".......Cruzin is a bit like a movie studio: step inside, and you are in the middle of a country-town streetscape meticulously crafted from authentic1950s and '60s memorabilia. Past the old corner store is your suite, and once inside, it is difficult to leave.
Cruzin is rated 4½ stars by the RACV, and it deserves it for the quality of its mainly period fittings, extras that beat many city hotels, and its spotless presentation.

Curios and period furniture are everywhere - this is not a place for children and, obviously, also not ideal for someone with little interest in the chosen era. But Cruzin wisely avoids pushing the time-trip too far, and provides a modern, comfortable queen-size bed and other here-and-now amenities. A return veranda overlooks a pleasant rather than spectacular scene, and leads down to a private yard.

The fact that Cruzin offers only one suite means the experience can be shared by only two adults - but for them, it can be a genuine hideaway. We had intended to check in and spend the day in and around Ballarat. Once inside, however, we decided to lie back and soak it up." MALCOLM MAIDEN
