Heavy tourist area, parking is atrocious on the weekends but we went to see friends living there and they said it is much better during the week. Shops sell out of food often on weekends we were told. The lake was beautiful and the air smelled like spring, although there is many wattle trees if you have allergies. Many interesting shops and art to see in town. Chocolate factory is great and recommend having a hot chocolate.

Enjoy walking through the stunning autumn colours in your winter coat as you soak in the natural beauty all around. The local eateries are a short drive from local accommodation and are popular with both locals and tourists alike. It's the perfect weekend or week long getaway destination. I'll be back!

Plenty of day trips can be made from Seymour in various directions; lots of parks/playgrounds for children, walking tracks along the Goulburn River, wineries nearby, lots of cafes and places to eat, as well as takeaway and bakeries. Found it to be very relaxing and peaceful place to stay.

Beautiful big house room and en-suite so spacious . Excellent products in bathroom. Coffee tea milk provided. Hosts very welcoming and made sure our stay was peaceful. Close to go out to dine etc location excellent. Price was perfect what else can I say. Visiting Kilmore don’t go pass this fabulous accommodation. We went to Mac’s Irish Pub for dinner this too was so good. Fabulous staff great menu food was of very high standard as was the wine.

The resort was clean and tidy, although could use with some updating, it felt a little tired. The spa in the room was by far the highlight, the view looking out the window was peaceful. We were excited to go to the pool and spa area as it looked so good on the website, but we were disappointed when we got there that the spa had been drained and was not in use. We already knew that the day spa area itself was closed for renovations so this just added to the disappointment, and I'm not sure if this was all factored into the cost or not as the room rate was ok but could have been less considering lots of facilities were not in use. Also it seemed odd that the pool area closes at 5pm when the staff go home, bit of a rush to have a swim as check in is 3pm. The meal at the restaurant was delicious but very expensive, I got the steak which was an extra $10 and then sides another additional cost, I felt the steak was overpriced once you added sides. The entrée lettuce gems were divine, and we thought the rolls with entrée would have been a nice local sour dough or similar, but they were just the regular oval shaped rolls that we get at the local supermarket at home. The wait staff at the restaurant were fantastic and very welcoming and friendly. I would suggest getting an upper floor room as you can hear the spa above when you are in a ground floor room, it wasn't a huge deal but just a tip for those who are unsure whether to pay the extra cost, I think it would be worth it and I hope we return sometime in the future and we will do the same. The area is gorgeous, so many great little stops along the way from Ballarat, and Woodend is a cute little town. As the restaurant at the resort wasn't serving breakfast, we went into town to Paysanne cafe and give it 5 stars.

Kyneton has a lot to offer. Good restaurants, excellent museum, proximity to other places of interest, many good coffee shops, fabulous pies and delicious food at Piper Street Food Co. East access from Melbourne.

The whole area is beautiful , a happy place, all sports for you there, big tennis courts, indoor swimming pool and other things maybe sauna we did'nt check out , beautiful building through out impressive and clean as. there is an 18 hole golf course and all that goes with that pro shop etc. they have a lovely restaurant and cafe and a bar, kids play stuff outside. Wallan & Kilmore close . Kilmore being the oldest inland town in Vic, lots of old historic buildings, cafes that are very cool very good coffee, nice to drive around, old churches and schools hills and bush, Monument Hill Reserve a great view of the district.

Its a small town that offers delicious Pub meals . We ate at The American , a hotel with a fantastic bistro. Its close to Daylesford, close to Clunes and even Ballarat. We explored Hanging Rock at Woodend, the Sunday market and the Mill markets in Daylesford. Trentham Falls are well worth a visit

Lancefield is a little rural town in the Macedon Ranges. It is steeped in history. Lots of other interesting small towns nearby. Lovely friendly people. We stayed at Lancefield Lodge for 5 nights, and loved it so much, we went back for another 2 nights. We'll definitely go there again.

A great place to stay for a visit to the Victorian goldfields area; easy access to all towns in the area and a pleasant town. Some very good dining venues with reasonable prices and some old world charm.
