Big4 Ballarat Windmill Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"The indoor pool and spa was the highlight for our family - staying open until 9pm with a HUGE TV in the pool area. The go-carts and jumping pillow also hit the spot with the kids - the rec room was great, however, money is required to use the Pool Table, hire the Ping Pong Balls and airhockey table."
