9/10 Wonderful! (1,338 reviews)
After reading a lot of reviews I decided to stay here for a one-night staycation with my 5 year old daughter. Overall i would say it was okay. Things worth noting that weren't great: The pool area was cold and unclean. I literally had to find a member of staff and tell them that the steam room was disgusting. The pool itself was great and looked stunningly blue. There were no robes in the room. The breakfast was not great and the set-up didn't help. The toast station, water and condiments was in one corner and there was literally a huddle and queue to access. Teaspoons and glasses were empty and barista coffee isn't included in the buffet price. Things that were good: Friendly staff, lovely room, comfy bed, price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Smythes Creek travel package cost?
Get set to book, because a getaway to Smythes Creek starts from only £1,134. When you bundle your hotels, flights and car rentals into a travel package, you'll pick up the best bargains.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Smythes Creek travel package?
Don't worry if you're rethinking your Smythes Creek travel package --- it's possible to cancel or amend your booking. And if you've booked it within 24 hours, you may be able to do it for free. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur fees from your hotel, airline or car rental company. We understand your circumstances can change suddenly, so look up our Customer Service Portal if that occurs. When you're ready to make changes, we're here to help.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Smythes Creek?
One of the simplest ways to save money (and time) is to combine your bookings with Expedia. Hotels, rental cars, flights and activities --- we've got it all. Pick and choose a combination that suits your style and watch your savings pile up. Of course, a package deal is never a one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer more than 550 airlines and 1,000,000 hotel options across the globe, which lets you customize your Smythes Creek holiday.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Smythes Creek holidays?
Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make your next getaway easier on your bank balance. Paying by instalment means you can spread the costs of your next big adventure, leaving you with more money to spend while you're away. Klarna has several payment plans to choose from, so you're sure to find something that works with your budget. Browse these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Klarna has convenient monthly payment plans that suit all types of budgets, so you can book that well-earned holiday sooner.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay off your holiday across multiple transactions.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than all of it upfront) makes it easier to hit that "book now" button, consider a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.

What are the top hotels in Smythes Creek?
Secure a room at Ambassador Motor Inn Ballarat. It's one of the area's most in-demand properties. Another well-known option in Smythes Creek is The Provincial Boutique Hotel.
How far in advance should I book my Smythes Creek holiday?
While prices change frequently, we generally recommend booking your seats as early as possible. Most international airfares can be found on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If you're booking late, you may still get lucky. Low prices to Smythes Creek occasionally appear just weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Smythes Creek travel package include?
It all depends on what kind of escape you have in mind. Smythes Creek travel deals can include flights, hotels and car rentals. You can mix and match to create the travel package that suits your style and budget. You can also add on experiences and activities after you've booked to score even bigger discounts.
What should I know before booking a Smythes Creek travel package?
A package can be easier on the bank balance than separately booking all you need for your trip. For example, bundle your flights, hotels and rental cars and save a tidy sum. Whatever kind of holiday you're planning, you're sure to find a package that fits your budget.
Can I choose my airline with a Smythes Creek Expedia travel package?
You sure can. We have more than 550 airline partners across the globe, so choose the carrier that best fits your travel preferences.
