RED007 · The Country Cottage: Leafy Ballarat Hideaway
Come home to enjoy a spacious lounge room, dining room flowing straight out to the backyard and three cosy bedrooms, plus a dedicated nursery perfect for those travelling with little ones.
The historic city of Ballarat offers a fantastic weekend escape with plenty of attractions to keep you busy. From Sovereign Hill – one of Victoria’s most popular tourist sights – to scenic gardens, art galleries and a boutique wine scene, there’s something to suit all tastes.
Less than five minutes’ drive from the town centre, this cottage combines country charm with all the modern conveniences of home. It boasts light and bright interiors flowing to a back porch and leafy garden.
There is a large dining table for meals at home and a full kitchen kitted with an oven, stove and microwave. Make use of the TV in the lounge room, plus an L-shaped red leather sofa and electric heater to keep you snug year round.
The property includes four bedrooms, each dressed in hotel quality linens for a good night’s sleep. The main bedroom has a queen-sized bed, while bedrooms two and three each contain a single bed. The fourth bedroom is set up as a nursery and includes a cot, change table and plenty of toys.
There is one full bathroom with a shower, toilet and basin, along with a second toilet and internal laundry with a washing machine.
