative.Facilities were in excellent condition and kept clean. Grassed areas were tidy and trees provided great shade. It was easy to locate and moving the caravan into position was easy. Although we did not travel with children I was impressed with the playground facilities available for families.

We stayed at Welcome Stranger for 3 Nights over Easter. The facilities were lovely, clean and although the park was totally booked out, it didn't feel crowded. The kids activities including a visit from the Easter bunny kept everyone very happy.

My sister-in-law booked a power site camp over the beer festival weekend. We enjoyed our staying very much, specially her kids. The park is in such a great location; right next to Sovereign Hill and not far from town centre. I agreed with everyone who posted/mentioned on this forum how great facilities (kitchen, shower block, laundry and toilets), how clean... More

My family and I enjoyed a very pleasant stay here. We were impressed by the clean bathrooms and surrounds. Our young children enjoyed the playground, esp flying fox, tennis courts and mini golf which is all included in the rates. The pool was just the right size, a little cool but in warm weather very refreshing. The park is close... More

Rented a 7 bed ensuite cabin for two days so my Melbourne and Canadian family could visit Sovereign Hill. Location is a bit out of town but good for what we were doing. The cabin was great. All cooking facilities were very good, lots of space and very clean. The park is well maintained, including the camping facilities - toilet... More
