About this property

Phoenix Park Ballan - Group Accomodation, Festival venue, Retreat

Phoenix Park Ballan is like a funky school camp for adults or families. With 14 rooms consisting of 6 queen bed rooms, 3 twin single bed rooms and 5 bunk rooms, we comfortably sleep up to 60 people. We also have a main hall/lounge area and a large communal kitchen complete with a commercial sized pizza oven - great for holding a group gathering. With an additional games/ band / theatre room and lots of space for outdoor activities get your friends or family or club together for a weekend that won't break the bank. Check out our website to see the retro styled hall and the refurbished rooms.

We do have a 2night minimum stay with a 25 guest minimum per night.

An easy 50 minutes from Melbourne, we are under 20 minutes drive to Daylesford and Ballarat, which means there are lots of day activities within a short drive.

Given our facilities are on an old caravan park, we also have powered sites for vans and loads of camping area. No permanent residents live on the grounds, so group bookings cover the whole property. Lots of room for kids to safely ride their bikes around.

We have 3 Eco houses on site that can be booked according to availability. Enquire through website.

Our 2nd year staying at phoenix park with 40 family members together for an early Christmas gathering. It’s rustic charm and abundance of space suited us all. The Band room was a hit for the teens & adults alike. Thanks again Cam & Gillian

Enjoyed the stay with friends in a quiet place. The place was clean enough and accommodation was comfortable. The area gives the privacy to ourselves. Owner and manager is equally approachable and responds to the questions

Excellent venue for large groups

We were a large group with 60+ ppl. Read perfect place for a big group like us. It has large kitchen and big family area and also a mini theatre. Just need to make sure you check all the extra charges like family hall, mini theatre, cleaning, firewood before you book in. The rooms were decent and clean. Just be aware of bunk beds that screetches when someone moves in it.

Fabulous for family groups

It was great for people of all ages. The playroom was perfect for all the kids, and the adults loved the open fire in the main hall. Kitchen facilities were fabulous. Keep in mind the hall has to be hired separately, and per day, not making it a cheap stay.

Excellent Place to stay

We were a group of 30+ ranging in age from 5 to 85 and spent the Easter break at Phoenix Park, Ballan. The site was great with lots to do. The beds were clean & the kitchen had everything we could hope for. The owner, Cameron was extremely helpful and catered to our every whim. We will definitely come back
