We enjoyed our one night stay, finding the staff welcoming and helpful. The area was quiet, and not far from the city centre. The property looked to have changed hands recently, as facilities were being upgraded.

Located not too far from the main city area. Quite and peaceful place. Bed was very comfortable and the unit was very well presented. Check in was very easy and the host very nice. The best part the heater was on so it was very warm in the room.

Very clean and well presented place. Huge king size bed and super comfortable. Complimentary water was also great. Air con was fantastic to walk into. Located centrally to everything you need. Very short drive to restaurants and sovereign Hill. Across the road there's a outdoor pool and playground. Very child friendly.

Cheap and comfortable!

Arrived late and the key was in an unsecured box, would have preferred a coded key lockbox but as this is the only complaint I have I think it is fairly mild. The place was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Fantastic place to sleep in Ballarat.

We had a short stop over night before leaving very early the next day (5:30am). It was clean and comfortable however the shower dripped constantly and this kept me awake. I ended up putting face washers in the base of the shower to deaden the noise. It was a very quiet neighbourhood and the Indian restaurant right next door was delicious.

Would be nice if you had a smart tv and a lock on the inside of the door so the kids can’t just walk out. The place was very clean and the staff were very helpful and nice and we really enjoy our stay.
