The hosts were amazing, giving us ideas of where we should go and what to visit. The room was exceptional, far above expectations and definitely a beautiful space. the breakfast made us feel so special. Set up in the restaurant to ourselves, whilst tasting local produce. the location was perfect, just a short stroll down to the main street.

Beautiful courtyard in the centre of the apartments to look out into from the lounge room. Tables & chairs outside for when the sun comes out. Friendly staff. Comfy beds. Clean apartment. Daily servicing if required. Quiet & beautiful surroundings in whole hotel complex. Service station & meal options nearby. Our main reason for booking was a reasonable price in school holidays when others triple the price. Right opposite Sovereign Hill which is great for families. We’ll be back!

    Loved the trees and plants around the house, it was very warm and cosy, kitchen facilities were great and house was spacious. We very much enjoyed our stay. Just needs a little bit more lighting for reading, but overall it was a wonderful place to get away.

    Oscars Hotel and Bar is in a very good position for accessing shops, restaurants, the art gallery, movie theatre and Lésspresso cafe which has THE BEST COFFEE in Ballarat. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything one needs for a stay. Although busy with the restaurant the accommodation area is very well protected from any noise from the downstairs eating areas. All Oscars staff I encountered (wait staff, management, room service staff) are very experienced, friendly and professional. Oscars restaurant was VERY popular over the three day weekend I was there and I can understand why (staff, position, comfort, accessible and welcoming for all age groups. Their wine list, whilst not extensive, had some good choices and I enjoyed both eating experiences over what was a drizzly, cold weekend. Parking was easily accessible down a side lane behind the building, and access with baggage easy from that area through to reception- staff will help with taking luggage upstairs to rooms - no lifts in keeping with any older style stone building that has been upgraded in keeping with comfort and style expected. I would recommend Oscars to anyone who would like to park the car and explore the CBD, or have the car easily accessible to scope out the many offerings in and around Ballarat.

    So much to see and do for all types of travellers of all ages - from the recreated gold mining town of Sovereign Hill, the stately Kryal Castle, the Wildlife Park and/or Ballarat Bird World to visiting the Ballarat Tramway Museum (with a ride on a heritage tram), a walk around Lake Wendouree (with so much bird life to see), strolling the magnificent Woowookarung Dementia Friendly Forest & Sensory Trail or taking in the magnificent view from Mt Buninyong, spend time in the beautiful Botanical Gardens or even take a casual art class - there is something for everyone! A wonderful choice of accommodation for all types of travellers in various price ranges, wonderful places to eat and choice shopping experience. You’ll need to stay more than one night though!

    Ballarat is a quaint little town.

    Ballarat is a quaint little town. Sovereign Hill was the main focus of our visit, plus catching up with family. The kids, 12 and 9, loved exploring Sovereign Hill, and there was plenty to see and do; panning for gold, shopping for jewellery, and learning about the second largest gold nugget ever found. We stayed at Sovereign Park Motor Inn, which was perfect for our family of four. The Red Lion next door made for an easy breakfast option before we left Ballarat.

    I love the history of Ballarat. The buildings have been well maintained. Plenty to see and do for adults. Plenty of good food places available Much improved in that respect. Sovereign Hill is a must visit so is a stroll along Lydiard street

    I had an absolutely delightful stay at Vera Hotel in Ballarat! From the moment I arrived, the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The building itself is stunning—expertly restored to blend historical charm with modern conveniences. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the bath was nothing short of amazing. The location couldn't be more perfect for exploring Ballarat. I would definitely recommend Vera Hotel and look forward to staying here again in the future!

    Stunning hotel! Booked for an overnight stay through booking.com in June and secured the room for a great deal! Clean! Comfortable! Balconies overlooking beautiful kept gardens and golf course. Greeted kindly at reception and asked if we had dinner sorted. There is a bar although we didn't venture there. A short trip into Ballarat and uber will collect you from front entrance if needed. Beds are SUPER comfy!

    This is the only place I stay at in Ballarat. The rooms are clean, it's in a great location, it's cheap as chips, it's a no-fuss set-up to check yourself in and out. Love it. Actually moving here for work for the next 3 years but will be recommending this place to anyone visiting. They've even got much better pillows from the last time I stayed here which was literally my only complaint.
