    Everything amazing. The whole area costs more than what we'd usually been paying in other parts of Australia and this place was no different.

    Really lovely host. Room was really five star and lovely and clean with every little thing thought of. Fast WiFi too.

    Very cramped food preparation area and living area shared with the three single beds. Having said this the price was good and suited our needs for the stay as we only needed a base to sleep

    Good communication with owner. Facilities were very clean with more than adequate crockery cutlery, ironing board etc provided.

    Cannot think of anything.

    As soon as we walked inside the doorway it felt like home! Fresh flowers in vases, real pot plants and neat as a pin with plenty of room to relax. A great location, quiet, easy to find and only a short walk to the local supermarket and takeaway etc.

    Kitchen is a bit poky, but we were only using it for sandwiches and cups of tea, so didn’t really matter.

    Very comfortable, fresh paintwork, furniture etc. Helpful owner.

    Unfortunately no Internet and tv due to a storm. However Host was kind and brought torches until electricity came back on.

    Very comfortable. Kind Host who shared helpful information about the local area. Very clean inside. Comfy beds. Close by to Soverign Hill. Worthwhile also visiting the art gallery and Botanical Gardens.

    The single beds are on the side of the living area, but this suited us fine with primary aged kids. BYO fresh milk for tea & coffee.

    Spotlessly clean and fresh, absolutely no smells, not even fragrances from cleaning sprays. Great communication and help from the owner on one or two small queries I had. Lovely comfortable furnishings and linen. Often when staying away from home there are multiple small things missing that I notice, but here every little thing was thought of. The open fireplace was beautifully set, ready for lighting. Excellent value for money.

    What a lovely place. And big enough for 5 people (one couple and three others) in lovely decor. Kitchen complete with toaster, kettle and microwave was a bonus that I wasn't really expecting. The bathroom was very modern and the shower accomodated the tallest of people and also the shortest having two shower types to choose from.

    not much - As a morning tea drinker, I guess I'd have liked to known if there was (fresh!) milk in the fridge or not (there wasn't, so I would have bought some on the way if I'd known. but didn't think) that's about it, hard to fault anything else. The place was so outstanding this was hardly a 'negative'

    absolutely beautiful rooms, residential area was super quiet, host was very helpful messaging info

    Only that the air-conditioner is a bit noisy at night, going on and off, but not a big problem.

    The guest house is spacious and beautifully decorated in a nice quiet area. We did not meet Denise, the host, in person, but she was very welcoming via messages. Would highly recommend staying there.

    If we could get some space for a separate kitchen, that would have been great. There was no place to rinse the utensils or wash them.

    The location was good. Near to market place and well within the reach of all the attraction ballarat has .

    Not much really. They’d thought of everything.

    We were surprised by the whole set up. Not sure what we were expecting really but it was so well set out, spotlessly clean and really homely. A place you walked into and felt immediately comfortable - so good when you’ve travelled a long way.

    The electric kettle would turn itself off before it boiled.

    Very comfortable. A spacious and homely alternative to a motel room. I will stay there again.
