"TV, microwave and kettle/toaster nice. Lights for some reason had no covers on them, too bright to leave on without the covers. Ended up finding them in the cupboard, carpet was a little sticky. Room wasnt available until a little after 2. Parking was limited car park was all filled up when we arrived back to hotel no where to park. We ended up leaving at 1130 pm to go back home. Would be suitable for couples or singles only staying a little while. Didnt suit us a family."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Ballarat property. The house was immaculately clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Every detail had been thought of, making it feel more like staying in our own home than a holiday rental.The location was excellent, peaceful and quiet while still being conveniently close to everything Ballarat has to offer. The hydronic heating was a standout feature, especially on the cooler evenings.Our host was incredibly responsive and generous with everything we needed readily available. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ballarat."
