Weekend in Ballarat
Beautiful little house to stay in for the weekend visiting Sovreign Hill. 3 bedrooms plus a 4th set up as a nursery. It was bliss not needing to bring a portacot, highchair or any of the other baby stuff. It was all here. So clean and lots of lovely inclusions such as butter, hot chocolate sachets etc. Another review mentioned some of the bedroom doors don’t close but we didn’t find this a problem. There are cute little weighted bags and we just used these to stop it swinging open. Things like this are par for the course with older character accommodation. The driveway and carport between the house and next door’s accommodation seemed to be used by either property, which we weren’t expecting. Just be aware you may not have off street parking if next door parks their car in the carport. There is ample street parking out front. Highly recommend nearby CaaWaa Chinese Restaurant for a quick takeaway dinner option- delicious food. 1 walk through the fruit market carpark to Skipton St Bakery Cafe for a nice morning coffee. We would not hesitate to stay here again. It had absolutely everything we needed and was lovely and clean. Many thanks for having us.

Great location, cute house but beyond cold
The location is great the house is cute and well set up but not a place to bring little babies. We brought our twin boys and the house was freezing cold, the split system died the second night we were there and the fire place was only fit to heat the main room. The owner left portable heaters and we had to pile everyone in the same room to keep warm. The doors dont close or jammed shut which left it hard to put kids asleep. One of the rooms smelled badly of dampness. The house would be ideal in nice weather but its cold, damp and drafty for this time of year. Loved ballarat but wouldnt stay there again.
