There’s so much to do in Creswick, you won’t know where to start. Take a scenic drive or get active exploring Creswick Regional Park—experienced hikers can tackle the 210km-long Goldfields Track between Creswick and Ballarat. Dig into history at Creswick Museum, take a Gold & Relics tour, or visit the Creswick Mill to learn about the production of natural fibres and meet their lambs and alpacas. The Creswick Farmers Market opens on the third Saturday of each month at the nearby neighbourhood centre, or you can coincide a day trip to Daylesford with their Sunday Market. There are great local joints to eat and drink, including pizza and pasta at Raffas Pizza, the Farmers Arms Hotel, the American Hotel, the Leavers Hotel, or authentic French bakery Le Peche Gourmand.
Beyond Creswick, you won’t need to drive more than half an hour for a host of nature, history, and leisure activities. Ballarat and its living museum Sovereign Hill are a 20-minute drive away, while Daylesford’s wellness and relaxation hub is just 25 minutes in the opposite direction.
Whether it’s activity or rest you’re craving, you’ll find it when you stay at Creswick Holiday Park.
