Incredible value for money, to have continental breakfast and castle access included for our stay was amazing, made for a great day after a long drive and an excellent chance for our toddler to enjoy the attraction. Room was basic, but enough room for our family, walls are a little thin in the budget family rooms, we could hear next door clearly, but for a single night and the price we paid it was fine.

Very different from your usual accommodation.

We enjoyed the experience went for the king spa suite. Great value for a large room with a king size bed and spa. Spa worked with well. Lachlan at reception was very empathetic and accommodating.

Like: Loved staying in a castle room complete with tapestry on the wall. Enjoyed the free complimentary continental breakfast and free admission to the theme park. It was super hot on the day we explored the castle so it was nice to be able to go back to an air-conditioned room to cool down and have some lunch before heading back out. And the parts we didnt finish exploring, we went back again the next day to finish. The staff were all super nice and the actors/characters at the theme park were outstanding! Dislike: Not enough hooks and shelves in the bathroom. Also the glass door in the shower leaked so there was water on the floor outside every time anyone used the shower. The shower floor was also super slippery. Location wise, there's nowhere to eat after dark so no choice but to head to ballarat city centre or buy takeaway before you come back to the castle. But overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommend this place. Great value for money.

Disappointed- Family of 6

Stayed in family budget to sleep up to 14 people. Had a huge water leak in the room with moist carpet which made the room smell unpleasant. Old and run down. In desperate need of a facelift. Continental breakfast poor very limited options.

The best experience!

This is an amazing place! The rooms are even like a castle. Our teenage boys loved it. Lots to do and discover and learn. Included breakfast which was great. Staying in the castle made us feel like we were living in the age. Music playing and gifts shops of the era plus the josting and sword fighting was wonderful. If you go to Melbourne make sure to take the quick trip to Leigh creek to go to Kryal Castle and better still stay the night in the castle.
