This property is exceptionally positioned if you plan on doing the Sovereign Hill experience (which is exactly what we wanted and did) and be close to the heart of Ballarat (for shops like Coles, food and great restaurants). The house easily accommodated our family of 5 (3 teenage kids). It is clean, secure, and spacious, with a lock up garage & excellent heating for the heart of winter. Also loved the electric blankets on each bed, which we all appreciated after the Winter Wonderland Sovereign Hill experience and Aura show. The property also had an air conditioner if you plan a summer stay. The kitchen was roomy and well equiped, bedrooms spacious and bathrooms a great size. My only suggestion to Tom was a couple of bean bags or armchairs. The couches although seat 5 also meant we had to sit up straight to watch a movie on the huge TV. Some extra seating would have made it more enjoyable to lounge. Neighbourhood quiet too. Tom, the host, was informative and accommodating & a delight to work with. I highly recommend this property and would definitely re-book this property. Loved it.
