Great size room, restaurant had great food and service was awesome. Would highly recommend and return as a guest again.

Rachel Australia

Room was clean, spacious with a spacious bathroom as well, not like some of the little cramped bathrooms some places provide. Staff at dinner couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Hand sanitizer was provided for every table and social distancing requirements (for tables) was adhered to.

Michael Australia

The hotel & staff were excellent, the room was great, so nice to stay in a hotel bed & not wake up with a sore back! The shower had excellent water temp & pressure, room very well layed out & comfortable. We ate at the on site restaurant for dinner & breakfast, food was great, the cocktail menu excellent & the staff were adhering to the covid restrictions with politeness & a smiles on their faces

Cassandra Australia

I think I was the first guest out of lockdown for a while. They forgot to have the hot water system turned on but they soon fixed it. Food service was full menu delivered to the room despite restaurants being closed for social distancing. They handled it all very wel

Walt Australia

Location was great, right in the middle of CBD Ballarat. Lots of great restaurants and cafes within walking distance and a convenient Target store across the street, should you need it. Just a short drive or long hike to the lake which is wonderful and has several great restaurants overlooking the sparkling clear water. The room itself was very nice and tidy and the bathroom was fabulous, nearly the same size as the bedroom!! Very modern bath with jet tub and separate shower. A great place to stay after walking about town all day.

Ben China

Great location. Enthusiastic staff if a little inexperienced

Helene Australia

Great location, friendly & helpful staff & spotless rooms!

Anonymous Australia

We liked the accommodation, food ,ambiance staff were helpful & friendly

Avice Australia

I asked for a big bed and they were happy to do so at no extra cost. Bathroom was clean.

Siobhan Australia

We arrived after midnight and everything for collection of the keys was very well explained in advance. It was an overnight stay for business and we appreciated the kettle and tea and a biscuit in the room after the long car trip. Loved that a carpark was on site.
