I will highly recommend this Big4 Windmill holiday park.
Perfect for family leisure time. So many activities and things to do with in the park.
This park is very well maintain and provides free Pancake Breakfast and coffee to all the Guest on Saturday. You will really love to come again with your family. Jackie and other staff provided excellent customer service.
Exceeded my expectations from other Big4 Park.

Booked in to a cabin for 2 people and feel absolutely ripped off after paying $166.00 for one nights accommodation. The old and dated bathroom was so tiny that you literally couldn’t dry yourself. The bathroom was the width of the shower of around 90cm and the length of the bathroom was no more than 2 meters. The toilet was also squashed in with the bathroom basin. If you are a bigger person good luck trying to fit in and use this toilet.
The room itself was old and dated.
My husband and I travel a lot and have stayed in plenty of places and this is by far the worst.
Camping would be okay but that is all.
This cabin is worth no more than $80 a night.
Our money was taken from us off our credit card before arrival so we put up with it as it was only one night.
All we can say about this cabin is Yuk !!
And you should be ashamed at yourself for charging us this outrageous price for what you gave us...

We are disappointed to read your review 4mrsc. If we had known how dissatisfied you were with your Boronia studio, we would have recommended another cabin and relocated you immediately. The cabin you stayed in is one of our smaller studio type options. It does include a brand new king bed, but we offer eight different types of cabins ranging from entry-level to luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom villas. We hope you will consider staying with us another time in beautiful Ballarat and suggest that one of our more spacious cabins could suit you better.

We took our granddaughter away camping for 1st time to Windmill Holiday Park.The pool was cool enough to be refreshing on a 45 degree day. The large functional and very clean and inviting recreation room with lounge suite and tables and tv is adjacent to a communal kitchen, complete with microwave, fridge,toaster and kettle . The playground had interactive games for older kids and was close to the rec room. Free pancakes on Saturday morning was a treat. My granddaughter loved feding the chooks.

Wow! Thanks so much for the great feedback and review 187alano. It sounds like you and your granddaughter enjoyed a great holiday with us at The Windmill and took advantage of our facilities and activities. Our indoor pool has been brilliant for guests rain, hail or 45 degrees! Guests appreciate that it's protected from the harsh elements so you can enjoy a swim anytime. Our chooks are certainly a novelty. We're not aware of any other parks around the area that offer onsite chicken feeding. Great fun for kids and adults alike. We hope to welcome you back another time.

This is our third time at Windmill Caravan Park Ballarat and it never disappoints. As Grandparents bringing up 4 of our Grandchildren caravan parks have proven to be a real blessing. Here, the children are kept happy and busy with the wonderful 25 metre indoor pool, jumping pillow, playground, tennis court, basketball court, chooks to feed and plenty of room for scooters. The amenities are top notch and immaculately cared for. We will keep returning.

We stay in our own caravan on a powered site. The facilities in this caravan park are fantastic. I have never been to a park that has heated amenities. Amenities were always clean and the best showers. Plenty for the kids to do if you have them. The pool and spa are clean and great. Staff was more than helpful. They are removing some of the older cabins and replacing them.
