It was a well renovated, lovely little cottage right on the edge of town with plenty of things to do in easy walking distance. It was well appointed with everything we needed. Staff were super helpful and very responsive, even had a high chair for us to use. Beds were comfy and there’s even off street secure parking in the yard

The unit is much bigger than most motel units. There's even a bath! The location is very good - walking distance to the city centre - and there are restaurants and a pub right next door. When asked, the receptionist was happy to supply extra cutlery and crockery so that we could have our breakfast in the room.

The location is good, sits in Bakery Hill which is a short walk to the major city centre of Ballarat. There are some eateries within a short walking distance . We were able to comfortably walk to Mars Stadium , it may be a little far for some. We had an issue with room and advised staff and found it was rectified by the time we got back.
