Ideal for a quick trip
We stayed for one night. It was a good size for our family and one of the more child friendly places we’ve stayed. It would have been great to have some soap and a smart tv or dvd player so we could watch the amazing collection of movies.
The property was not at all what was presented in the photos, and description. Garden area maintained but house not.Toilet door unable to close. No rails on main bathroom. Kitchen not clean.Kitchen cupboards and laundry filthy. Kitchen bin mouldy on bottom when changing bin liner. Fridge reasonably clean. Minimal utensils for cooking. Pots that were there were rusted and buckled. Bed linen had stains especially in front room, mattress in that room when checked was extremely stained and smelt musty. Did not appear to be fresh linen.House had an overall musty smell on entering. Rug in lounge curled up on edges, as had my elderly Father with us this was an extreme trip hazard. Lounge stained. No toilet paper or soap as said was provided.Wifi was not working, information provided to pick up network did not work. No number a available only name Paige to contact Manager.

All good only one Aircon for whole house apart from that great place to stay.....
Close to the CBD and attractions such as Sovereign Hill and Kryall Castle. Easy access by road and ample parking.House is comfortable and would stay again.

Good, basic property. We didnt need much from the house so had most things. Road is quite high traffic so bedrooms are quite noisy.
Lacation is great, There was no saucepan, and basic items such as salt and pepper, and no door for the toilet. It's ok for a overnight stay in my opinion.
Comfortable beds, good tea and coffee supplies and close access to bypass entry and exit.Paige was very helpful enabling us to collect forgotten items 4 days after our departure.Excellent and immediate communications with host.
The house needed a good clean. Floors needed sweeping, rugs a vacuum, cooking oven was not fit for purpose - fifthy. Clothes dryer packed full with wet washing.Not one saucepan in the place and our requests were ignored. No door to the toilet.Bed linen and towels are old and tired looking. Had to clean the fridge out before we could put our precious food in it.Three bins in the carport were all overflowing with garbage when we arrived and when we left. We didn't see anyone !
Place was very cosy particularly the heaters on cold winters day. Location was ideal, just of the highway, 4k to city centre, on arriving very tired fish and chip store only 2 doors away and then after a long day at Sovreign Hill the next day just 8 doors the other way to the pub. Very clean. I certainly recommend this property.
Not sure about the negative reviews. For the price the place is prefect. It’s basic AF but does the job. Perfect.

We arrived to next to no toilet paper. (Had to use our own) the line was full of linen & the linen on the beds wasn’t clean. There are gaps in the windows for insects to come in (had to put pillow cases and towels in the gaps) there was no waste bin outside for our rubbish & the recycling bin was full.
Was ok very sparse on items in kitchen No hair dryer. Door on toilet would be good Mattress not good Traffic noise

The key lock box was at ground level, had to kneel on the wet concrete to open the box to get the key, my father-in-law would never of got the key out.The house sleeps six, but had only 3 coffee mugs, only 4 glasses for red wine, it had 2 lids for cooking pots but no pots to cook a meal in.There were tea bags and sugar supplied but no coffee.Towels and sheets were being used to stop draughts in windows. We had to find the bin liner for the bin with the broken lid.No towel rail to hang towels in the bathroom as the rail had been pulled off the wall.Saying this, some easy fixes to make it a great little stay, appears to be some lack of care.Great location for access to Ballarat city centre and to the highway for heading to Melbourne. (Far enough aware there was no traffic noise)

On arrival house was dirty,beds not made, bins over flowing with rubbish, hot water scouldering hot ,no face washers.couch very dirty ,Worst house i have ever stayed in ,for the money i paid was a rip off ,bedside lamp big stain on it , shower was dirty, washing in dryer & washing machine ,no coffee,tea,sugar ,long life milk,ILucky i bought a sleeping bag to sleep in as very sensative to bed bugs,No pots to cook with cleaner came dropped some off,and done very quick clean.I should be refunded some of my money walking into such a dirty house ,i dont recomend this house to anyone to stay in. Owner needs to spend money and do it up big time .Owner needs to stay in other houses and see what they provide alot more than her accomodation. Didnt smell clean at all.Cleaner just turn Doona over instead off changing it, only changed the fiyyed sheet as no top sheet,not a happy customer
