The Sebel Creswick Forest Resort 4 stars

The rooms in the Sebel villa were fantastic! Really warm with reverse cycle heating and a gas log fire- really cosy. There is everything you could want for your stay in the kitchen and laundry and there is even a downstairs toilet. My only negative is that the entry was a bit dirty and run down looking and the gardens around the villa were not well kept with lots of weeds. The location is excellent for exploring Daylesford, Creswick and Ballarat.

Fantastic facility and the villa was perfect - self contained and had everything we needed for a great night's stay - wish I could have stayed longer. It was peaceful and great back area to sit and relax.

Rooms were great although needing a bit of maintenance. Food offerings were very poor for families. Golf course staff were excellent. Course needs work. Good location but more could be done to be more family friendly

We have stayed at Creswick numerous timeline the past and have always been very pleased. The units are lovely, and the design haas not aged at all. This stay was a little disappointing. The couch was covered in crumbs, and the bedroom clocks were not set. Regardless, we will probably return.

Spent the weekend away for my birthday ... our first weekend off since moving and we really enjoyed the relaxation of both the hotel and the area. Food in restaurant was excellent, general surroundings and ambience fantastic. We had sen other reviews about low water pressure and long wait for hot water but we did not experience this so issue must have been addressed.

Stayed for 1 night in fantastic modern, well equipped apartment. Perfect for family of 5. Kids loved the freestanding bath in their room ( with 2 single beds) with lovely views and T.V. Extra child slept on double sofa bed downstairs. Also had extra wc downstairs off laundry which was a bonus. The gaslog fire was very efficient and gave a warm ambience. We were also lucky to be given a late check out. Would highly recommend this to families. A great location with a short drive to Daylesford, Ballarat and Clunes.

We had a friend staying with us from overseas and therefore with 3 adults and 2 young children having 2 bedrooms plus a fold-out sofa bed was perfect. The apartment itself is very modern with everything needed for an enjoyable (and relaxing) stay especially with the ability to cook your own meals which is very important with children. There were a few minor problems with one of the toilets and the DVD player, but the staff arranged for these to be fixed quite promptly. The location itself is perfect and is roughly equidistant between Daylesford/Hepburn Springs and Ballarat (20 mins in each direction) so made for easy day trips between the two main tourist centres. The only small disappointment was that we were not able to get a receipt when checking out with the staff (at the Novotel reception) indicating that we had to email Accor directly and request the receipt. We did this and it took about 2 days. We will definitely stay here again and will also now consider other Grand Mercure apartments elsewhere in Australia (and possibly overseas).

We had a great time. The children enjoyed some basketball, swimming, tennis and even played golf on the putting green. I know that a golf game is 9 or 18 holes, just wondering if you have considered maybe a 3 or 4 hole game, close to the clubhouse for a sniff at how golf works for children? A driving range might also be nice into the future. A very enjoyable weekend.

Convenient location to explore Daylesford region. Beautiful layout within the villa, with all creature comforts. Enjoyed access to the Novotel's pool/spa. Also food was great at the Restaurant. Reception staff gave only basic assistance without any warmth.

My family of 4 including two young girls stayed in the Grand Mecure Apartments for 1 night during a trip that took us from Dayleford to Creswick to Clunes and then Ballarat. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Grand Mecure apartments. Great heating, kitchen facilities and spacious bedrooms with a big bath in each. Very quiet despite the carpark being full due to conferences at the Novotel resort. We didn't use the Novotel's facilities or the golf course, but as a place to stay while on the road we thought the grand mecure apartments were superb.

Could not fault the Grand Mercure Forest Resort Apartments. Very private for a weekend getaway and only a short two minute stroll to the main facilities if you feel like dinner, a swim or go out and hit nine holes of golf. Would definately return for another visit.
