“The RACV Goldfields Resort strikes a fine balance between family activities and grown-up relaxation, notably with its Tony Cashmore-designed golf course. I think the ArtHouse gallery featuring local artists adds a distinctive touch, and the locally inspired cuisine at the Three Founders restaurant, rounds out its appeal. For me, this is more than just a place to stay; it's a destination with diverse offerings.”
