Guest Reviews

• l-Ling (10/5): -
• Yunxiang (10/5): perfect 10/10 - As someone who travels often, I have to say this is one of the best houses I’ve ever stayed in. There’s honestly nothing to fault, a perfect 10/10. If I come back to Ballarat, this will definitely be my first choice. It honestly raised my expectations for every other place I stay at now.
• Keith Langdon (10/5): - The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable.
• Narelle (10/5): Perfect! - Perfect location for a large family, great location and very clean and comfortable There was nothing not to like
• Trudy (9/5): Lovely house, beautifully decorated and presented. Quiet handy location. - There were no wine / champagne glasses, only two red wine glasses and plastic white wine vessels.
• Marjorie (10/5): We were very thankful that the house was perfect for all our needs with extended family - It was spacious and beautiful We did have a problem with the air con ! But there were lots of fans and the house stayed reasonably cool
• Suzanne (10/5): Great location and close to centre of town and local attractions. - Great house for a large family with adult children. Comfy beds and pleasant surroundings. Just around the corner from Ballarat Wildlife Park and Eureka Stockade. Amazing gardens and covered outdoor deck suitable for changeable Ballarat weather. Hot one day cold the next. Well stocked kitchen with useful items to cook and prepare for family gathering. Nothing
• Kirsten (8/5): Great large convenient house with receptive host - The house is located with a few kilometres of all the Ballarat tourist attractions. Large house with 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms would easily sleep 8 Clean and today. Extremely responsive host - easy to contact during stay Many air fresheners made for a strong smell on arrival which cleared with opening doors and windows. Gave this feedback to host on departure which was well received.
• Merrin (8/5): We had a lovely, warm stay. - The seats underneath the breakfast bar are far too high. My nieces came over for breakfast and they couldn’t get their legs under the breakfast bar.

• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Value for money. Close to centre and Sovereign Hill. Good for a big family stay.
• Belle (10/5): Peaceful and spacious accommodation provided the perfect setting for our extended family visit. - We were visiting for a family milestone celebration, but due to limited accommodation at our son's place, we needed somewhere for our extended family to stay. We couldn't have chosen a better spot! The peaceful and spacious accommodation provided the perfect setting for our group. The house comfortably accommodated all 7 of us, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. What we appreciated was the quiet, semi-rural setting, which made it easy to unwind post-birthday celebrations. Yet, we were still just a short distance from the CBD, making it incredibly convenient. It was the ideal place for our family and we highly recommend it!
• Geoffrey (10/5): Would love to come and stay again but next time with my grandchildren. - This house is one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed at. We travelled with my 97 year old mum and was perfect for her. I don't want to rave how nice it was too much as it will be booked out next time I get a chance to go there. We had a beautiful stay. I don't think I can think of a thing wrong with this place.
• Jenny (10/5): Lovely spacious home which was well presented.Would highly recommend. - Spacious home which was well presented.The communication with the host via booking.com was excellent.The home is in a quiet area only a few minutes drive to Central Ballarat No complaints.
• Thalia (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious house in a nice quiet area that was still close enough to everything we needed to get to. The beds weren't comfortable but that was the only negative.
• Dianne (10/5): Fabulous place to stay when visiting Ballarat - A welcoming, family friendly home in a great location. There was a range of books, puzzles and games available for children and a comfortable lounge area for the adults. Communication with the host was clear and responses were received in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend as a place to stay for a family escape to Ballarat.
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful clean house with all the services and amenities we could need. Easy access, quiet location and slept 8 of us comfortably. Lots of thoughtful touches - even colour-coding the books on the bookshelves. Very comfy couch! Thanks for sharing this lovely home. Scratching for something to not like as it was all lovely - maybe some new table tennis bats would be good.
• Sandra (10/5): A very comfortable, peaceful and beautifully furnished home. - A very comfortable and beautifully furnished home. Fresh and clean and a peacful setting and close to the city central.
• Andrew (10/5): Fantastic place to wind down after a long day driving. Fully-furnished kitchen and warm living room make the place great -
• Adrian (10/5): Great value for money, location is really good and the host was very responsive and helpful. - The property is huge, it has everything for a nice relaxing holiday such as heated blanket, ducted heating, gaming room, TV with Disney+ subscription, comfortable sofa and other amenities like towel, soap and cutleries. The process of key retrieval is not easy, they have padlock with mechanical PIN, which is hard to press especially if you arrived in the night, you will have to use a strong torch to be able to see.
• Giuseppina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marlyn (9/5): The place was very clean spotless clean. Very nice house, spacious and close to everything. Perfect for a group stay. Th - Very comfortable, Spotless clean and close to everything. My friends and I had a really good time with our stay. N/a
• Michelle (9/5): Fantastic place for our girls weekend away - Location. Clean Had all we needed. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Comfortable. Home away from home. Mattresses for some of the beds could do with an upgrade. I stayed in one of the singles and it was very firm. Another friend said hers was too soft and she sunk in the middle.
• Liong (9/5): Enjoyable stay - The property was superb clean and comfi, will definitely recommend it Facilities are complete and just feel like home
• Khakhia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (10/5): very beautiful house. clean, comfortable - The space of the house and the equipments.. Not any
• Richard (10/5): Perfect weekend getaway with family or friends. Highly rec - Great location and few minutes from centre of town and very comfortable and spacious.
• Dean (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amber (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gagandeep (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (10/5): Can highly recommend this property- will definitely stay again - Fabulous property in a quiet location. Plenty of space for all the family, modern and super clean. Beds were comfy & loved the games room
• Katrina (10/5): Photos don't do it justice - This is a beautiful family home (or for us - two families of 4 staying together). The rooms are huge, everything is comfortable and clean. The photos don't do it justice.
• Lorena (9/5): Roomy, tidy and clean family getaway - Alans communication and instructions on where to find the keys was excellent. We loved the facilities available to us. As we entered the house we immediately took over the ping pong table. The dining table was large enough to accommodate our family games night and shared meals. The back yard was so well maintained and peaceful, aside from the dog next door who did not agree with us being in the back yard a whole lot however, for the most part, if you were quiet and careful not to go near the fence, all you would hear in the morning whilst sipping on a nice cup of coffee (yes, a complementary coffee sache available to guests in the kitchen, nice little touch along with tea and cookies), are the birds enchanting songs echoing through the trees. The entire house was so clean and tidy. And it was roomy enough for our group of 7, yet still cozy enough to enjoy whilst watching a movie with the family, or quietly reading a book whilst sinking in to what i beleive to be the most comfortable set of Leather sofas I have ever had the pleasure of sitting on. The pets were happy to roam and our little King Charles was happy to explore the large outdoor lawn area. Ending each evening with a warm electric blanket tucked under the bed sheets was a really nice and thoughtful touch. We would happily return for a future getaway and also recommend this house to family and friends. The only minor improvements we feel are needed, are the towels, pillows and blankets. It would be nice to have a cushy comfy set of pillows to sleep on (the existing ones need upgrading). The other house we normally stay at in Ballarat provide a set of Hotel Quality white bath sheet, towel, hand towel and wash cloth per person. Different coloured towels felt as though we were invading someone's personal space/home, not so much that we were staying in a family retreat. An upgrade in quilt would also be a nice addition. The mat in the main bedroom was flimsy and kept shifting, and the room was so nice it really doesn't need it anyway.
• 嫚容 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacqueline (10/5): Excellent and warm inviting home for our family. - The location was ideal, quiet residential area and close to the Wildlife Park. The home was very spacious for our family, with a separate games room and TV area, with an open kitchen, dining and tv area. The bedrooms were presented in warm and attractive style, as were the bathrooms, with fresh linen and towels.
• Belinda (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Everything about this sizable, clean, beautiful property was perfect. Our family of 5 felt at home and didn't want to leave.
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lauren (9/5): Superb -
• Trillion (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cathy (10/5): Just do it..! You won't regret it! - EVERYTHING!!! The house was amazing, clean, everything you need to be self sufficient (just bring your own food)... It literally was an amazingly great house! Our only gripe would be to supply better pillows. Memory foam pillows would have just made it 200/100.. Great location. Walking distance to the Wildlife Park. Lovely 'nature' location that's not busy. Quiet area. Easy home delivery from a yummy pizza house nearby. We would definitely stay here again for an extended time if we were ever in the area! Completely happy! Nil negatives at all. Best Family accommodation hands down!
• Jonathan (9/5): Overall very satisfactory stay. - The spacious and comfortable layout of the house. The overuse of the perfume sachets (Potential problems for people with asthma).
• Chi (10/5): Perfect accommodation , low cost - The whole property is like a display home at its best. Well equipped, clean, roomy, perfectly maintained None
• Steve (10/5): Large, modern, well appointed home with everything you need. - Are breakfast out but kitchen well appointed. Nothing it was great.
• Tanachard (9/5): Superb -
• Wai (10/5): A fantastic relaxing stay. One of the best airbnb that I had experienced, definitely return.. - The property was in a quiet neighbourhood and the garden was lovely. The house was clean, neat, spacious and welcoming right from the when I step into the property. The interior has a very relaxing and calming ambience and pleasing to the eyes. Alan was very helpful and communicates well. I certainly will return to this oasis of comfort and tranquility. Absolutely nothing that I don't like about this property.
• Georgina (10/5): Exceptional -

• David (10/5): Lovely spacious house - Lovely spacious house with everything we needed for our stay. The ping pong table got alot of use.
• Mohammed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meaghan (9/5): Superb -
• Brooke (10/5): Pristine paradise - From the get go the home smelled and looked so lovely and clean. The walls were decorated with interesting and eclectic art. Not a cushion was out of place on the beds or the couches. Everything we needed was there and Alan had set up a futon on the floor complete with bedding for the 8th guest. The beds were made immaculately with such comfy sheets and a fleecy blanket too. There were enough towels and enough toilet paper for everyone. The kitchen was spacious, clean and was a pleasure to cook in. The outdoor area was gorgeous and had a hammock, an outdoor setting and more, although we didn’t get to use it because it was so cold. There was an amazing table tennis table, heaps of dvds, games and two big tvs. Let me save the best til last. Omg… the couches!!! They are the most comfortable couches. I will be thinking about that 3 seater for a long, long time. As soon as I sat in it I fell asleep. Alan was amazingly communicative, responding almost instantly to any query I had. I cannot thank Alan enough for having us. A seamless, comfortable stay. It broke my heart to leave! Thanks again. Nothing :-)

He also ensured the beds were set up to accomodate my 2 year old and the house was impeccably maintained in a great location. Nothing - everything was great. Maybe recommend a couple more cooking bowls and pots but otherwise amazing.
• Catriona (10/5): Absolutely the best location to stay and n Ballarat. will be returning - comfortable, spotless and exceptional value. could not have asked for more. n/a
