Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Clean, spacious and brand-new villas! I was impressed. Each room has its own bathroom with shower but also a spa type bath. When on the terrasse or balcony, make sure to keep an eye on the golf course since a mob of hopping kangaroos make their way there and are fun to watch.”
“It was such a beautiful villa! Neighbours were so quiet and good location. Nice restraint nearby.”
“Extremely well-appointed and comfy place to stay as a winter escape from Melbourne, especially for two friends who enjoyed individual en suite bedrooms with individual reverse-cycle aircon and TVs. Under-cover parking. Nice walks, need a car to explore and enjoy Creswick town (yes, two great bakeries!) and heaps of district attractions. Visitor Centre in town provides a mine of information. Our two-night stay wasn't long enough.”
“Sebel Creswick is conveniently located a few minutes from the Creswick shops and restuarants. The two storey accommodation has two bedrooms and bathrooms located on the first floor. The bedrooms were large and spacious and each bedside table had a wireless charger. This was handy as there are no spare powerpoints in the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a bath located outside of the bathrooms. There is a third toilet on the ground level. There is also a full kitchen, a dining area and a lounge room on the ground floor. The villas have a laundry with a washer and dryer but unfortunately no laundry detergent. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave oven, dish washer and stove. There is dish washer power and crockery for six people however our villa only had five mugs. Besides the missing mug and the lack of laundry detergent, the body wash container in the shower of one of the bathrooms was empty and the cleaners could have done a better job with the vaccuming before we checked in. Overall, a good stay but there is an opportunity to make it an excellent stay with a few small improvements.”
“Location is central to many tourist destinations, about 20-30 min drive. No onsite managers but housekeeping was great. Room was spacious. Bath & ensuite in each room. Huge skylight in each bathroom.”
