• besse (10/5): - Soft bed. Comfortable room Amazing breakfast Great location Friendly hosts Had everything we needed. Nothing
• Joanne (10/5): Divine! - Tell Tales Review To host a stranger in your home is the origin of hospitality. It is not just providing comfort and food, it is the art of putting people at ease and feeling welcomed. Debbie and Lee are masters at the art of hospitality. They make their guests feel, not just welcomed but valued and cared for. Any small request will be met with enthusiasm and exceeds expectation. From the delicious breakfast in the magical dining tram to the fascinating collection of books, there is much to explore. The alpacas are delightful companions and I was blessed to watch baby Plovers hatch. Even the birdlife know Tall Tales is a safe and nurturing wonderland. Thank you Debbie and Lee for making the world a better place. You are not just running a business you are restoring people’s faith in humanity and the sometimes fading art of true hospitality. Jo Hall 4th to the 11th October. That I had to leave!

• Rohan (9/5): Great country retreat - would recommend this to others - We didn't have the breakfast - left it there and went into Ballarart town. No issues - just didn't feel like it at the time The frogs in the pond out the front ! No - only joking it was very nice place to stay
• Paul (10/5): This is an unique place. It has been created with care and passion and the result is a place to stay that is so much mor - Everything.
• Em (10/5): - Everything! Such a well thought place to stay. The attention to detail was lovely. Debbie is a wonderful host. Tips! Have your breakfast in the Tram 🥰

• Aaron (10/5): Excellent - Lovely place, wonderful service
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steve (10/5): Beautiful property, exceptional hosts, would highly recommend. - From the moment we arrived Debbie & Lee welcomed us to their beautiful property. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, and the little extras on arrival (eg. Danish, chocolate and fresh iced water) added to the experience. Breakfast was fantastic, and made even more enjoyable by the location, a refurbished vintage Melbourne tram, which included a sitting area and library. We stayed for 2 nights, and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing, break.
• Boyer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erika (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the whole experience!! The amazing host Debbie and Lee, cute decors and old tram was gorgeous! - they welcomed us like a family and had great time even though it was just one night stay. The property is located very close to nature and enjoy the walk to the lake. Will definitely be back!
• Melinda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Craig (10/5): The most amazing experience! - An absolute gem! Just got home from an amazing weekend at Tell Tales bed and breakfast! The Mystique room is decorated beautifully and spotlessly clean. There are amazing hosts, and then there are Debbie and Lee. Words can’t describe the generosity and kindness of this amazing couple. Two of the most down to earth and warm people we have ever met. We arrived as guests and came away feeling like we have been friends for years. Breakfasts were beautiful and enjoyed in the tram, which was a completely unique and wonderful experience in itself. Feeding the alpacas was one of the many highlights of our stay. We highly recommend and can’t wait to return!
• Jana (10/5): Unique and unforgettable - Everything was great - we got such a warm welcome! The room has a really huge and comfortable bed, a bathroom with very soft towels and kitchen equipment. There was coffee and fruit left for our stay and cold water, the fridge was also filled with cold drinks and so on, we never had before and it showed again with how much love the owner runs the B&B. There is also a huge yard around and you can watch different birds and parrots. Do not miss having breakfast in the tram - what an experience. We got fresh fruit, yogurt, ham and eggs … juice !Books and puzzles invite to stay. There are so many details and every little corner is made with love - watch my pictures, maybe you can a feeling and understand. We are so thankful about meeting and staying and recommend it totally .
• Dave (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely beautiful, plenty to look at and certainly different N/A
• Dianne (8/5): Very pleasant with everything clean & well appointed. Treats on arrival were greatly appreciated. - Easy to find. Clear instructions. Friendly hosts. Sheets & towels were excellent as were bathroom products. The tram was historical & very pleasant for a breakfast venue.
• Adrian (10/5): Absolutely brilliant. Breakfast in the tram car was great and way more than we expected or needed - What a fabulous place to stay. The hosts Deb and Lee were very welcoming, the breakfast was abundant and delicious and the room was beautifully appointed. A great place to stay to explore the Creswick and Ballarat region. Could not recommend more highly. 5 star.
• George (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ray (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was more than ample, tasty and hot. A slightly larger bathroom would have been a good decision at build time.
• Mario (10/5): Is the proper place to relax from the noise/work etc. - 11/10 Debbie and Lee were excellent, every detail was perfect. They look for every detail, from food, the room, information provided. I high recommended. I 've been in many places, but they are the best. really, nothing.
• Pike (10/5): Friendly welcoming owners - We stayed at Tell Tales during a quick trip to Victoria. We were welcomed to Tell Tales Bed & Breakfast by the lovely owners Lee and Debbie. Our room was super clean and smelt fresh and beautifully warm on entering. We were treated to afternoon tea goodies on arrival. Everything you need for a nights stay was provided. The old Melbourne tram set up on the property was a great place to enjoy our perfectly cooked breakfast the next morning. Well worth the overnight price and would definetly stay here again. Thank you Bradley and Ann-Maree
• Nethmi (10/5): Fantastical, quirky & relaxing - This is a quirky, magical B&B and we had the best stay! Theres a wonderful “secret library” inside a tram that was my favourite part. The hosts are delightful people and so kind and helpful. Loved everything

There was nothing to not like. Can’t add any suggestions, everything was fantastic.
• Jane (10/5): We stayed as we were attending the local festival so didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy all the property has to offer - Clean, comfortable, warm, beautiful surroundings and exceptional hospitality.
