Bakery Hill Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very central location with large room and large bathroom. Very comfortable."

RACV Goldfields Resort

8/10 Good

"My son and I enjoyed four nights here. Room was as expected. Sofa bed was lumpy and springy… definitely not ideal as the only option for our sleeping arrangements. The rooms have the joining door, which would be ok if we knew the people next door. But in our case the people next door stayed up the first two nights until 2am, with a toddler screaming… the adults could be heard laughing. Even with two ear plugs it was as though we were in the same room with how loud they were!! If there wasn’t the joining room door I do not believe it would have been as loud. The shower tiles were ‘squishy’ to step on… so I do not have confidence are water proof and mould isn’t growing under them. I requested the bed sheets to be changed on the first morning due to my son spilling some ice cream… this request was ignored (I spoke directly to the cleaning staff entering the room!) and subsequent requests via reception were also ignored… it was very obvious where the ice cream was dropped and made a mess! Would hope they would have changed the sheets even without the request. Food selection at the onsite restaurants leaves a lot to be desired! The buffet breakfast was ok, but not sure if worth the extra costs. The onsite EV chargers were handy but someone clearly doesn’t like EV’s as they stuffed the ends of the chargers with gravel… on the second night I forgot to check and made attempts to plug in only to realise the gravel then damaged one of my cars prongs for charging!"

Quest Ballarat Station

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room fitted with all the necessities. The mattress was harder than I prefer but that’s a preference thing. I was hoping the room would be more sound proof but I think I heard every train overnight, but I do live in a very quiet area so unusual for loud noises overnight. Very happy with our stay. Thank you"

Sovereign Hill Hotel

8/10 Good

"In our room there was only one PowerPoint for a family with multiple phones and tablets sharing one PowerPoint. Disappointed that shower had a curtain as water went everywhere. Great location for sovereign hill village and easy access. At times not enough parking. Breakfast appeared to be expensive for children as well"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Miners Rest?

The best time to go to Miners Rest, Victoria, Australia, is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months.

These seasons offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and less rainfall compared to the summer and winter. Spring brings blooming wildflowers, particularly in the nearby regional parks, which is lovely for those interested in nature walks. Autumn provides comfortable conditions for exploring the goldfields region and enjoying outdoor activities without the extreme heat of summer or the chill of winter.

For couples looking for a relaxed getaway, these shoulder seasons are ideal. You can enjoy strolls through the historic parts of Ballarat, just a short drive away, visit local wineries, or simply relax at your accommodation. The milder weather also makes exploring the region's attractions, such as Sovereign Hill, more comfortable.

Families will also find these times convenient. The cooler temperatures in spring and autumn are great for outdoor adventures without worrying about children overheating.
